I have used my cot tent this weekend and found it a brilliant experience. I was playing in a polo match down at Tidworth (not all polo players are rich and can afford hotels) and the cot bed is a perfect solution for over night stays anywhere. I camped on the car park at Tidworth Polo club and the cot tent brought enquiries from a lot of friends and passers by and was teemed a wonderful idea by lots of those who stopped to look (including a lot of my army friends). I look forward to my next weekend away in it. The concept of the cot-tent is brilliant and it needs to be shown at camping shows and country shows I know it would be a real hit. - Richard

We bought the cot tent for an overland trip as our daughter has grown too big to share our roof tent. The cot tent is an excellent package coming with the water proof cover, under bed bag (great for shoes etc) and storage bag. It is very easy to put up taking a matter of seconds (always a bonus when the weather is poor, or it is the middle of the night in some truck stop in France, as I found out on the way home) with no crawling around on your knees putting pegs in or attaching inner liners etc like a traditional tent. Sleeping off the ground in the tent is very comfortable and the addition of a cheap roll mat makes it as comfortable as our roof tent. Packing the tent away takes very little time or effort unlike a ground tent, or roof tent. Prior to the trip we put the tent up in our daughters room and she promptly moved in and only reluctantly gave up "squatters rights" when we needed to pack. Her comments are "I like it because it is easy to pack and super comfy... better than my bed". Having bought a roof tent (the great answer to overland travel) and used the cot tent, I wish that I had seen these cot tents prior to spending far more money on the roof tent package. The cot tent would allow use of the vehicle without the need to fully break camp, but still retaining the benefits of sleeping off the ground and the speed of unpacking etc. The cot tents are a great product that allow camping with that little bit of luxury without all the problems of traditional ground tents or the expense of roof tents. I really wish that I had seen these before buying a roof tent... one roof tent for sale! - Nick
