Camping in France on the tents 4th use, heavy thunderstorm rain comes through into the living area making everything damp. Three thunderstorms in 3 nights had been hard work - disappointed and going to have to try to waterproof the tent myself with Fabsil.
Where is the electric entry point on the other side? I wish you had shown us, instead of just saying, 'there's a similar one on the other side'. I just bought one of these tents, pitched it to make sure all is ok, only to discover that I only have the one by the side door. When you were filming around the other side showing us the bedrooms, etc, I didn't notice another electric entry point in that same area, so where is it please? I was disappointed to find mine only has the one - enough to take it back for an exchange - but it's frustrating to now have to take it all the way back to the store, and then I'll have to re-check the exchange. Frustrating. I know it's the correct tent so how on earth could this have been left out?!
The access point should be exactly opposite the one on the door side, below the window and behind the storage pods. It’s possible they have changed the spec, I was looking at a display model that had been on display for some time, although the go outdoors website clearly states it has EHU access points each side. To be honest I don’t think that would be a deal breaker, with a smaller tent it doesn’t take a lot of cable to bring the EHU in if the plug is in the wrong side. I would be interested to know if you got one with it missing or if the spec has changed. Thanks for watching!
Why couldn't I see it in your video when you were panning down showing the under-window storage? Is it all closed up and covered with velcro when not in use?@@cyclingn8
@@cyclingn8.. Oh I see - you said it's behind the storage. Maybe that's why I couldn't see it in your video. It would have been useful for you to mention that - but a good review otherwise.
Thanks for the extra insights, really good to know. Can you use the pump to suck the air out the beams? I’ve seen people doing that at camp sights before. Thanks for watching!
@@cyclingn8 After another attempt I've got it back in the bag with ease thanks to other videos on UA-cam. First leave the doors open, this allows trapped air to escape. Take your shoes off and walk down the air tubes towards the valve, forcing the air out completely. Begin to roll up the tent from the side away from the valves, about two foot at a time. (It might be a good idea to match your fold to the width of the bag at this point. Further experimentation to follow.) With each roll, force the air out. I did this crawling down the length on hands and knees from back to front. Repeat until your 'sausage' is about the width of the bag. Roll up the tent from the back, using your knees to compress it until you get to the end. Et voilà! Now go and have a shower because if it's wet and muddy you'll be filthy by now.😁
I have this tent, used it twice this year on my own, and it's the easiest tent I've ever put up. Literally up in 20 minutes with almost no effort: I absolutely LOVE it. About to take it on its third outing next week.

Great review, thanks👍
Your welcome, thanks for watching!

That’s is surprising given they have a high waterproof rating, hope you can get it sorted with some Fabsil. Thanks for watching!
Anybody got any advice/feedback on pitching this tent on your own?
Peg it out and pump it up, thanks for watching!
I’m a 70 year old woman and I can pitch my 400 easily. 👍

The instructions are rubbish. No diagrams and very vague. Getting it back in the bag when it's still holding air is a nightmare.

@@roblewis226 Thanks for the advice!

If you peg out the four corners then pump up the beams it should be easy enough with one person. Thanks for watching!
