i have always been happy with my campmaster tents holds well in rain and that but wind can be a problem if you have not set the tent up properly
As said by the guys above -- good tent
BUT -- not a tent for the wind
--- not a tent to handle as roughly as a canvas tent
--- Not to be used very often, more like a once or twice a year tent
Handle with care.
Then again for the price its worth it definitely.
If its going to be a long term investment rather buy a canvas tent now and it will last a long time.

Just as Simen says, no wind.
This is a campmaster tent that was a bit in the way of the elements at Bloemhof dam. Philip's sleeping bag was rinsed out of the tent as well as a white towl (only a loving wife would pack a white towl on a fishing trip) amongst other things. The towl enced up a nice shakey colour :-D
At least all the tent parts were still there. We were up in the Vetrivier waiting the storm out before we could head back because that strip of water can become seriously ugly in a storm...
Another such an experience was at Jozini. The tents ended up looking like a squatters camp as we had to fix it up each night we got back. We left just as management was going to complain about the rags we camped with :-D
I hate bloody tents ;-D
Oh yes, Billy, also at Bloemhof, thought his beer box was loaded enough to keep his tent anchored. He ended up running after ithat dome tent through the camp site as the wind rolled it through there, trying to catch it. It was really funny. Lesson learned - bring more beer (and tie the tent down ;-)

Have the large campmaster and it works a treat. Caught in huge storm at Bhanga Neck, Kosi bay, No water inside tent and howling winds. Its the one that looks like a house rather than the dome one. Has plenty of straps.
Alos have a small popup campmaster for the quick overnight trip. Works great but not good in rain ....
One thing to note with a canvass tent, If its wet when you pack up, you will have to unpack the tent else it will rot.

Hier is foto van die wind skerm waarna ek verwys.
Onthou net om die gemors reguit penne, wat julle saam kry, te vervang met L tipe gewone tent penne.
My oorspronlike wind skerm is 15 m he-seem (wat hul sakke van maak) Dit gebruik ek vandag nog saam my nuwerwetse wind skerms.
As jy enige plek by Namibia kus kamp . Onthou om ook vir Oos wind voorsiening te maak.Anders eindig jou kamp soos ons se kamp in 2001 . Wat gelyk het of tornado daar verby is ,na 10 min goeie Oos wind !!!
