Hi, At the end of last summer I posted about my leaking SIG and was given some excellent advice. We have just got back from a very soggy week in Devon and had no water inside the tent at all.
I got 3 large groundsheets from Argos to add to the 2 I already had and completely covered the floor. Job done
Sadly I think that the Scenic 7 has just about reached the end of its life as we had quite a lot of water seepage through the seams and many bits are becoming fragile.
It has been a good tent and we have had it for 6 years so I suppose it has done well.
Thanks again for the advice.

The Oakland is a great tent. We have a 2010 one and they have improved on it since then so it is even better. There is plenty of room for the 3 of us in it, but I'd say you wouldn't want anymore more than 4 of you in it (2 adults, 2 young kids)

I also have a 2010 Oakland XL, and it is a great tent. It' pretty easy to erect once you've got the hang of it and has ample space. I'd def recommend getting the carpet though, gives it a whole different feel.
Don't know where you are in the Midlands, but Winfields at Feckenham had a Oakland on display. ( I've not been able to camp yet this year because I've been I'll, so have had to get some tent therapy somewhere!)
We also have the oakland xl 2012 with the little porch thing above the side door...we got ours really cheap after pricing it online and getting Go outdoors to pricematch it There is only the 2 of us but there is plenty of room...we open the bedroom into 1 and have a massive bed...we purchased the side extention also to cook in but now i want the new front closed in awning but Garry says no we will need a bigger car so that will have to wait...we also have the carpet but wished the done a one for the bedroom bit aswell
