    I've got this tent and I love it. It is so easy to set up.

    Perfect for touring, I have the same, on the Simpson trip with daily set up and pack up Winnie and I were ready to roll out of camp or sit back and watch everyone else.

    Meh,we did wake up with water in in the other weekend but mate it p!ssed down non stop(meetup),we weren't wet but it did get in..so yeah reasonably weather proof..we use this set up quite often rather than drag the camper trailer around.but that to depends on the situation..ours all gets put ion a bag no bigger than a sleeping bag after many times used to so that's a plus.

    Tent up and down in under 5 mins. Can't complain! It takes me less time to set up my tent than it does when I swag trip because I set the swag up on a stretcher under my awning.

    Don't understand the point to an awning tent, same setup time as a touring or oztrail, awnings are heavy so you still have the weight on your roof, can't setup and leave camp in the car and you loose the purpose of having an awning in the first place, weather protection.

    Some may say well what's the point in a swag or a camper or caravan or RV etc...... Each have their purpose and it's all about choice

    Choice ? Or just doing something different to be different?
    There is a good reason why some things are popular , they just work!
