I have spoken about our old skandika tent in the past the cheapy one from ebay that leaked.. well i just found some photos :)



This was taken after its first pitch.. Koln Poll Germany.. Great little site for short over night stops very popular with back packers which made evenings great as they collected together for a sing song and guitar :)



And my zac having a snooze :)

Thought i'd share :)

It was'nt a bed tent. it served us well for 3 weeks we had a great time and learnt allot..

The tent leaked, it had no windows. but it was huge (same sorta size as yours rob four bedroom pods)

But despite that we still had a good time and refined our setup the following year.. which lasted 2 seasons with only minor changes until this recent change :)

And the next one... (thinking about the Outwell Topaz again :) i could really go with it! )

Tell me about it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :tune:

That tent you had looked like the cheapy one I had off Ebay, fun until it rains :lol:




Nope, never took it out of the box. But, the salesperson said this tent was super easy to set up; even in windy conditions...

I'm truly shocked you could stand next to that tent without eye protection!

So, is it a hat or really bad haircut?

Great pictures Rob, they brought back memories for my Wife.

One thing though, having seen those pictures and the new Outwell range, can we all agree that it's not Topaz it's Orange.
