Does anyone have any experience of Lichfield Tents ?

We was in the garden yesterday and had erected our Coleman Colorado and was having a practice fit of our newly aquired porch awning.

Our neighbour is getting into camping and is on a budget,she said she had seen a tent in Argos like ours,a Lichfield Mohawk.

I must admit it is the same design has the Coleman and the Coleman ticks all our boxes and is the tent we use for most of our camping but am reluctant to advice her to buy it having no knowledge of Lichfield.

I have never used a Litchfield tent But I know of a person who has and they have never had a problem.

so unil the tent lets her down then its got to be good, just check all the usual and test the seams for water tightness before you go away using the hose in the garden.

Hi Surfin
Litchfield have been making tents for a long time now,as you say they are at the cheaper end of the market, but I personally have not herd bad reports about the litchfield, for two season use and good advice I would say your neighbor should be able to have some good holidays in a lichfield,
Follow Daisy advice about a home test run for seam leaks and that all the bits are there. and she should be fine.Make sure she changes her Pegs from the issue wire ones especially for her guy ropes

and advise her to buy the best sleeping bags she can afford
and good insulation under the inflatable air bed even in summer it can get cold on clear nights.
Wish her look from me.

Under the beds I use the laminate floor insulation/ underlay foam stuff its really nice to sit on too

Never had a Lichfield , but could'nt help but notice it looks the same as the Gelert Lakesbury 5 http://www.caseyscamping.com/acatalog/i ... bury5.html

Perhaps your neighbours could lookout for that at any tent display which would give them an idea of size /space


Lichfield are part of the AMG group , along with Vango and Force ten tents , so they can't be all bad . http://www.amg-group.co.uk/

More info on the Mohawk on Lichfields website http://www.lichfield-outdoor.co.uk/prod ... odelid=170


Looks great value , I'm tempted myself , but Ange would have my guts for garters , if I bought another tent , lol

Thanx for the advice everyone :D

Was talking to them yesterday tea time and they are a nice young couple with two lovely kids and i just know they are going to enjoy camping.

I have given them a lot of stuff we have replaced or no longer use such has airbeds , bags , cooker and other odds and ends.

Will give them the thumbs up and also to give it a good go under the hosepipe.

Surfin, why not give them this web address and they can join in with us as a group and not be sat aloe at a campsite.
plus other kids to play games with and friendly adults to share fun chats help and advice.

They dont have the internet DaisyBev.

Ah but they may do in the future if they have little uns,
Or you could invite them to a meet with yourselves everyone is welcome.
what area are you in?

Will mention it to them.We are in South Yorkshire.

hi there
our first tent was a lichfield no problams at all with it
only reason we got rid was because a fox ripped it all to get to some chicken bones whilst up in the lakes
