Glad it was helpful!

I have a big camping trailer

Nice tent!

It’s the same material as the tent, so yes. Though as it’s poly cotton it may need some weathering (ie getting damp and drying out a few times). Plus, as it isn’t polyester, you will want to avoid things like furniture pushing against the tent flysheet so that water doesn’t bleed through, just as in a traditional tent.

I’m not sure how well the coating on that fabric would take to being ironed.

@@GetoutwiththekidsCoUk Getting a screen soon thanks to you 😊 So I'll see if it can be done through the backside of the screen. Did yours stretch with time?

Not too isolated. The biggest town nearby is Shrewsbury, with many medieval buildings. Also an easy drive from there is the ancient town of Bishops Castle. The Long Mynd is a must visit if you like hill walking. If you park in the NT Cardingmill Valley there are marked routes you can follow, as well as toilets and a cafe

@@GetoutwiththekidsCoUk thank you so much. 👍🏻🙏🏻😀

All 110g, 230g and 500g screw-top gas canisters should work with this.

Yes, you do boil it with the lid in place.

Glad you liked it 😁

No. Just review a lot of their gear. Not promoting it. Just showing it.

Yes. A bit tongue tied 😂

Yes. I called that out too in my review post. I would prefer the cable entry on the non-door side. That’s where I usually put furniture with the power unit on.

The cheapest I’ve found is just under £900

@@GetoutwiththekidsCoUk Thanks For The Info Happy Camping

Thanks ☺️

There are some big camping stores around the country but they may not have the Stonehill 5 on display. You’ll need to contact one near you to find out. I will be uploading a detailed video on the stonehill 5 soon.

See czcams.com/video/uO-OPXYRf_4/video.html

It's The Green Caravan Park www.getoutwiththekids.co.uk/places/campsite/the-green-caravan-park

Yeah. It’s nice. More like a real bed.

No problems with it. The extra space is useful for backpacking. And at around £200, you can't go wrong really. 👍 I notice the current model of this is a different colour. Not sure if anything else has changed www.robens.de/en-gb/shop/outdoor-tents/pioneer-3ex.

Give in Denmark. It’s the HQ and they have everything out on display for retailers and invited press. I’ve noticed some retailers videos filmed there now too.

Wow! 😀 Yes, it might feel a little cramped. The inner tent is 210 cm. Sleeping at a slight angle could give you more space. Alternatively, the three man tent offers a little more space at 215 cm deep. www.easycamp.com/en-gb/webshop/camping-tents/bikepacking-tents/vega-300-compact

Or there’s a third choice www.outwell.com/en-gb/ecommerce/camping-furniture/padres-kitchen-table-w-side-unit

There’s also the Drayton too www.outwell.com/en-gb/ecommerce/camping-furniture/drayton-kitchen-table

I think you summed it up though. If you are looking for one unit and don’t have other table space then the double (or the one with the side table) will be more practical.

@@GetoutwiththekidsCoUk We have visited the local camping show with hundreds of camping items on the display. I have seen the Padres XL, Double, but also Magante. Magante is nice, sturdy, with lots of features, and storage, but a bit heavy on packing (car storage cca 1x1m). With the Padres Double we are heading towards, I got negatively surprised though, that the table was not flat. The middle (connection) section was a bit higher. It was either broken, or inproperly setup. Still, from all those options, the Padres Double is a nice compromise - storage, weight, packing size.

Glad you found the right one for you 👍

You just get some paper lanterns that you can hang over a string of outdoor lights. Here’s an example of some on amazon amzn.to/4bzGIKs

I know you asked Gav but if it’s of any interest we use an Icey Tek 40ltr cooler with two of their large ice packs and it’s worked well for us. Tend to put some frozen foods in the box such frozen chicken, bacon etc as well some unfrozen food that will get myself and other half through a week. One of the reasons we did it was not necessarily because we were off grid but because the compressor noise of the fridge turning on and off through the night was quite disturbing, even if we have an EHU we still use the Icey Tek and will alternate the ice blocks if there is a campsite freezer.

If it’s a quick camp then ice packs in a cool bag. Some campsites have freezers. Otherwise it’s an Outwell ECO Lux if we are on an electric hook up.

Thx ppl

Kamloops isn’t adjustable. That’s why you can put 80 kg on him compared to the adjustable Outwell Custer who can only carry 30 kg.

@@Doxakne I have just looked on Outwell website and it has adjustable feet, I have edited my post as it said legs I should have been more specific it now says feet. This is still an excellent feature as of course all camp grounds are perfectly level 😀

Thanks. We’re just testing this tent now so will have a more detailed video on that tent soon.

Yeah, they just finished the at the end of last year. They've put a lot of work into the place over the years, including re-doing the pitches to improve drainage.

Unfortunately, there's actually a big problem in reverse, with many look-a-likes being created in various factories, but to a lesser quality (thinner/wrong material, details missed). Sometimes you have to get your hands on with some items to feel the difference with more solid materials and better precision engineering. 😀 I've seen photos from the Robens designers taking prototypes on expeditions into the wilds of Northern Scandinavia so that they can test and refine designs. The products are designed by real campers that are very passionate about their products, and can talk in great detail as to why a feature was designed in such a way. So it's always disappointing when cheaper fakes appear, which typically miss the whole point of why something was designed in such a way.

@@GetoutwiththekidsCoUk I have a lot of Robens gear, two tents, chairs,table, camp kitchen (which was an excellent design) Base camp sleeping bags, cookery king and it’s all been excellent. The cookery king has the unique feature of the lower wind shied base being removable so and gas stove that can be used as long it’s dimensions don’t exceed the diameter of the base. On the Chinese websites an almost identical stove can be bought without the unique feature, which came first I wonder. Anyway I think Robens is a very good brand and their tent wind testing is very reassuring.

Our pleasure!

Yeah it's a great looking tent. I can't wait to test it out for real. Not too long now I hope (weather has been terrible for filming it!)

@@GetoutwiththekidsCoUk fingers crossed for good weather 🤞 Love your channel 👍

Hello Peter. Yes, I’m hoping to get one and put it to the test, and will of course, publish a detailed video on it 😊

Thanks help a lot! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe with Love to freedom,
