4/5 person tent (Comiston EH10)

Hi,

Coleman's Darwin 5 tent from around 2010. Sleeps 4/5 people in 2 bedrooms with separate living space. We used this every year for over a decade and it's great for a family of 4.

Here's an overview/some reviews:

The main thing to point out is that this is a VERY HEAVY tent - about 25kg. It's not something you want to carry particularly far. You can separate it into different bits (polls, outer shell, etc) which helps.

This is a really well engineered tent with lots of good features (zippable ground sheet, storage area, storage pockets, hooks for lights, mesh windows, good ventilation, entry point for power, multiple doors, etc). It is showing it's age slightly (i.e. is a little bit saggy at the front), but is still watertight.

I'll list all the bad points so you aren't disappointed:
* A number of the poles have cracked and are held together with tape (but this has held them together for years)
* The front sags a bit (so you have to stand up and poke the roof to get the water to drain off now and again)
* The carrying bag it goes in has ripped (because it was so heavy!)
* The assembly instructions were rubbish (I've got some better ones I found on the internet somewhere)
* We've lost the poles which let you turn the front door into a canopy - the door works, you just can't set it up as a canopy.

Happy to give a demonstration on how to put it up. I'll even throw in a mallet so you have everything you need.

Available in Morningside.

Anyone?
