New tent for beginner
Hi guys
I am finally getting things ready to do some camping.
I have crockery (blik borde, bakkies en koppies) and cutlery.
3x camping chairs
1x fold-up table.
Sleeping bags as well as blow up mattress.
It is a start at least.
Now the big one
I am looking to buy a tent.
I have a budget of +-R4 000-00.
Can you please help me in making a good choice.
I have never camped before and know jack squat of setting up a campsite.
I literary have not got a clue as what is easy to set up or not.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: New tent for beginner

Lekkerding van die Coleman tent wat Checkers verkoop, jou vrou kan hom amper alleen opslaan, hy weeg amper niks en slaan regtig binne 5min op(once you've done it once)
Happy Camping. of as jy duur wil gaan, Outdoor warehouse of self Campingworld

Re: New tent for beginner
Ek is heel impress met die OZtrail nylon tente. Ek het een wat laas jaar die enigste een was wat bly staan het langs n dam naby Leandra. Toe ons hom aflslaan het een van die pale gebreek. Maar hy het nog gestaan. Die wind het tot n Canvas chopper tent op die grond neergesit. So ek was baie impress met die aussie tent.

Re: New tent for beginner
Kevin, I've just been doing some research for a semi decent family tent (three of us) and have narrowed the list down to two possibilities.
Have a look at these two - Oztrail Seascape 10 person & the Coleman Weathermaser 10.
I'm undecided between the two.

Re: New tent for beginner
Elke tent het sy voor en nadele.
Nylon tent is lig slaan vinnig op,vou klein op maar is weer nie so waterdig as n canvas wat weer swaarder en meer spasie neem op sy beurt.
My keuse is n 3x3 canvas dome tent

Re: New tent for beginner
Kevin, besluit heel eerste wat jy met jou tent gaan doen. Gaan jy net vir 'n aandjie weg, slaap een nag? 3m x 3m cheapie.
Langnaweek? Groter tent, vir as weer goor is, dan kan jy regop staan binne in en familie hulself besig hou sonder om heeltyd op matras te moet lê.
Dan kan jy vir jou 'n kombuisie binne opstel ens ens ens
As jy klein gaan, selfs met beter kwaliteit, sorg dat buiten die tent (wat dan net slaap plek is) jy iets het vir skaduwee/reën af hou. Dit is in fact belangriker as die tent self. As jy gemaklik is deur die dag slaap jy lekkerder in die nag...
Gooi weg die slaapsakke vir jou en jou vrou. Laat jou laaitie in syne slaap, hy sal dit kwaai like, maar gooi jou gewone beddegoed in. Kussings, duvet, die lot. Jy slaap baie lekkerder... Stoot matrasse teenmekaar, dan is dit vir mamma asof sy by die huis is, baie minder traumaties.
Glo my maar oor die skadu besigheid, of dit nou deel is van 'n groter tent of 'n aparte setup is met kombuis/kuier plek, dis baie belangrik, want dit is waar jy jouself geniet, en niks spoil 'n kampnaweek soos 'n rooi gebrande mamma, behalwe miskien 'n nat mamma.

As jy nou lekker wil slaap, kry die bed met opvou raamwerk, dan sit jy die dubbel opblaas matras op..

Re: New tent for beginner
3x3 dome canvas (as jy nie van kamp hou nie weet jy dat jy meeste van jou geld sal terug kry). Spons opvou matras, dit is net n kwessie van tyd voor die opblaas rubbish lek en jou in die middel van die nag op die grond los. Kry vir jou laaitie n slaapsak en vir jou en mamma n dubbel slaapsak, n mens cuddle baie lekkerder en dit vat nie die hele agterseat se plek op nie en boonop n mens kamp tog after all. Nog n bonus van n canvas tent is hy hou meer lig uit so die eerste sonstrale brand jou nie uit jou tent uit nie en die ergste reen storm gaan jou niks maak nie. Happy Camping.

