I see ya done some booking for next year, I am damn determined to get out there next season, and hope to take in some North west meets, and maybe stray a little further from there on. Air circulation might not be your first concern when tent shopping, but it can have a major impact on your comfort.

I have the camping bug BIG time but trying to get everything to come together is hard when my wife is disabled, and no 2 days are the same. But i will prevail and win in the end and will meet up with the great people on here at sometime.It stayed quite cool in the sun during the day (it is quite a pale colour) and it kept us very dry in the rain!

The first night we experienced one of the heaviest thunderstorms I can ever recall; a night of torrential downpour intermingled with huge lumps of hail. It had taken me over five years to pursuade my wife to go camping and I thought that this was to be her first and last night ever under canvas! However, the tent stood up to the worst weather that any season could have thrown at it and all in the one night and I didn't hear one murmer from any of the kids either, all of us having been kept safe, dry and comfortable. What more could you ask of a tent? During the course of our testing, all the tents experience heavy downpours, wind and muddy conditions. Hi Elaine, I would never compare a Pro-Action tent to a Coleman Weathermaster, that would be like putting a wendy house up against the Taj Mahal hahahaha. We loved and had a Pro Action 9 man tent. It was not called a 'Canberra when we got ours and only had 1 main entrance and 3 bedroom openers.The Canberra I believe is a totally different tent.

Living space was ok for a family of 3 or 4 but would not want to have 6 in the tent as this would be a tight squeeze, the sleeping areas were roomy enough for 2 adults but you would not want 3 in there unless you were all 'VERY' close to each other. Then folding the tent in half vertically, and then again horizontally to leave you with the tent folded into a circle

There was only 2 of us using it, as my partner is too tall to fit in smaller tents! But it had room for our double sleeping space, and all of our bags and belongings beside us, with plenty of room left. Although it's technically 4 man, I wouldn't think it would be comfy for any more than 2 adults. It was a great size for me and a large hairy dog but like caravans etc ' 4 berth' would have been an uncomfortable squeeze. Small or poor-quality air vents will lead to a hot, stuffy tent and lots of condensation build-up on the ceiling.Pop up tents are all about convenience, so getting them up and down in good time and without frustration is a key part of what makes them good or bad.
