Tucana Tent

We love this tent. We have used it twice now and it is hugely spacious as even though there are only two of us, we wanted space for a king sized inflatable mattress. Space for an inflatable sofa and indoor dining in poor weather and the dogs crate. It fulfills our needs perfectly. We went for the double door as we plan to use in the south of France in the future and want to enable as much daytime ventilation as possible. On reflection, that probably wasn’t necessary. We camped in 30c UK heat this summer and found opening the canvas door at the front with all the side vents open kept air circulating. Even though we had now shade from trees, it never got stifling. Also, condensation is a non-issue unlike more modern style tents. A couple of words of warning: 1. Double door is differently dimensioned from the single door version so is more rectangular. No rounded carpets are needed. Not will the normal Toscana inner bedroom fit the double door. 2. This thing weighs a ton. Even with a free trolley, I couldn’t lift the bag off the pallet without removing the tent pegs and poles out of the bag first. Once done, even a weakling like me can just about lift it into an SUV boot. Finally, it does take a bit longer to dry out. We haven’t tested it in a storm but leaving site at 9am we still had a lot of dew on it and it took around 4 hours in the sun to fully dry it out afterwards when we were home. All in all, we absolutely love it. It takes one person to set up but two who have a system can get it up in 20mins easily and probably a lot less.

Fantastic, spacious, super easy to put up!
