hi folks
Tossing up between a Coleman cv9 plus and a Diamantina Drysdale for a family tent
Both are three rooms plus a decent annex out front but not familiar with either of the brands as far as quality goes .... And open to great ideas on where to buy the tent from too by the way....
One seems to be a
well recognised brand - but seems to sell everything camping related so may not be quality tent builders... The other seems to be an 'own brand' make for kangaroo tent city.
So any pointers would be welcome
Cheers

My brother brought a Colman 30 sec tent last year. ( took 10 minutes to set up )
He used it when we crossed the
Simpson desert and it was useless in the rain.
I thought Colman had a good name as
well !!! .
You will need to do a lot of homework to purchase a suitable tent.
So many variables.
Cheers.

We can second that. We went camping this year and 2 separate people in our group had 30 second tents - 1 from
BCF (I think it's called a Wanderer), the second a Colman. We had to drop the common to the ground despite having cars agains it as a wind break due to wind however the wanderer got through the weekend fine and it was in the open. The Colman had buckled.
There was an oztent their and it was by far the best option.
