Guys,

I have a favour to ask.

Am going out tentless this year - going to buy one in decathlon. Have used the 2seconds pop up tents in the past and they have been fantastic.

Only problem is that me and my mate will be travelling in an exige this year and we don't have an easy way of bringing it home. Have looked on the web and they are 80cm in diameter.

Anyone staying in Tetre Rouge and lives in the South of England fancy bringing it back? Few beers in it for you!?

Thanks in advance,

Woza.

Im from Bournemouth and will be in that campsite. I should think we will have enough room left in the boot to help you out. I'll be in a silver mercedes c class stickered up! smile

We're on that campsite also, if all else fails I'm sure one of our group can help (Red 968, Black TT, Silver Vectra), the only problem will be back in the UK as our group ranges from Cambridge to Norwich....

I'm a TLer and I'm sure we can sort you out.

Slightly off topic, but what are those pop up tents like. I have one and am concerned that as they are single skin, will they not get too hot inside? What about heavy rain?

If you'd had said an Elise, then I would tell you for a fact, that they site neatly behind the seats. We did this in a VX220.

MadMac a good mate of mine had one and he had a lot of trouble folding it back together again, but he has problems with all types of erections though.

If you are that bothered about rain or heat when you get back to your tent you must be doing something wrong hehe

They are a pain to fold back in

Being single skin you'll be fine provided you don't touch the fabric. If you do and it's raining be prepared for the rain to start dripping into the tent. Can be tricky if you're big and the tent isn't biggrin

Thanks,

Have used one for the past 2 years and never had any trouble - once you know how to fold them away its a doddle!

Heavy rain is no problem as last year proved!

Yeah it fit in the elise behind the seats last year but the exige is a whole other ball game!

Why not buy a normal double skinned dome tent? They're half the price and only take 10 mins to put up, as well as being more waterproof. They also pack up smaller if you want to take it home, and if you don't they're cheap enough to leave behind for the pikeys.
