I have this tent and while its not worth the RRP it is currently well priced. The Elite has the the sown in groundsheet which was important for me. Use discount code OUTDOOR15 Details

I think they are very similar (on paper) the Hi-Gear one is 4000mm Hydrostatic Head v 3000mm for Eurohike. Same bundle (carpet and footprint) with the Eurohike is £284.75. Im not sure the extra 1000mm is worth £115. Mind you I have never seen the Hi-Gear tent in person so cant comment on the quality.

You're happy with this one then?
We've got 4 kids, so thinking it will be a good size for 6 of us. Any chance you've got any pics of it up? Plenty of room inside?
Think I'm gonna cancel my other order now

Have a look in Millets as well. Think it's slightly cheeper again through their 20% off deal over £150. Couple of pics, don't do it justice. Good size for 6.

Brilliant! Thanks for this!
Last question, do the rooms have dividers and is there any openings to run the electric hookup through?
Thanks for your help again!

Yep. Rooms have 50/50 split dividers and there is a power point opening on one side. Good luck with it :smile:

I got this same tent in last years sale. Very happy with it and would definitely recommend for small families who want to live in some spacious comfort.

Spacious comfort, never thought I'd hear those words along with the word "tent"

To be able to stand up in a tent is comfort. I'm tempted just so I don't have to walk around like qausimodo.
