I want to buy a tent for my boyfriend for christmas. As they're expensive, I'd like to buy it now and store it. I have seen low priced StormproofUSA tents on ebay and wondered if anyone had one and could tell me what it was like as a brand? I don't want to buy something that's going to fall to pieces. the 9 berth is RRP £250 (apparently) but on sale at approx £45 + p&P.
Anyone??

Thanks Free for your Fabby offer, but I'm going to want a 4 man or bigger so we can take friends with us and not have to carry more than one tent. I've seen a eurohike one for £114 which has 2 sleeping areas for privacy! I think I'm going to save for that one!

Got a three man stormproof USA tent for the Donnington festival weekend off ebay as it was cheap. Was however great value, very sturdy and waterproof. If it can survive the rigours of drunk people falling into it after tripping over the guy ropes at least 3 times a night it gets my vote. The 9 berth will be HUGE though!

I am just about to sell one of these tents (3 berth size) which is an unwanted gift (unopened, in its box, exactly as it was delivered to me last week). It would make an excellent Xmas present for your boyfriend! Do you want first refusal before I put it on Ebay? I would want £30, including postage and packaging, if you are in the UK.

I would think twice about getting such a large tent. It will be very bulky and a pain to errect. A 4 berth should meet most requirements unless he has 6 kids.
