Full details
The Trail Shilstone 5 Man Family Tent is an ideal choice for families or small groups seeking a spacious, standing-height shelter for extended camping trips. Its standout feature is the versatile three-zone layout, including a light-blocking Dark Zone bedroom and a protective front awning, though its 22.5kg weight means it is better suited for car camping rather than backpacking.

Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting poles into the sleeves
Ensure the poles are fully clicked together at the joints and do not force them; check for internal obstructions or folds in the fabric.
Condensation forming inside the tent
Ensure all ventilation points are open. Avoid cooking inside the tent and keep wet gear in the awning area rather than the bedroom.
Tent feels unstable in high winds
Check that all AGS Tech guy-lines are properly tensioned and that all ground pegs are secure. Re-adjust the angle of the poles if they have shifted.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Generous standing height of 200cm throughout the living area
- Excellent weather resistance with 5000mm hydrostatic head rating
- Dark Zone fabric significantly improves sleep quality by blocking light
- Thoughtful internal organization with hooks and cable management
- Includes a large front awning for muddy gear or shelter
Cons
- Substantial pack weight of 22.5kg makes it heavy to transport
- Large footprint (515cm x 330cm) requires a spacious pitch
- Setup process takes time due to the size and pole configuration
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To pitch the tent effectively, it is recommended to have two people work together due to the size and weight of the flysheet. Lay out the footprint, assemble the angled fibreglass poles, and thread them through the sleeves before tensioning. Ensure all pegs are driven at a 45-degree angle away from the tent for maximum stability. For care, always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing it away in the oversized carry bag to prevent mildew growth. If the tent becomes dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents that could strip the waterproof coating. Store in a cool, dry environment when not in use.
