Coleman Meadowood 4 person tunnel tent with blackout £250 members price @ Go Outdoors

Been on the lookout for a smaller tunnel tent for weekends away with one or more of the children. Was nearly going to pull the trigger on the Coleman Aspen 4 at costco for £265, then saw this had come back in stock, and cheaper. I don't quite know the difference between the models, but this is apparently one up from the aspen (which is above the vail), and one below the Castle Pines (and weathermaster is top spec).

This family tent is ideal for weekends away as well as longer breaks.

Good head height is provided throughout while the lightweight fibreglass poles support the tent structure and ensure both a lighter weight package as well as flexibility to deflect stronger wind gusts.

The two bedrooms are extra-large and will comfortably fit larger airbeds and feature BlackOut Bedroom® technology blocking daylight, reducing the temperature during the day and increasing it at night, ensuring a more restful sleep for all the family.

Additional features include a porch peak for weather protection and the main entrance features a drop down doorway providing barrier-free access reducing possible trip hazards. Ample low and high level ventilation aids temperature control and prevents condensation while zipped window covers are easy to adjust and ensure greater privacy. Zipped cable entry points allow access for powered accessories together with multiple lantern attachment points.

BlackOut Bedroom® blocks out 99% of daylight from entering the bedroom as well as keeping it 5°C cooler during the day and 1°C warmer at night
Barrier-free access, making it easier to enter and exit the tent without a step that could cause trips
Full head height throughout
Low ventilation window and awning style back vent aids temperature control and prevents condensation to keep you comfortable
