Mike what make is your storage tent? I'm looking for something of a similar size for when we are away just for a couple of nights.

Me too - I have been trawling eBay and the web but nothing small enough for sale.

Just off the top of my head, Just Kampers and Lightening Leisure both sell a small utility tent. Outdoor Revolution make them, Lightening Leisure sell their products. We also use a quenchua 4 man pop up tent as a utility tent, there are indestructable in the wind, which is a god send, it's usually really windy when we go away.

I'm on my phone at the mo and doing links will take ages, but i'll put some up tonight unless someone beats me to it.

Its the argos tent but you need to wait until its on offer realy cant remember what we paid but i know it was half price.

We are home pleased we decided to had one hell of a job to get off the site,the dandy wheels had sunk in the few days we where there and the punto would not grip enough so we had some hand pushing and pulling,my boots wouldn't grip the dandy stood still and i slid

That is a lovely tent Ali and may even push up to the front of the Dandy like a porch if your lucky ....... sure I have seen this model before and if it's the same model the rear opens up too, it's made from vynil like our cabanon one


Pleased you got home safe Mike.

yes it's vinyl so fits with a dandy quite well and it would be good to be able to hang up coats, put the fridge in etc. if the rear opens up well even better! and there's 10 of them for sale so should be safe !

These last two are, in my opinion, indestructible in the wind, we've got the brown one, and it's been superb, it's also incredibly water proof. I wouldn't like to use one as a kitchen though, when it whops around in the wind there is a chance things can be knocked over.

Thanks for these Cazz. I'm undecided - I like them all apart from the tardis type showertent! I don't want one to cook in but just as extra storage and for the 'fridge!

This was on sale last year and appears interesting my two concerns would be the lack of a decent size photo and when they have been on sale for so long that should be possible,and also they seam a bit straight sided for strong wind ie how much bigger are they at the base than the roof.

Would they need to be bigger at the base to be safer? They are made in Singapore for trade customers and the picture is the same on that website.

Just my thoughts that sides sloping down to a larger base would be more stable,i know some awnings dont but they are attached to something else,they look nice and in that material they would be great.

No probs, I know what you mean about the tardis shower tent, not my first choice either. Good luck in your search.
