Hi Gear Vanguard 6 Nightfall Tent with Darkened Bedroom Technology, 6 Man Family Tent, Tunnel Design, 2 Bedroom Tent, Fully Waterproof, Camping Accessories Equipment

Product Information

However, if it’s an airbeam you are after, or you have a bigger budget and are looking for an upgrade tent, we’d recommend heading to Damian at Newquay Camping, or the lovely Mike at Attwoolls, where you will, in our experience, get a wider choice, and still get fabulous service, a warm smile and plenty of help. Normally we use a spare bedroom for the loo, but it seemed a waste of such a lovely big space so we found a handy spot to the left of the wardrobe for that, instead using the spare bedroom to create a lovely little dark lounge space for our inflatable sofa, footrest and Outwell Kimberley side table. To this day, it remains one of our all time favourite tents, so much so, I could not bear to sell it and gave it to friends of ours – who now love it just like we did, however after pitching on a windy day and hubby getting whacked with a pole in the nether regions, thanks to a gust of wind, it’s been little fibreglass poles or big airbeams ever since in our little tent collection – and our Fibreglass Outwell Glenwood (my favourite) is wonderful but aging now, and probably due for an upgrade, so always looking for a bargain, we saw one and headed to Go Outdoors. What the two bedrooms lose in length, they certainly gain in width, though sleeping 4 in each may be tight. This meant there was a massive space in main living area of the tent, which on this occasion only held our table and chairs, however there’s easily enough space to keep a family entertained here.

Really good size inside even with added storage pod to put away all our things and access them easily. For fans of the Swearing Welshman on YouTube, he has done a video, and we’ll link it when it’s ready! In fact, I would say it takes no longer to pitch than our Outwell Corvette, an airbeam which comes in two pieces. Bought in the Go Outdoors winter sale as our second tent for extra living space / kitchen etc for our two weeks holiday, although one of the three teenage kids slept in it and loved the eclipse feature. It looks a lot bigger in the picture than it is in real life, the slope of the tent means the porch adds very little practical space.We’d like to see zip up curtains, a flat rather than sloping front door and longer bedrooms but this is a great tent and exceptional value for money. Overall, I’d rate this tent a 8/10 for the tent, 10/10 for the other accessories and a 4/10 for the porch.

Apart from covering the door (which you will appreciate, as it is the tent’s biggest flaw) and offering a little space to stick boots, the porch brings nothing else. It has a great hydrostatic head, the poles are easy, Mark pitched it mostly single handed, with a little help to hold it steady while he pegged it down, and we were pitching for the first time in the rain and it still wasn’t difficult (although with the dog barking like a loony, both of us soaking wet and being surrounded by camper vans that just pulled up and got the kettle on, at the time I swore I hated Mark, the tent and camping in general! We raced back to Go Outdoors to take their awful Outwell tent back to them and in fairness had no issues, with the offer of a refund or replacement (as you would expect). All in all, if space is what you want, along with stability and easy pitching you won’t go far wrong with this.The old Frontier 8 porch was absolutely amazing (and still available but sadly won’t fit this tent), but you’d never think this came from the same manufacturer. If you have used this product please leave a review, or your comments for other visitors, many thanks! If you want a big tent to hit the field, you won’t be disappointed with this one and in our experience, we’ve always found friendly, helpful staff at Go Outdoors, this is a great tent and well worth the money. The Hi Gear Vanguard Eclipse 6 Premium is a sturdy steel-framed tunnel tent with a spacious, airy living area and very comfortable bedrooms.
