eDirectory are selling this FRT101 Arizona 8 berth family tent for just £90 (RRP £425).

It has two bedrooms positioned behind the large communal living area, and an extra awning style living area at the front. This is a fantastic, well designed family tent.

All joints are seam taped and a full polyethylene abrasion, mildew and ultra violet resistant floor. It has highly flexible shock corded fibreglass and resin poles for strength and easy erection. The Arizona must be the most desirable outdoor living accommodation available on the market today.

Dimensions: 650 x 460 x 210cms

Been considering one of these myself, they all originate from here:
http://www.cybercheckout.com They also sell via e bay, but the reserves appear to be set at retail!
Sorry if that doesn't come as a link!
There are mixed reviews of the firm on the web, can't recall if it is here or another forum, but some problems. I had decided to collect as Stevenage is only about 1 hour away from me.

DO NOT BUY THIS TENT!!!!!!
I bought one and it went back after its first and last camping trip.
Its shape is such that when its windy the hoops act like an aircraft wing flattening on one side and bulging on the other.
The guy lines are very substandard and pull away from the tent when the wing thing happens.
There also isnt enough guy points by a long way.
The front flap+mesh windows are covered by a flap which is only just big enough to cover the whole left and secured by 2 tiny pieces of velcro whcih again when its windy blow open straight away which leaves the inside of the tent open to the elements.
And the cherry on the cake is that the tent isnt waterproof!
Despite following the guidelines and putting it up in the garden first and getting it wet and letting it dry the material simply got wet then allowed water to drip thru in large quantities.
I bought this from 1getfit.com and they replaced it with another model which i am happy with straight away even though I had bought it 5 months earlier.
They did say that these problems are possibly only present in the 8 berth due to its size-it is like a small garage when erected.

Thanx you saved me i was going to buy it,I will now shop around,Anyone know of a cheap but good tent?

Thanks Baldraptor, you have probably saved me £90 as well!

But, come on, let us in on the secret, WHAT TENT DID YOU EXCHANGE FOR THAT YOU ARE HAPPY WITH?

I think the firm you bought from is another name for cyber checkout, so perhaps you could check the link in my previous reply and see if they have the one you ended up with?

They swapped it for the 8 berth auckland which I have used a few times and is a much better made tent,with a central dome which adds to the rigidity.
At the time it was more expensive but they swapped like for like anyway but I have just checked and it is on offer at the cyber checkout site at £85-like I say I am 100% happy with this one

Why not try the Adventuridge Tent from Aldi's...

I haven't popped mine up yet but from what I have seen it is extremely good value for money and seems to be of a very high quality.

My local stores still have plenty left since they were first on sale last Thursday.
