I love your setup! Didn't even think about putting bench seats in the porch area. Thats a great idea! And after reading all the comments in your video it looks like I will be picking up the polycotton version of the anantara iv next year. Seems like it is well worth the price. Cheers.
Hi Thanks for sharing with us. We are a family of 6 and would like to buy one of these to replace a polyester tent. I was wondering how your holiday went, how did you find the set up and packing away. Also did you get lots of condensation? Sorry for so many questions 😊 Thanks
Hi, thanks for your comment, we haven’t had one drop of condensation and this is our second family holiday in this. Last year was raining this year has been red hot. Both were great. Our top tip is to watch attwols video on putting up and packing away and as long as u follow him u would find it easy. We have watched the video over and over and you find it so easy if you follow him. We had the rivendale before this and this week with it being hot have really noticed that it is so much cooler than polyester. I thought how could it be, but really have been able to get out of sun and not over heat, with the doors open. I wasn’t sure about the barn door at first but absolutely love being able to open it up wide or close us all off. Feel free to ask any more. Hoping to do another video on the tent and what it does while we away. 😊
How have you found putting it away after it's been raining as the tent really needs to be fully dry before packing away does it not more so than any polyester tent, if not mould can ruin the tent so easily. ?
Sorry another thing, how big was this in the bag to fit in the car boot compared to the Rivendale? And can I ask why did you swap for this when you had this one when you had the Rivendale as they are very very similar I'm size and design?
Hi, we found it to be warmer yes, obviously you are still camping but it did feel different. We had a leak in rivendale and they had no replacement so we had our money back and after more research we decided on changing to polycotton. Yes it was a bigger bag plus more rigid so did seem to take up more space most definitely, plus considerably heavier to put in and out of car. We did have a grand scenic so plenty of space but now have a mini clubman but we travel without the bag to save on space. We haven’t actually had to pack away in the rain yet but we are also very cautious of this near the end of season if we spot rain as you always have to think when can you get it back out to dry ready for winter. Hope this helped .
@@thegrahamsfamilyadventures6137 thank you for the reply. Yes that helps. So is it worth the swap? Was it a big big difference in the night at being warmer ? And is it alot cooler in the day in terms of keeping food in tent?
@@InfinityVideo1 my husband said it was definitely worth the swap. I feel the same, just felt more luxurious, less stuffy. It’s hard to remember now but I do remember saying when we first swapped how pleased we were that we had..

Yes definitely, we would love the anantara looks fab.
Yes did save some space.

How did you find the polycotton during the rain.
Seems fine. It doesn’t seem as loud, ,u husband says less tinny sounding. Stays warmer too. We love it
Was it warmer in the evening and night compared to the Rivendale?
