Hi Mrs.Pots  I've never owned a Rimini, but believe me you can't really go wrong with a canvas frame tent. They can last up to 30 years if you look after them, so even if the tent you've got your eye on is 10 years old, you should still have a good few years of happy camping in it.

We bought our frame tents second hand, and have been really pleased with them.

I have one of these. I brought it brand new off Ebay last year.

My Views:

Good points,

Easy to erect, poles have a nice system of being split into 3 long ones (both sides and centre ridge, you then have two lots of poles, legs and roof poles. The poles left over are for the kitchen area. Big bright living area (lots of windows). The tent stood up to some very adverse weather last august without a problem. 

Bad points, Pattern on the curtains and roof liner. Curtains can be hard to put up (no harder than my old trailer tent).

I have put 3 pics of the tent on my profile.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi, we had our Royal Rimini 6 for a few years & loved it. It was a great tent.

We now own the Royal Winnipeg 6 & have just used it for the first time & it broke ! We a re just waiting for a new one so fingers crossed we wont have any more problems with it.
