coleman tent

Hi Jason
I dont know the particular tent but just bought a Coleman overlander and the fibreglass poles were very suspect. Only used it once and there were all bent and starting to break. Coleman happily replaced them but it is an item to be aware of.

Get out there & have a look

Jason I dont own one but have had a few people use them on trips to the cape.
They seem quite good and when they got used to them they were easy and farly quick to set up.

All the best

I was looking at them and was very impressed with the quality , It just looked like a major project to set up Venus Bay

Jason,
Haven't had experience with the Northstar 8, but I own a Northstar 12 (next size up) have used it plenty of times & had no problems, good for when there is 2 couples etc,
They definately get easier to put up the more times you use them.
But saying that the first two times I used it, I was by myself (just trying it out) and
could set it up with no help, bit of thought the first time then no probs.
When I'm going to one place and staying there for a while it's good(the size of mine is like having a mobile motel room!) otherwise it's the swag.

I think mine while expensive is good quality and will last for ages if looked after.
Hope this helps.
