In the past I have bought tents from Argos for £30 that have stayed water tight for years. There was no condensation in the tent that morning so that ruled out that theory. My biggest disappointment was waking one morning to a light rain shower that can't have lasted more than a couple of hours, so eventually I got my ass out of bed and checked for any leaks as this was the first time the tent had seen rain.Ĭonsidering how much this tent cost I couldn't believe it had leaked around the bottom of 7 bases where the beam sits on the groundsheet and the jacket that holds the bladder in place was soaking wet with 2 of the 7 having a puddle of water round them. I double checked all the guide lines and storm straps just to make sure they wasn't too tight but to no avail the beam wouldn't sit right, really bugged the crap out of me. There was however a problem with the rear air beam which would not keep its correct shape on further inspection it seems where the bedroom fly sheet attaches to the beam its weight pulls the beam down and out of shape, I checked the pressure in the beam and it was exactly 7psi as recommended, I even put in another half pound of air to see if it made a difference which it didn't. The tent looked impressive and the space inside is enormous. We took this tent for a weeks camping in Newquay which for us was a 385 mile trip, as advertised the tent was a doddle to erect and completely impressed the campers opposite us. I bought this tent in June this year at a very good price of £330 off rrp,bargain or so I thought.
