Hee heee, I am soooooooooo glad that someone else has a problem in hiding tents.
My latest one has just been 'discovered' I wasn't ready with a suitable enough excuse!
Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
Have you got your tent yet? what do you think to it? am thinking of maybe putting a bid on one thats on ebay at the minute - what do you think? seller says it's 10 yrs old but been kept well, also any idea as to what would be a fair price - it's started at £50.
Congratulations on the tent Jo you are far braver than me - it would be not the tent that would need to go into hiding if I bought another !! Not heard of that Cabanon before will have to take a nosey on Ebay at the other one.
Kirsty - it depends what model it is my Athena is 9yrs old & in immaculate condition I paid £165 for it and consider it a bargain but they have gone for less & more in varying condition. If you get any Cabanon for £50 then its a bargain providing its not a wreck - the utility tents are going for more than that!

Thanks x
I have discussed this one will Keely as I thought about bidding and keeping the one I have as a spare canvas.
We decided, if its in good nick no more the £150 at a push
My Athena is almost 9 years old and is immaculate. I paid £99 for mine (and its newer that Fiona`s ) But My top bid on it was £160 so I was very lucky
Sadly, due to ongoing car sagas I have to sort a courier to fetch my new purchase.....making it less of a bargain

Cheeky!! 1 year younger but a lot cheaper - Im not sure I would've thrown in that £165 had the seller not added a zip out panel to the description which the tent didn't actually have - but I'm glad I did because of the A1 condition. I wonder if anyone else will manage to get such a bargain as £99 - probably too many of us looking now.
I dont know how old it is Fiona,not more than 8 years old at a guess, I brought back a Cabanon brochure from France and the same tent is still made for the french market in the same coulours! Sadly its too far from me. I just keep watching and waiting!!

Jo, you really must stop buying tents!! Although admitedly, I would be buying more myself if I had any funds Maybe I will get another Esvo for next year!!
I know it's a few years since this post started but wondering if anyone has any photos or dimensions? I may (or may not) have won one on ebay and pick it up Saturday so far there is very little I can find on google although there was one auction which showed the frame naked so that has helped.
