Please can someone help me with advice on buying either a Gelert corvus 6+2 or a Royal Bordeaux 6? We cannot find anywhere near to us where we can view either of these, so just wondered if any campers out there have any pros and cons on them. My mind was made up on buying the Sprayway Valley, until I saw the reviews on here !!! Hoping to buy one very soon so as can put it to use. Thanks, Mandy.

Can't say I'm familiar with each. I know that the Corvus is very fashionable this year , and the Royal Bordeaux is a more scarce sight .For me, it would be the Corvus , but only on the grounds of being superficially sexy in that shade of blue. I think both would be commodious . The Royal is a bit more old school .Nothing wrong with that ,as I could have said classic, and would not appear to be this seasons colours, but would be just as non assuming in five years time. Always good to have a no lose situation with a choice like this.

Be seeing you!!

Hiya, thanks for your reply, it was much appreciated. Still sat here in a turmoil and am beginning to get frustrated, even the dogs have gone out the way!!! Think it will be the Gelert Corvus and will have to decide tomorrow as otherwise we may not get one. Will let you know what we end up with, cheers, Mandy.

Hi campers, have finally decided on a tent and have ordered the Gelert corvus . Was happy with the deal I got also, getting it for £329 from the tent team, as most places have sold out now. I bought the front canopy too, but got this from Awnings Direct, as was cheaper there. Going to try it out first before deciding if to buy the porch, and unsure if to buy the carpet due to having 2 labradors, as don,t know what it will be like to get dog hairs off. Anyone with experience of having a tent with a carpet and having dogs, we will be glad to know your opinion.? Thanks, Mandy.17