Re: New tent for beginner
Hi Kevin..
I only ever buy things like this on Gumtree.. You can buy the best quality hardly used things for literally half the price new or even less.. You just have to be careful when going to see it and test all the zips, make sure all the pegs are there etc.. If the advert says used twice then it must look brand new.. no wear marks what so ever.. Never buy anything that doesn't look brand new. That way you are guaranteed it is still in great condition. This also allows you to buy good quality for a food price. If you buy a cheap one brand new and lose interest it will also have no resale value but good quality always has good resale.
I found this on Gumtree for you. 2.5x3.5m canvas tent for R2900.

Re: New tent for beginner
Good advice here....
Bottomline = different strokes for diff folks & you get what you pay for. Start minimal & work your way up as needs arise. Also look at how others are camping to get some tips.
What you could also do is borrow a tent or 2 from friends to see what works for YOU.
Personally I love the Canvas tents but they're too expensive.
I have a 360 deg nylon tent (10 person) works great for longer stays and crap weather. Setup takes 10 -15 minutes and fold up 20 min. I got it off my sister for R800 (they paid R1299 & used it once) equavilents now are about R3500, so it was a no-brainer at the time
Then I have a Malamoo Extra, superfast setup, somewhat diffucult fold up in the beginning but OK once you get used to it. We comfortably sleep 3 in it on overnight fishing trip.
With your budget (and if you're confident that you'll continue camping), I would buy a decent tent between R2k & 3k (or even 2 Malamoo's) ; use the rest to invest in a ground sheet and a fold up matress (or SINGLE stretchers), but that's just me

Re: New tent for beginner
Hi Kevin
There was someone on this forum selling a RV4 Oztent with sides and an awning.
The tent can be put up in 45 seconds...
The sides take another four or five minutes and then you have two rooms and an awning over the front...
they cost a little more, but are really good tents.
The problem is only that it is long and cylindrical, but will fit easily on the Lux roofrack & canopy.

There is nothing wrong with trying the tent from Thys and when you decide on what you and your family like about the camping, then you can make the decision on how much you wish to spend on your new lifestyl...
Good luck with your decision...

Re: New tent for beginner
Kry vir jou n easy pitch gazebo met kante en n 3x6 grondseil, dan sit jy jou tafel en stoele daar as jou kombuis/kuier area. As jy vir n tydjie op een plek is, kan jy ook een van daai 2x6 wind afskortings oorweeg, veral as bietjie wind opsteek, om jou gazebo met kante te beskerm. Ek het my gazebo by makro gekoop daar is drie verskillendes het die middel een gevat (campmaster)en twee kante dink dit was R2000 vir alles. Kry ook n lekker lamp of twee. Volgende stap is dan n lekker yskas, die goed is duur. Het laas n kamptrailer met alles in gehuur vir R300 n dag om dit uit te toets en mamma was gelukkig.

Re: New tent for beginner
Sal so maak, Kevin, gee net kans dat ek hom afhaal van die dek af in die garage...
Daai easy-pitch gazebos van Makro werk net binnenshuis... Sodra die wind opkom of dit reen dan breek hulle.. Ons het al 2 van hulle so verloor..
Spandeer eerder 'n paar rand meer en koop een van die:
hulle kan nogals wind vat.. myne in my agterplaas staan al meer as 'n jaar lank en hy het nog nie weggewaai nie...

Re: New tent for beginner
Thys gee bici meer info asb. Watse gazebo is daai? Het ok al twee vd ander verloor (of tweede het almn knak in). Dankie.ThysdJ wrote:Sal so maak, Kevin, gee net kans dat ek hom afhaal van die dek af in die garage...
Daai easy-pitch gazebos van Makro werk net binnenshuis... Sodra die wind opkom of dit reen dan breek hulle.. Ons het al 2 van hulle so verloor..
Spandeer eerder 'n paar rand meer en koop een van die:
hulle kan nogals wind vat.. myne in my agterplaas staan al meer as 'n jaar lank en hy het nog nie weggewaai nie...
En groot thumbs up vir jou om n aspirerende kampeerder so aan diengang te sit!!! Great om te weet daar is nog goeie mense daar buite wat net help en niks terugsoek. Salute!!

