I tried Tentbox and awarded a 10/10 rating — now they’re up to £600 off in a Black Friday sale

AS THE Sun’s reviews manager, I like to think I’m firm but fair.

I’ve tested hundreds of products since starting my job, so I’m not easily pleased.

But when I reviewed the Tentbox Lite 2.0 earlier this year, I simply couldn’t fault it, prompting me to award it a rare 10/10 rating.

My only tiny niggle was the price — but you can now save hundreds of pounds in the Tentbox Black Friday sale.

Shop Tentbox Black Friday deals

The retailer has unleashed some major discounts for the annual shopping event, with as much as £600 off its highly rated roof-mounted tents.

The Lite 2.0 model I tested has been slashed by a massive £200, from £1,295 to £1,095.

While it’s not the most show-stopping Black Friday deal that we’ve found so far this year, if you were already considering pulling the trigger on a Tentbox, this might be enough to convince you.

After all, you could use that £200 saving to pay for your first trip away.

TENT OUT OF TENT

The ingenious Tentbox Lite 2.0 completely changed my mind on camping

In the past, I’ve been put off camping due to several factors, most of which boil down to my own laziness and love of the finer things in life.

I can’t be bothered with the hassle of putting up and taking down a tent, and I sleep badly in them, too, leaving me ratty and unpleasant — not exactly what you want during a weekend away.

However, a Tentbox solves both issues.

It takes no longer than five minutes to set up and put away, even for someone as clumsy as me, and the fact that the entire floor of the tent is a mattress makes for a pretty comfy night’s sleep.

After testing one for just two nights, I came away resolved that, when I move out of London and buy a car, I’ll be buying one of these too.
