The tent company while being slow have been great to deal with. The freight company on the other hand are easly the worst I have ever delt with.

The link I posted is he one I used. Orginise your own freight however as the freight company is as dodgy as fuck.

Fucking fuck ttwo hours later and I have packed it up. No instuctions to put it together. Still dont know whatthose bungee cord things are for yet.... here are some pics.    Just dont have the rear stays on in that pic and the ladder isnt bolted on Not bad quality but on mine one set of zips for the side window is on the outside so you have to outside the tent to open the flyscreen. The other side is okay. Mr chinky man can use a sewing machine okay but they should drill the holes the right size rather than using an 10 mm drll bit and giving you 6 mm bolts

that looks alright, different style of ladder to mine.
the bungy cords are to clip onto the little rings inside the tent on the sides near the poles to assist when closing it so the tent material doesn't bellow out when folding.

TZAR yours is a lot brighter inside than mine is...ha ha
Bloody Chinese, Shep you know how I asked for mine to be an olive colour, I meant olive GREEN........guess what..... olives come in two colours...... they made mine black..... ha ha ha....
Good thing I camp in winter and usually park in shade, anyway I can now sleep in late because it is like a dark cave inside mine.
They look good Shep, the material is a bit different than what I thought it would be, the ladder is also different to the ARB ones but the cover is a better design than my mates ARB cover, these have a sail type track all around the base where a borber connects and this border then completely zips the cover on with an overlap for waterproofing. The matress is good high density stuff and the size and design allows me to bolt it on so that it folds to the left, right or rear.
Awesome for the price mate, I am glad I got in on this, do we owe any more cash for customs.

Yeah sorry mate no pic at the moment, it folded up and in the shed, I wont get back to it for a couple of weeks, heading off in the morning.
Olive green would have been nice, oh well at least we got them and didn't get ripped off by some dodgy offshore company.

The freight company were a pack of dodgy pricks and I had to pay a extra $1006 for customs and other charges. So the tents ended up costing $359 + $143 So they were 502 in total so not as awesom as I hoped.

Yeah mate. The people that got them up here are like me and didn't care cos the will just be red dirt colourd after one trip anyway. If you don't like the colour of yours then swap it with one of the others.
