Non camper trailer tent question
« on: October 26, 2013, 04:41:58 PM »
SO got a question about a tent, anybody used /seen a Coleman Chalet 9 CV XL tent in the flesh ? Been told we new a new tent due to mister of war and finance indicating the camper trailer is to be put off for some time  :-[

Nope no first hand experience... but the good news, with all those poles, I'd say the first time she assists putting it up, that will be enough to get full approval on the trailer on the spot. Make sure its raining when she helps to put it up, that will sign the paperwork.

Buy an oz Tent and skip the camper trailer until you are ready to buy an offroad caravan. Worked for me.

oh yeah i got the sign on dotted line from our first dome tent (small 3 man thing with vestabule) to upgrade to a tourer tent by southern cross 3 x 3 then upgraded again for a great bargain to the trekka 3 x 4 later (pending family expansion x 1 in future)whilst watching good friends of ours set up similar to what your looking, we were sitting back with a beer and laughing at there then domestic bliss and it didint have the side bit as that of the proposed. we now upgraded to camper trailer hard floor Aussie swag. so much easier and no need to worry about the ground we set up on excpet it being resonably level and free from rocks so we can still set the awning up(4 x awning tent pegs)

also throw a bit of wind into the equation during setup, you will get the ct sooner than you thing

We had this tent. It's a great unit but I'm too impatient and took too long. Approx 30 mins. So had to buy a c/t because of growing family.
Do more camping.

We have two similar style tents and can do them in under 30 minutes depending on how hard the ground is. 

The trick is to make sure you fold them up exactly the same way each time, so you don't waste time working out what bit you are holding.

Our OzTrail Villa Dome Elite is for sale if you want a bargain. Plenty of room for mum and dad in one side room, and the kids in the other.
