If the built in leds are anything like their lanterns I wouldn't get too excited. My Coleman lantern's rechargeable battery didn't even last 1 trip, it's knackered.

You can check it out here to Razor (I like the front door lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV6YeFe2oh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV6YeFe2oh4 One thing I don't like about it is the fact with that front self closing door doesn't look like you can actually zip it up totally ?? Which will let some bugs in, bit of a let down. I liked it till I noticed that....Cheers Steve

I came across an awning tent which looks really familiar

I just ordered one of these to replace our old kitchen tent so we can cook without bugs and have as much or little wind protection as we like

Looks a bit like an oztent.. I was thinking their jet tent looks a bit like a Black Wolf turbo tent.

Hi Steve
I have 1/ out back camper 3.2x2.6mtr for over 37 years
2/ family tourer 1310 4x3mtr 14 years (young family)
3/ swags for all =1 double 2 singles 8 years
4/ jayco eagle out back 10 years
Knowing what i know now i would have brought two (minute tents 3.2x2.6)
4 pegs 1 pole and there up...
If I do a traveling trip I take the minute tent and set the swags up in it.
There are lots of companies who make this style of tent for me it came down
to freedom tents or southern cross ..
Cheers
Geoff

How do these go when it rains? I'm looking for a secondary shelter.

For that money, I'd far prefer an oztent. Faster, more accessory options and no pole getting in your way - smack bang in the middle of the tent. IMHO, a turbo tent would also be a better option also for similar $$$. But then, each to their own!

I dont know yet. I have an old one with no awnings and it isnt good in wind or rain thats why i'm getting this one cos you can close it right up. Ordered from Snowys Outdoor in SA $229 inc delivery

We used a canvas tourer tent for years, with a side pole kit so that there was no pole in the middle. We choose the tourer over Black Wolf and Oz tent for the simplicity. No folding poles or joints and no fly.
The first time we saw a Kodiak on display we bought it. Way more room than a tourer at standing height. Poles are on the outside really simplifies setting it up.

I had the Coleman CPX pop up gazebo with the LED lights in built was really good and lights would last for ages.

don't have it anymore unfortunately but will be buying another soon aswell.

Just going by the video is hard to make out but there looks to be a zip tab around the outside of the door, I see what you mean with the door tho will be something I'll have a close look at thanks for the heads up mate.

Fair enough, pity their CPX lanterns aren't the same.
