Hydrostatic Head (HH) of only 2000mm - considered to be the absolute minimum water resistance these days.

Personally? I'd go for something better.

I wouldn't spend that amount on this particular tent. It seems they are only available on ebay, not a well known brand. I would buy a well known brand rather than an unknown one. There are still some bargains available on last years stock at greatly reduced prices

I see from your other posts that you want the kids next to you, not spread out in pods, a tunnel tent might suit you. Bedrooms side by side and large living area, and easy to erect.

Have you seen the sunncamp vario, it comes in 5 or 6 berth for around the same price as the ebay one?  This is a bargain price for last years model, the 2006 version costs about twice as much  http://www.e-awnings.co.uk/

Go to product overview then special offer tents.

I would advise you to go for a tent with a name that has good reviews on here, since our first outing was in the days when we knew next to nothing about what made a good tent, and all I can say is we were very lucky we only had sunshine all week - any windy weather or rain and we would probably have never camped again!
