Very helpful video, thanks Gary. How is the quilt doing now? Still like it?

I have two problems which I wondered if this will fix. The first is, being old and with weaker arms I’m struggling to initially get the awning ’tunnel’ fitted to the van. I can’t use the awning rail on my own, it’s too difficult. Usually I throw the guy ropes over the van and peg down, but now I’m struggling to pull the tunnel up onto the roof. I saw these and wondered if when fitted to the tunnel I could easily put them onto the roof so they’ll hold while I peg down at the other side. The second is, when using just the guy ropes I inevitably have gaps where the tunnel edge is gaping in places….and so this might take those gaps away by keeping it flat.

Great advice. Thanks

The zips are crap and water leaks down from the hood into the vestibules... Awful tent

Good idea... Thanks..

I'll be testing mine next weekend. Good summer tent.and amazing value? Thanks for the tips. I think I'll seam seal my one as the seams are not taped.

Thank you...

Hi What length Poles did you buy from Aliexpress? Could you provide a link if possible? Did you notice a difference in shape without the bend in the pole that exists with the supplied poles?

Good for families? Noise wise..

Hi thanks for the video . Is this really needed when you own a ultim comfort mattress ? I mean , that mattress is very comfortable, does the height makes a huge difference? Thanks again

Hi Gary, i have broken the valve in my vango airbeam, is there any way of replacing it? Thanks Sarah

EDIT:- So after a week of the tent being pitched a number of the plastic clips that clip the outer flysheet to the poles have snapped, they are very brittle and most of them are cracking. It's an easy fix to swap out to some tougher new ones. The seller couldn't been more helpful and refunded myself a good chunk of the original cost, certainly enough to cover buying replacement clips. After leaving the tent up for a week in the garden I found even with a full night of rain there were no leaks. The tent seams are not taped so I will be silicone sealing them with some DIY home made silicone sealant. I will also be swapping out the guyropes and making each one a sort of double triangle for each pole. Once all this is done I still think it will be a cracking good tent for the money.

Anyone know how you put the zempire u leg bed up?

Is this the same as the Robens Klondike? Did they just rebrand?

Excellent... 😀

Looks like a strong wind would rip the poles off.

I tried this tent. It was awful. It leaked terribly and the material started to come apart at the seams on the first use. The ground sheet is perilously thin, and the red inner is visible through the fly which shows how thin and poor quality it is. The poles and pegs seem to be decent enough, it's just a shame about everything else. It's cheap for a reason. Spend a little more and get a decent tent.

This reminds me of my much missed Ultimate Phaserdome F. That cost me £105 in about 1983. I pitched that thing in a howling gale with driving rain on the north west coast of Scotland and didn't get the inner wet. I hate the American way of pitching the inner first, with the outer rubbing off the waterproofing as the tent moves over the (now soaked) inner. The only problems I had with that old tent were that the poles had an even number of sections, so they were weak where they were also unsupported. After 10 years of camping in the north west of Scotland they were all bent at that joint. It needed the roof vents yours has too. I told Ultimate and they incorporated my changes but refused to modify mine to recognize my help. My uncle had a similar experience with an early Phoenix tent and they made the changes for free as well as incorporating them in later production. I never bought from Ultimate again, or gave them more feedback. Phoenix was a classy firm, sad that they sold out. Not sure about those unsupported sides and the short pole. In force 8-11 winds my old tent used to look like a drop of rain being blown up the windscreen. I have woken up with it in my face. I am not sure the attachment at the end of the short pole would survive that. Still, for the money, why not.

Brilliant thankyou

Great first look vid Gary, i never picked up on the doors being the other way round to each other, which is another massive plus for this tent, also good to see how you attached the guy lines, i did mention in my vid that theres no obvious guy attachments, but youve attached them how i suspected they would be, glad i watched this as youve pointed out things I'd missed, it went out of stock on Temu but for anyone interested its back on now at £23 👍👌

HI ,what about condensation ,or in more hot days is still ok?I think about this or Naturehike Nebula 2 ,but it look like the Nebula 2 is overlooked and not so easy to get

😂I look like dick - there is nobody around anyway.

Great job keep it up 🤙 you've got this

Nice job Garry :)

Hello, I'm thinking about adding the red guylineslike you, what length did you use?, referring to another video where I saw that you put a nut on your trekking poles, if you put a headless screw on it, it would be perfect, where the tip of the trekking pole goeson this tent, no?

Thanks for the info!

I've just bought a cloud peak2, so I will be using the adopted clothesline😉 Subscribed, cheers

looks beautiful mate shame you had tay with you 🤣🤣🤣

Nice and affordable combination! 👍Is that the Hikeman footprint, size medium?

Very clever, thanks.

I always wondered what to do with the little pins on the ends of the straps

👍👍

First signal for a few days lol. Yes, mad but so exciting. I imagine to some this was nothing but for us it was our Everest 😂

Hi Gary, it looks insane

Great idea. I just ordered this pillow, as during our last camping trip I really did not sleep well with my standard inflatable pillow (no incline, my neck was overstretched). I will definitely try this with my Trekology Aluft, but at home, before we start on another camping trip. As we are motorbike campers, size is a little less important, but I really have to see whether I like the added foam or not.

Nice video 👍do you have an aliexpress link for where you got it for that price please?

Nice video :) the guy line clips are a great idea do you have a link on ali for those?

Durston x-mid knockoff. I will keep my Sil poly x-mid solid 2 thanks.Dan put a lot of work into an original geometric design. This is a rip off.

cool, exactly what i was looking for

That’s for your video. Can you advise on a windy day are you best to keep all doors / vents closed as much as possible to prevent wind coming in or have some open to let it pass through? We have a Berghaus 6XL and experiencing quite a dramatic windy experience inside! Thanks!

Thank you. You’re the first person, out of the few self inflating mat videos I’ve watched, that has actually properly shown how the mat inflates and deflates. Exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks.

What no inside views

How safe are they round dogs? Would they last or pop?

Thank you for this video!!

Does it have a stove jack ? Is this a four seasons tent

Amazing. Thank you for this! Had no idea!

Nice

Thanks Garry, excellent as always.
