OT: Tents at LROI shows

Hello. Question. I'm trying to find details of a company that has been at the East of England showground the last two years.



They were selling a very nice range of large tents made from heavy polymer impregnated ripstop nylon material. The tents might have been South Africa, I can't really remember. The one I'm interested in was square based with a central pole and tall enough to standup in.



They also sold Australien hats, cast iron cooking pots and other camping gear. One of the girls on the stand was pretty good looking, that might help activate the memory cells.



Cheers for any help. David.


Nobody remember? Think harder!

I like the addition to your post. I am sorry that I cannot help directly since I have never been to the show but I would have thought that you could contact Keeley Harris, Trade Stands Manager on 01733 234451 or email: snipped-for-privacy@eastofengland.org.uk. She should be able to help.

I know the stand as I bought a knife from the stand and had a good look at the tent with the stove in, but I can't remeber the name. Sorry

Tony,

Thanks very much Nigel, those are them. Top of their webpage, pots/hats/tents, just like I remembered. It was the safari that i liked the look of. 3 man, standing room, no central pole - I remembered wrong, £495.01(including VAT and delivery). Are there alternatives to these available in the UK. I was very impressed by the ripstop nylon material and build quality.

Thanks angain for the helpful suggestions. DavidM

How about Land Rover's tents......

LRO1411 4-Man Tent - Includes compressor a snip at £468.82 inc VAT or LRO1412 6-Man Tent - Includes compressor a snip at £586.32 inc VAT

Richard (with a straight face, honest)

I was looking at the one at Peterborough last year. I've always liked the idea of inflatable tents, but for the money, could get a 60' x 20' inflatable polytunnel in white heavy duty ripstop poly... big enough to get several 101s in (which was originally going to be my idea for a club stand tent... then I looked at the packed size and weight...)

Still fancy the tent idea Martin ??

Are there any photos of these inflatable tents? What shape are they?
