Here we have a Brilliant 7 Person tent which is or was highly sought after because of it's size & sturdiness.
I bought it locally last summer for my small family but only got to open it up & try it near the beach - we never actually used it - just too big for three of us.
The person who I bought it off had 2 teenage boys but didn't like camping much & told me they only used it twice maybe three times.
A really sturdy tent as the reviews on a camping website explain ;

Its a steel frame tent, all poles are colour coded, has three rooms, 2-3-2 man rooms, massive living area.
Has poles for the opening and an extra ground sheet.

Here are a couple of reviews :

- The tent has one exceptionally large living area and three bedrooms, one central large room with two smaller rooms at each side, where you can remove one wall to make a massive bedroom and not just that, you can use one of the smaller rooms as a walk-in wardrobe with its pole hanger.

The spacious front porch area, we used as a kitchen, the only negative side in the mornings the porch canvas ceiling was soaking wet with condensation due to it being only single skin, unlike the rest of the tent.

Yes, it is a heavy tent, but it is very sturdy & must say we have had a few windy days owning it, where it held its own and others did not.

I know these tents are of some age now, but if you can get hold of one in good condition you will not regret it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

- Bought one of these second hand and can sum it up in one word, superb!

I have been camping for over 30 years and owned a lot of tents, this is the best one yet. I agree with most of the comments on other reviews, it is big, and it is heavy, but that is what makes it sturdy and stable. Lots of space, it has never leaked. Highly recommended if you do not mind the weight or size of it when packed up.

- Love this tent, does take a while to put the tent up (got it down to about an hour now) following instruction video off you-tube! But is worth the time it takes. Tent is generous size, has excellent features, plenty of storage pockets, space to put everything you need, plenty of vents, windows, and doors. Cannot really find fault with it. The only thing bad from my point of view is the weight of the tent poles once they are all in the bag, must let the men do the lifting!


Tent very waterproof and great when windy!

This 7 Person Tent would make a really good camping experience for a family or for a couple who likes the space.

The picture I have taken shows a small tear in the Flysheet. The Tent bag & the Pole bag are in really good condition - like new.
The Inner tent is nice & clean
And also the Flysheet is in really good condition for it's age.
This is a heavy tent but even heavier poles - If need be I can deliver for the price of fuel.
Any questions & I will answer them as best as I can.
