Outdoor Connection Brampton Questions & Answers

Hi Sheryl, certainly with the Brampton the room separating screens are not see through. We leave them half zipped (from top to bottom) as half room dividers and roll the unzipped portion vertically (use large plastic pegs to secure) for easy access between rooms. Hope this helps, certainly a great tent!

Hi Sheryl, as Dan mentioned the room dividers have the mesh and the privacy screens plus the windows and doors have mesh plus privacy screens. The privacy screens can be rolled away leaving the mesh in place or roll away both on one go without separating them.
We have use our Brampton tents many times since my first review and it’s fantastic. Bucket loads of room and very water proof. Easy to put up for such a big tent. 2 people are needed. We now have the basic set up completed in 20 mins with just the fly sheet pegs to push in. Hope this helps. Breezer.

Hi SarahT
The bottom of the mesh for the windows/doors is approx. 6 inch above the ground. On our last trip we left the no see me cover open and dust did enter the tent. However the no see me cover can be opened at the top only preventing the dust coming into the actual tent. The top of the no see me cover is approx 1.8 m high and I suspect it would have to be a strong wind to make it blow over the top and I tom the tent.
Hope this helps.
Breezer.

Hi there. Yes the Brampton has mosquito net dividers for each room. The floor is heavy duty weave. That was one of our key reasons for buying the Brampton, because of the quality of the floor vs the others at that time.
We had our Brampton set up during the wettest period seen in over 20 years of measurements at Tweed heads NSW and felt what I'd describe as only very very slight 'condensation' underfoot after a full week of solid rain (no exaggeration it did not stop raining at all. It did not leak at any point.. I'd suggest you call Outdoor Connection directly for your local distributor/s as they may know which one has this tent set up for viewing..

Do not know of a Victorian stockist who has this tent set up, perhaps you could ring Outdoor Connection, they may know of someone. The Brampton tent has midge proof mosquito netting on internal doorways, as well as all external openings. There are also privacy screens on internal doorways. The OC website will have specs for flooring, but from memory 14 x 14 denier polyethalyne. Have never had a complaint on this tent for leaking floors. An all round great tent, roomy, airy and very easy to construct.

The bedroom size is 2 meters x 280 wide. So you could comfortably fit a queen mattress (150 wide), or you could also put a single alongside (70cms).It will really depend on the size of your bedding.

I would say comfortably 3. We have a double bed in ours there's enough room for a single down the side..

I can't compare the two as I haven't had any experience with the Coleman. However all I can say is that the Brampton has served our family very well. And more importantly its after sales support has been fantastic.

Don't buy the Coleman! We bought our Northstar 10P just under 3 years ago. My husband and I are experienced campers and go camping 6-7 times per year. At around the 18 month mark Coleman replaced the tent due to faulty poles. After using the 2nd tent 3 times the zipper stitching came away from the main binding. While this tent is relatively new Coleman are refusing to help us in fixing this, as the 2 year warranty has expired. For an $800 tent this is terrible quality and terrible customer support from Coleman.
I recommend you consider an alternative.

I have no experience with the single room tent, but haven't had an issue with dampness at all with the Brampton, or the Bedarra . We had to buy a new tent after a tree fell on the first one after a storm!!! We chose another Outdoor Connection tent after a lot of looking but finding nothing better. We bought the side awnings at the same time for $25.00 each. Can't remember but they may have been on special.

Just wondering also, how you found them to put up, ie, the pole system?
