I think most of them look better than that. A couple of seasons but if you can't be assed to pack up in the rain, not a great loss.

I have one of this style (not this brand though) http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel ... 2-man-tent

They're pretty good because you have a separate "foyer" area to ditch your bike gear, so you aren't sleeping with your boots and leathers

There are similar tents at similar, (possibly better prices), at Aldi, no knowledge of the quality!

I bought a tent from Argos once. It was wetter inside than out when it rained.

I have bought the two man tent with the porch for 17 quid, so I will see what is like at mid year meet.

The four man tent I usually use at the meets was bought from Tesco.

A decent size tent and not bad quality. :smt003
