Relaxing campsite camp not stealth today, testing a new low budget tent

Heavy rain and a low budget tent, see how this goes

[@keithmcguinness7913]

I've had this tent for a few years now, and love it. Last year I used it in Wales every two - three weeks and never had a problem.i Bit heavy, but out for a night or two, no problem.

I'm used to carrying the vango which is much heavier so for me this was an improvement, I'm going to take it out again as its really growing on me

[@paranormalrespectingspirit5190]

Loving the tent, but I am also interested in the portable DVD player. Does it take a USB stick, so I can put movies on to the stick and plug it in and also could you kindly send me a link here to where I get this from DVD portable player from. Thank you kind regards

[@roncamping]

sorry issues with giving you the link but this it what its called on amazon. DBPOWER 12.5" Portable DVD Player and yes you can put in memory stick

[@stephenheaton8205]

top bit called a Gear Loft I think

[@roncamping]

Oh right so it is for storage then. Bit of a bad design since it covers up the light hook

[@ashab1]

I think they are great you can put your phone in it and lie down to watch it and good for storing glasses etc, you can just not use it if you don’t like it, I have bought this tent yet to use it though, loads of great reviews not too many videos on it either.

[@roncamping]

@@ashab1 yes I discovered the phone thing as in the video, I like it, I'll definitely keep using it

[@mabsbry1318]

It could also help contain midges albeit not permanently. But it’s a barrier of sorts?

[@roncamping]

@@mabsbry1318 well what ever it is I found it very useful to watch stuff on my phone and I stored some buts there too as it is quite big, also the 4 side pockets gave such a lot of storage on the whole

Ron how easy was / is it to insure the van and are running costs expensive .Do you use it as your only transport ?

[@roncamping]

Yes it is my only transport, i cant afford two vehicles. It is easy to insure as all comparative websites do it. But beware its not cheap, so do your research before you buy because using the ford transit as an example not all transits are the same, there's so many different variants of the same model the running cost differs a lot. Speaking generally the engines are huge giving big fuel bills as is the insurance and tax they're expensive to buy for some reason. so you've really got to want one
