Skandika Nimbus Family Group Hybrid Design Family Tunnel Tent, 3 Sleeping Rooms, Moveable Front Wall, 200 cm Peak Height,12-Person/Large

We were five people using it, and had loads of space, but the tent could comfortably take eight. Expecting to have to remain inside the tent during wet weather, we had decided to opt for one that would give maximum living space. This Skandika Nimbus 12 man tent was perfect. The main living space is easily big enough for tall people to stand up without brushing their heads against the roof, and it feels roomy. But if you want even more living space, the front door panel can move forward by one zip to encompass the front porch area too.The four bedroom 'pods' are a good size. Each one fits three people at a squeeze, or two very comfortably. We used three as bedrooms and the fourth as a walk-in store room. We particularly liked the design of the front porch, as, being sloped, it won't collect rain on the roof like some 'square flap and two tent poles' porches. And it was the perfect place to store boots and shoes, thus keeping the main living space dirt free.The tent is light for its size, and not difficult to put up. Do remember, however, to attach the four corners of the central roof window to their hooks BEFORE you put the tent up, and feed the tent poles through the loops at the roof centre. This isn't mentioned in the instructions (which are few). We loved using the tent, and would definitely recommend it.

So my original review is below… my update is that it has lasted 9 years which is fine. The tent has now ripped but that was on a trip my older boys went on, and with every tent, if you don’t get the tension right they will break. So after 9 years I have no complaints (apart from being a bit noisy to walk on) - has been heavily used.We are reasonably experienced campers - our last tent (an Outwell) ran out of steam after about 30 trips, and I was cautious about a Skandia not having heard of the brand before....but glad i bought it.On the positive side - tent is massive, tonnes of room even when pouring with rain you can easily have 8 people sat down eating inside, love the separated rooms, the fact that the front 'wall' of the tent can be moved back to the inside of the tent is also a great plus. I wouldn't worry about the rather brief instructions - if you have put up a tent before it is fairly straight forward - we got it up in under an hour - 1 adult and kids on a windy day - just don't forget to put the dark blue flap on the top (which we missed at first until the rain poured).On the less positive side - the elastic in the poles is poor quality - one has gone already. Not the end of the world, but annoying non the less. The ground sheet is silver which isn't a great colour for covering the dirt. Not wholly confident this will last as long as the Outwell tent did either...All in all - would recommend though. Simple to put up and put away. Loads of space. Does what it says on the tin. Only lost 1 star because of the tent pole elastic breaking on the first trip.

Have used this tent twice since purchase, its easy to put up once you have sussed out how to do it as the instructions are useless. Its a very large tent that could accommodate 8 adults max. I could park my car in this tent! Be aware this tent is 8m x 7m so some campsites will not allow this size tent in peak season, check with campsite first.

Ok Good size tent, Housed me, my wife and 2x GSD Dogs, Planty of room for Pub Garden Tables (x2) and a wheelchair. That gives it the 1 star. Bad Points of the tent are. Ground Sheet not sown in so in wind and rain ground gets wet inside tent, no insect net on main door so it gets over run with mossies and flies etc. There are also several leak points where ran water seaps through.We ordered back in December so unable to return it.This tent has been tested in Scotland in July to august 2018 and if i was to recommend a tent i would suggest a Tunnel tent over this one.Camping in the UK June to July where it is sun and heat it would be ideal but not recommended in rainy areas.

The tent was fairly easy to put up, took two adults and a teenager around 40 minutes first time round. The tent looks lovely, and is extremely spacious; however, it only lasted us 12 hours. We pitched up last Friday in readiness for a week long camping holiday, but by 3.30 am, one of the poles snapped causing the entire tent to collapse in on us. We had to pack up and return home, I have contacted the manufacturer direct but we are extremely disappointed. I have been camping for years and never had this happen with any of the tents I have owned.

This tent is very spacious and excellent for a large family but was difficult to put in the wind instructions could do with being clearer and maybe a video demo would help. used only twice and was not suitable and some damaged caused in strong wind. But the company max -trader were excellent they sorted out my issues and gave me a full refund I would trust this company and thank them for the excellent customer service, even gave me a free gift a camp accessory.The tent is more than big enough for 12 people and still ample room option to have a porch or extend living area? Used it both ways and wax useful.Did like the tent just did not work for us or we were just unlucky with the wind.

We are a family of six and decided to buy something bigger. This is an excellent tent with loads of room for all of our stuff. It doesn't take long to put up with two working together. Packs away nicely afterwards. The only downside is no built in ground sheet but hey you get what you pay for. if you want unadulterated luxury stay in a hotel. If you want to enjoy the outdoors buy a tent.
