Skandika tent Milano 10, blue, 700x340 cm (equipment)

Customer Review

We were looking for a tent with plenty of space, which has a reasonable headroom.
It should be protected from all sides Waterproof and against mosquitoes.
Inside cabins should be available and protected from mosquitoes.
It should be well ventilated.
We want to be definitely in the tent and in the sleeping compartment.
A reasonable price for money should it have.

So we have come to the Milano 10 of Skandika.

We bought it in 2011 and had it once in use.
We were in the summer of 2011 at the Baltic Sea, storms with extreme rain and extreme wind gusts.

per / positive

- Fixed sewn bottom.
- Mosquito net at all entrances.
- All inputs can be closed only with the flyscreen or completely either. Both are separately lockable.
- Mosquito net on both cabin entrances.
- The sleeping cabins are a total, protected against the ingress of mosquitoes and Co. by mosquito nets.
- We had one each grommet at the side entrances (total 2). This can not be seen in the pictures, therefore we do not know from which at every Milano 10 is so.
- Organizer pockets.
- The tent has many vents, which are also provided with mosquito nets and thus also prevent the entry of mosquitoes and Co..
- Is the tent well exhausted, are wind and squalls no problem.
- The two sleeping cabins can be ever again divide. In the resulting two larger cabins fits in into an air bed of 2mx1,8m and the smaller one each 1m wide airbed.
- Loops for attaching cables to the means owls and a lamp in the middle of the tent ceiling.
- A good headroom inside the tent and in the sleeping cabins.
- Fire retardant material (. As a safety Camper, one always has a fire extinguisher Who has ever seen a burning tent, knows why fire retardant material inhibits but does not prevent entirely..). We do not cook with an open flame in a tent!
- Both sleeping cabins can be mounted individually. If you only need a sleeping compartment, the housing increased considerably, since one second cabin not mount / needs to build with. The living area then grows from 2.5mx 3.4m (8.5 square meters) in 4,7m x 3,4m, so equipped 16 square meters.

neutral

- Suitable for 10 persons. As with all other well exaggerated.
2-6 adults, while 2 couples and 2 single are possible
or 2 couples with 1-2 children (depending on age)
or 1 couple with up to 4 children is quite possible.
Everything else is Gruppenkuscheln in Cannery Row Style!
- One needs in this tent according to its size and a larger installation location. This should be kept in mind.
- A small flaw is that there is a risk in the size of the tent while building that seated at the Baden Plane / floor pan, on all four corners guylines demolish or. Especially if you are not the tent abspannt before installing!
The guylines of Baden Plane / drip tray are not keeping my view and experience, for being considered the tent! I bind yes my car is not on a slope with a piece of string to a tree firmly so that it does not roll away.
To this end, a key TIP:
The Baden Plane / drip tray should not be placed at the building under full tension. The bracings are much more important center and bottom, these bear the brunt of the tent. The bottom flaps are as the fixation and ease tension the groundsheet (This should be done at the end!)! Especially in windy conditions, these are not suitable in my opinion and experience, to keep the tent! But must be secured for the construction on the ground.
It makes sense to rig the tent on the side from which the wind comes is to nasty surprises (The tent flies bloated over the place and causing injury to persons and damage!) To prevent.
- The cabin screens in the cabins are not completely opaque on the sides of the enclosure. This should be aware, when you are traveling with more and want to have your privacy protected 100 percent.

contrasting / negative

- The supplied pegs (pegs) are not sufficient and stable enough. These are rather brads as correct pegs (pegs).
Not enough there are actually getting. I would recommend anyone who experienced of you will agree with me there, always guy ropes and pegs (pegs), special storm Suitable to buy in different lengths and pack up with.
- From eingener experience, one the inputs can not be open without being purely partly cloudy with heavy rain.
- The covered entrance with side shields, which protrudes, has in my view disadvantages and is unnecessary in this form:
1. The entrance is so low that you have to bend right to get into the tent.
2. If the construction space is not 100 percent plan, the tent provides. Is for the tent to be of no importance, but for this input. The input can not be well aligned and symmetrically aligned, which affects as follows:
a. The output does not open well or closed, the zipper is often jammed.
b. The mosquito nets inside sitting on voltage and can not also open well or closed. The zipper often jammed.
There is a danger that the screen door tear.
- The assembly instructions are very meager. Luckily all linkages for the five pillars are the same so you can not really go wrong. A short linkage is in the process which is required for the input to the side guard. The sleeping cabins are hooked into eyelets. There is a red eye in the center and accordingly marked in red Einhänger at the cabin. Catch it, so in the middle and work your way outward. On groundsheet are eyelets for anchoring the cabin per cabin. The pictures on the instructions and the text actually explain the rest. It does not matter which cabin you hanging up on which side, there are both the same.
- Lack of windows! As already mentioned you have worn during heavy rain the tent. Thus, there is virtually no outside view. Quasi, because it is what is not visible in the pictures in the door of the entrance is, with side shields a small window. This even has his privacy, which you can close. Only whom you sit in the tent, one actually has therefore no view. It is poorly visible. It already is very small and is, as it stands at a steep angle even smaller. The flyscreen this input is also in between. As the window film is in addition also still slightly wrinkled, this window is as superfluous as a fountain standing beside a Trinkwassersee.
- We had one each grommet with inputs (total of 2). This can not be seen in the pictures, therefore we do not know from which at every Milano 10 is so.
In any case, the overlaps which were actually planned for it to avoid water penetration were not impregnated. So there was a leak while raining inside the tent. Definitely a Monday tent, was probably simply forgotten by the manufacturer was impregnate. We do not believe that this is a series fault. The penetrating amount of water had to cope with, but very annoying.
On the plus side is this, that the tent was 100 percent otherwise waterproof!
Complaints from Amazon, as always Top Customer !!!!! For an A +++++

For less experienced campers should be said

If possible, always build with the wind. In no case against the wind. The tent is so great that the tent can inflate within seconds at open inputs like a balloon and pick up one of his feet. The side surfaces are so large that they can behave like sails. So the more windy it is, the more people and Safety tensioning needed one. This you should take into account in any case. A tent flying over the camp can do good property and personal injury. If you can include in a liability insurance, if that is not included in his.
I will make you not afraid only warn of possible danger and trouble.
The tent can be good building. It takes two to three people.
Recommended is always a new tent in front of the vacation home build again. So looking to how to do it, whether it is intact and complete. Even if you still need things such as better soil nails, a stepladder, etc.!

Conclusion / Closing Remarks

The price-performance ratio is right. Despite the leaky cable glands with us we think it is a good tent.
For us, an entrance to the side shields, the missing window and you can let the inputs are not always open was crucial to look around for another tent.
The tent was well made, offers great space and is suitable for families!
If you can live with the inputs and the mini window, I consider it advisable.
The bottom line is, we can only give 3 instead of 4 stars, because of the leaky cable glands, unfortunately.
