A Nice Tent

published

A good tent for a family holiday. Plenty of space and head room. Pretty easy to put up and take down; but if you want a tent that is fast to put up and take down this isn't it. Easier with some help though, and being tallish is a bonus. Plenty of pockets inside. The bag the tent comes in isn't strong enough and rips easily. Also the tent really needs to be split into 2 separate bags I think.

Needs a stonger bag. Should be maybe split into tow separate bags.

Hi, thanks for the offer. However I have already purchased two new bags for the tent that I am happy with. Cheers.

We brought a Brampton recently. I was sceptical spending $500 on a nylon dome tent, but I was wrong. Great tent. Easy to put up. Very spacious rooms. Near vertical walls mean the usage of the floor area is maximised.

Ventilation in the heat of the day is easy with the walls of the fly able to be unzipped and lifted on poles. Conversely, a simpler solution is to open the huge windows. Liberal application of no-see-um mesh is welcome to keep those nasty sand flies at bay.

Don't be put off by the brand. If you are thinking of a Coleman or Blackwolf, have a good look at the Brampton from Outdoor Connection. You will not be disappointed.
Quality materials, easy to erect, spacious.

Hi John,
We are considering purchasing this tent, but a little concerned about your comment re 'not the quickest tent to put up or take down'. Can you elaborate on this some more. please?

Looking at purchasing the Brampton or the Galaxy as a replacement for a 2 room Coleman (growing family). Was wondering if there are privacy screens that you cant see through separating each room rather than just mesh?

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.

We went camping over the Christmas break and had a little wind storm and awoke to find ourselves and our belongings covered in dust that had been blown up between the fly the the mesh... thus researching a new tent! can anybody tell me how high up the mesh windows sit up off the floor, and if the the fly flaps/billow out to allow the dust to fly up and in on the Brampton?

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.

We have the coleman montana gold series and after only 16 months the main zip has broken. We like the layout as the rooms dividers have mesh to keep the mosquitoes out of the bedrooms. My son is quite allergic to bites. Can you please advise if this tent has the same room dividers and what material the flooring is? The coleman has very tough flooring and we recently camped for 12 nights with no leaks. Rays outdoors are going to refund us as the tent is under warranty. Is there a Victorian stockist where we could see the tent set up?

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.
