Pro Action 4 Man 1 Room Dome Camping Tent - Red

Product Information

Was very easy to put up, we have never put up a tent before so the instructions helped a lot, and were very easy to understand. The porch area was very useful for shoes etc, no room for chair etc, but good for shade in the sun.

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? I got one of these cheap second hand to see if the Mrs would take to camping as she has never done it and she didn't want to spend too much money just to find out she hated it. The one I had was huge, it did not look like the other ones I've seen as mine had a dome middle with a bedroom either end. We got the tent up in no time (30 mins max) but we did have a practice run at home to see how it went up and to make sure everything was there. Just as we got it up it started to rain but the tent looked ok and had no leaks so was well pleased.We have lovely friend who have all donated camping equipment and materials our way which included a massive gazebo and windbreaks and using these we managed to make ourselves a lovely cosy little home for our camping trip. (hopefully I will be able to upload the pics and you will see what we did). This allowed us to extend the tent and have a little outside area. A handy rule of thumb is to subtract one person (or two people if you have a lot of stuff) from the number listed. This means if there are two of you (for example) you'd probably be best suited to a three-person tent. 2) Look for air vents and consider their size and quality Whilst in the new forest it rained one night and some of the next day and we stayed very dry in the tent, the top cover kept the rain off. We found the top cover was a snug fit but did the job well. As long as you tie it to the middle before pegging you get a perfect even fit (i forgot to tie it first time much to my partners annoyance when he couldnt get it even LOL) 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.

We decided to bin the tent when we got home but it has not put off the Wife so we got a new Gelert Horizon 6 to go out with next time. As far as space inside goes, though each of the 3 compartments sleeps 3 people, we found that this is extremely cramped when, like us, you use camp beds/inflatable mattresses. This leaves no floor space at all and you will need to crawl over one another's bed to get in and out. Head hight in each compartment is also very restriced so adults may find it uncomfortable and cramped. The centre dome has the highest ceiling and the middle of this is the only point where you can actually stand upright in the tent. We also found the entrance to be rather narrow for such a large tent, particulalry with the many of us coming and going through it throughout the day. The first time I used it was just outside Brighton, me and the dog.With my son and his friend in other small tents on the next pitch. Then folding the tent in half vertically, and then again horizontally to leave you with the tent folded into a circle 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.

ProAction 6 Man 2 Room Tunnel Tent Reviews

We also take note of tents that struggle against the wind and need frequent re-pegging. Some tents actually blow over entirely. 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. Ventilation is fully adjustable and generous so that even damp conditions can be aired out in a short time. Firstly, please note that the photograph as shown in the Argos catalogue (and above) is NOT the 9-berth. The photo shows more than one entrance (which is the 12-berth version); the 9-berth has just the one entrance (as detailed in the specs below). I write this because it definitely gives a false impression of what it is you're getting when you go for the smaller 9-berth version.

We camped over a week at two locations with 4 adults and 4 children. I hadn't camped since the Scouts but setting up and taking down the tent was reasonably straight forward due to the colour coded poles and simple design. A bit of 'jiggling' about is required to get the whole structure straight and even, although the more experienced individual will probably find this easier. This is a perfect tent for first time campers, copules, teenagers and lone campers. It is fantastic value even if you pay full price. For the review score, we gave ProAction 6 Man 2 Room Tunnel Tent 8.6 out of 10. To reach that score we use information on what customers are saying about the same product from a number of retailers, to create an aggregate score. 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.We select the bestselling pop up tents, buy every pop up tent we test and take them to a field to peg them up and record how they stand up to the wind and rain during a blustery week. Pitching and collapsing

We pitch and peg out each tent following the instructions, taking into account how long it takes us, how straightforward the process is, and any struggles we have along the way. Manufacturers don't appear to take storing kit into account when labelling tents, so you might find yourself short on space.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. It is so easy to put up, completely idiot proof. You simply can't get it wrong. The front porch bit was big enough to put the coolbox on one side and the general big camping box on the other so I had the full space inside for my sleeping bag and clothes etc. I'm only 5ft4, and it wasn't tall enough to stand up in, but I didn't really find that to be an issue. It didn't feel cramped in any way. Unfortunately with this tent you really do get what you pay for. The material is very thin and when it rains you can feel the mist coming through. The bedrooms are on the small side, it is more a 4 berth than a 6 and you cannot stand up anywhere in the tent although there is just about space for a small kitchen area and enough room to sit down on the floor in the middle area (no good for chairs).The groundsheet doesn't keep out any wind or rain so you feel like you want to hibernate in the bedrooms in poor weather. During the course of our testing, all the tents experience heavy downpours, wind and muddy conditions.
