It is poled with a porch design and will attach to the side of vans with an attachment height of between 175 and 200 cm making it ideal for the VW style camper van market. The highly waterproof Outtex 3000 Select Flysheet has a pole sleeve and clips to secure the Aluflex System of pre-bent aluminium poles, making it quick and easy to pitch, and just as easy to set down afterward.
The front door of the Lakecrest can be rolled away or pitched out as a canopy to improve ventilation inside, or to create a larger sheltered space perfect for socialising, cooking or relaxing.

The thicker the fabric, generally the stronger, and more durable the fabric will be.

Polyester is the most popular fabric for tent manufacturing, as it is durable, reliable and lighter in weight. Polyester does not breathe though, which creates more condensation. Polycotton – a blend of polyester and cotton, primarily cotton (usually around 65% cotton / 35% polyester split). Polycotton is a more natural fabric for camping, as it is breathable, far more durable material, reducing the effects of condensation. Offers greater versatility in hot and cold climates.

| Hydrostatic Head (mm) | 3000 DetailsHydrostatic Head (Tents) – a waterproof rating for technical fabrics measured in mm. The higher the rating the more waterproof the fabric is. A rating of 1500mm is deemed waterproof, but on a tent, look for a rating of 3000 or higher. Measured by the height of water column a fabric weave can take before it begins to “sweat”. “Polycotton” tents will not have a Hydrostatic Head level, as they are not treated for waterproofing. |
