Skandika Nimbus 12 Man Family Tent Review


Product Description:

The NIMBUS is an extremely spacious 12-berth tent for larger groups which is quick and easy to erect and at the same time offers greatest protection.
The tent has a peak height of over 200 cm, allowing best possible freedom of movement and the generous living area in the centre provides ample space for all your belongings. The porch area at the front can be used as a part of the main living area, should you need a larger tent: simply zip the front wall out and zip it in right at the front of the porch, extending the size of your indoor area. Left as an open porch, the sheltered front area offers a cosy retreat for you and your friends on cooler evenings.
The three sleeping pods are positioned one at either side of the tent and one at the back. The large pod at the back has a central divider which can be rolled down. The breathable inner tent material and vents help keep the climate inside the tent comfortable and mesh on the sleeping pods and main entrance keep out any unwelcome insects. The handy magazine holder and mesh storage pockets are useful extras in this practical tent and a groundsheet for the living area is included.
The NIMBUS offers a fantastic 5,000 mm water column, giving you and your family excellent protection from even the nastiest of British weather.

Review:

We bought this tent after our 5 berth became too small.
Although it is a 12 man tent, we are only a family of 7, but the tent suited our needs perfectly.
There is enough space to stretch out, so you aren't on top of each other.
We used the large sleeping area for us, which comes with a handy divider which we used and put our wardrobes in the other half.
Three children in one pod and two in the other pod, left lots of space in the middle should the weather play up. We had enough space for a table and chairs to play games etc.
At the front we closed off halfway and had an entrance area, for shoes and swimming floats etc.
So much space, which is what you need when away camping.

Putting the tent together was extremely easy as the poles are all colour co-ordinated. Working together took us no time at all.

Overall a very happy buy and would highly recommend
