    Good Points: It's big, light and impressive, with plenty of headroom in the awning.
    3 children sleeping on each king sized bed and 2 each in of the under tents makes a total of 10!
    At 6'2" I have no problems with headroom, even when cooking and we've not noticed any condensation from this.
    The shape makes it very stable in high and gusty winds - they flattened half the campsite one night and it was only the other campers screams that woke us up!


    Bad Points: You have to be tall (or have a step) to put the awning up.
    You have to request a large pitch, and although it worries me, we've not had a problem with its size in the UK.
    Everyone is curious about it so expect to spend some time talking about it and showing people around!
    As most of the constituent parts of awning and undertents, etc. come in plastic bags you have to supply your own more durable alternatives after a while.
    The long seat cushions travel just under the tarpaulin and touching the (wet) trailer tent fabric and so I've had to manufacture plastic covers to keep them dry (they have to be removed before tent can be erected and so have to go on the ground or fill the car)


    General comments: We were initially told that tents like this with integral groundsheets were banned from most sites. Cabanon apparently did some PR, and we have had no negative comments. Indeed at one campsite when a 2" puddle appeared around and under our tent everyone was very impressed that we stayed dry.
    It has tremendous 'pose appeal' being easily the biggest unit on any of the site we have visited - especially with the sun canopy attached to the front.
    It tows very well behind my Honda CRV pulling the mpg from 42 down to 40. It is just large enough to see easily for manouvering, which is easy to perform.
    We have the carry rack which makes a frame over the folded tent, but we have yet to place the bikes on this. We haven't bought a storage locker for the A frame as they are very expensive and we have not managed to fill the internal lockers yet!
    It takes 2 adults about 1 hour from arrival to drinking the first cup of tea in the fully errected tent and about 40 minutes to pack away again.