Howling moon het ook lekker gazebo's. Het Des R1700 betaal vir een, nie canvas nie maar van tent materiaal. Hanteer wind en reen goed

Re: New tent for beginner
Thys ek hoor jou, myne het in n kamp vir vier dae gestaan, met swaar wind wat middae gewaai het en geen probleem nie, jy moet net die ekstra tou ankers gebruik en dit stewig vas maak . As jy die sykante opsit , gaan enige gazebo bars, daarom dat ek die wind afskortings aanbeveel. Die ene wat ek het, het die dikker pale werk lekker sover.ThysdJ wrote:Sal so maak, Kevin, gee net kans dat ek hom afhaal van die dek af in die garage...

Re: New tent for beginner
My Camp master gazebo hou ook nou al jare. Jy moet hom net vasmaak met straps wat jy bo oor die gazebo gooi wat die hele strukteer vastrek.
Ek sal weer een koop want ek kan hom alleen opslaan.
Ek het myne ook ekstra gaaitjies in die bene geboor om hom bietjie laer te maak vir beter wind weerstand.
Dan natuurlik moet nie die magtige seil vergeet nie. Om gewig te spaar het ek vir 3 maande deur afrika getoer met 'n seil en 2 paaltjies

The best gazebo we have ever had and still has is the campmor senior canvas from outdoor warehouse similar to the picture from Thys. It has been doing duty as mr bakkie's garage for the past year and a half without once complaining about wind, rain or hail

Re: New tent for beginner
Die gazebo in daai prentjie van my is 'n BushTec Rhino Gazebo (http://www.takealot.com/bushtec-gold-ra ... ID32791655). Ek het nou 'n 5mx3m een gekoop vir Team Offroad. Die pryse is nie te dronk nie, en al die zips en goed is klaar vasgewerk vir die sykante, wat jy ekstra moet bykoop... Gerrie het hom laasnaweek gaan toets, en volgens hom slaan hy binne 10 minute op.. Daar is ander wat presies dieselfde werk, en net so goed is, shop maar rond vir die beste pryse. Ons het as deel van ons kamp setup ook 'n 3mx3m Howling Moon wat met 'n extension aan ons dome tent vaskom, heeltemal wind en waterdig...
Hier is wat oorgebly het van ons laaste quick-erect gazebo by Augrabies toe dit bietjie gereen het. Hy het oor nag water geskep, en toe collapse die hele besigheid..
Die tent wat ek vir Kevin gee is ons vorige dome tent. Om mee te begin was dit 'n R500 Makro tent, en ons gaan hom glad nie meer gebruik nie, ek gee hom eerder vir iemand wat dit nodig het as wat ek dit weggooi, of die moeite en tyd spandeer om dit op Gumtree te adverteer, en myself oopstel vir allerhande rampokkers....
Serious reen naweek... en ons het droog geslaap...
Dit was juis 'n oefening om ons kamp toerusting te gaan "weather test".. Julle kan meer lees oor daai trippie hier: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=30267&hilit=riemvasmaak&start=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: New tent for beginner
Baie dankie oom Thys
Ek het toe sommer gister aand al die tent opgeslaan
Nie so moeilik soos ek gedink het nie, maar moet net n paar pointers by oom
kry oor die regte manier, nie my manier nie

Kyk of enige stretchers of opblaas matrasse of watookal in die tent pas. ñ Vriend van my het nou op ñ weskus trip besef sy stretcher pas nie in sy tent nie! Dan is dit bietjie laat om plan te maak....

Hi Jaco.
Dankie vir advies. My op blaas matras sal maklik daarin pas, dis baie grooter as wat ek gedink het.
EN SWAMBO is mal oor hom
