I like the look of the Corado tents Merlin, I plan on having a closer look at them, when I finally get to "Go Outdoors".

Lot of tent for your money.

Some lovely tents there, do like the look of the corado ones. Nice lot of space. Just one thing about those ones , how long are they can they effect what size pitch you have i:e needing two spaces?

These are no where needing 2 spaces but are a nice family size
Mine is 8.5 m x 9.5 m and usually as long as i let them know the size they find me a big enough pitch

But the corado should be no problem.

They do an 8 man variant and this may be my next buy

Yeh agreed, the Corado is well within most standard pitches. My biggest tent is 7.7m long and I have never had a problem

Like Merlin, I always make it clear what the dimensions of my tent are (or if I plan to set up a utility or pup tent) when I book. If you don't I think your leaving yourself wide open to being ripped off on arrival.

I know this thread is a couple of months old but I thought I would just throw my 2 cents worth in. After numerous tents, and trailer tents over a period of 5 years we have finally settled on the Corado 4. Its an amazing tent with plenty of head room and there is also an extra canopy (£59.99) you can buy to extend it while still keeping it size of a normal pitch. The extra canopy is useful for those grey days were you want to sit out but dont want to be cold.

My only issue with this tent (and i've read other users have the same issue) is that the main door A, doesnt have a fly net and B, doesnt seal completely and therefore can allow a huge draught to get through. This was easily sorted by some double sided sticky velcro so no real biggy.
