Hi all, we are considering getting a new tent, has anyone got any info good or bad on the Easy Camp Boston 600?

We have a Outwell Nevada plus canopy at the moment but this tent seems to provide a lot of light due to windows. We dont need a tent as big as outr outwell now.

Love being under canvas weather and all the outwell never let us down even during the gales!!!

The only thing I'd note is that your current tent is far more wind-shedding at the front than the Boston.... which would have to take on some belting forces and potential uplift due to the upright front and inbuilt canopy (its only got fibreglass poles). Isn't your current tent also PE coated/durawrap fibreglass poles rather than plain fibreglass, which will also have a greater tendency to fracture? I think that you might find that you're current tent has the edge on features, which you may well miss...

Had a Boston 500 and returned it as faulty after 1 trip. The stitching was awful and it felt cheap like a halfords tent. Velcro for curtains was barely stitched on and was wonky. Stitching on straps holing innertent was also incomplete which is why we returned it.
We also found that the drop down doors on the sig meant that it was draughty. The awning / eyebrow porch is so narrow that it's not worth having.

We swapped it for a kampa frinton 4 which is much better.
