Quest Screen House Shelters - New Developments For 2020

[Wombles]

For all lovers of Quest screen house shelters there are new developments on the way for the Pro versions which already include zipped panels - now a connecting tunnel is planned to zip on to the front door zip. The lower height caravan version should be launched at the February 2020 Show & they are considering a taller version for motorhomes... This is only for the Pro not standard version of the screen houses. There is currently this zipped canopy accessory option:

Spotted that the Pro 6 models can be zipped together (can add up to five!) too which could be handy for groups. Good to see that the poles on all models are now repairable too.

UPDATE: We couldn't visit the February NEC Show but can see from their Facebook pages that athough the canopy was featured at the Show (photo below) there is no mention or photos of the proposed zip on connecting tunnel yet

I've emailed the relevant contact at Quest to find out what's happening with the tunnel as, like us, know that quite a few may be interested in this & consquently considering upgrading to the Pro version of the Screen House 4/6.

Hi wombles we recently bought the pro 4, so yes would appreciate any updates if a extra tunnel could be added to our hymer

Hi - we are looking to get a Pro 4 too but latest news from Quest is that the tunnel is still in development & whilst there may be a sample at the October NEC Show it may be next year that it is on sale. Fingers crossed that it goes ahead then ? Will update here & alert you if any news.

Thank you for the info. - best I've seen in the last year is £238 delivered (we aren't in CCC) but on the lookout for a bargain - well we can hope!

I had read that certain sites don't allow the size 6, as took up too much room, so to be fair the size 4 pro suits us and the grandkids

Maybe the front panel has eyelets on the corners to fit into canopy poles? Not long until Easter now

Have any Funsters had their PRO 4 refused by either of the club sites. Do you call the PRO 4 a pop up tent or a pop up Gazebo?

Know some call it a driveaway awning

 

[Cal54]

I always referred to my Quest 4 as a drive away awning and would attach one of the side straps to the wheel to prove it was attached!!

 

[7Hvn]

I'm thinking of getting one of these. Can anyone tell me how watertight they are with the sides in. Is it showerproof or waterproof? Any comments of robustness with continued use? Thanks in Advance...

I have one of the original 4 sided ones. Have sat in it in some horrendous weather, wind and rain, and never got wet. They are great and so easy for one person to put up.

In our experience the original shelters with mesh sides were fine in a shower but the top was not waterproof & if at an angle the rain could come in through the mesh sides but obviously better with the added fabric side panels. The latest models do have a waterproof roof. If well pegged these shelters can withstand quite harsh weather from what we have seen on rallies & festival fields but if just freestanding & not pegged they can be a hazard so (although many are used like a driveaway awning) some campsites don't allow them classing them as gazebos. They are very quick & easy to take down in a hurry if necessary. It was difficult to repair the older models if a pole section broke but we understand that these can now be replaced & are more accessible for repair. If anyone does buy one suggest a thorough check on delivery of the fabric for any holes as that seems to be the only fault for seconds models offered for sale on eBay. Apart from the attached wind out Fiamma/Thule awnings the Quest Screen House 4 shelters (some size 6 but not on campsites as too big) seem to be the most popular "awning" option for Funsters that rally regularly so that's a pretty good endorsement!

We love ours, have you ever had any refusals on club sites?

Never been questioned. Just book a "with awning " pitch.

 

[SallyR]

Bought a Pro6 at NEC this year and not used yet - hopefully will be allowed on an awning pitch would hate to have spent all that money and then can't use it

 

[Wombles]

Some limited new stock of the Screenhouse Pro 4 £298 & Pro 6 £398 available from stock now (according to their Facebook page) here https://www.cannockcaravanaccessories.co.uk/product/quest-screenhouse-pro-4-for-pre-order/ - likely to be high demand again for these this year.

First glimpse of the connecting tunnel £109.95 to fit Pro 4 https://www.towsure.com/screen-house-vehical-connector-fits-screen-hosue-pro-4-sh505 but height range only 180cm-210cm:

Towsure appear to have some of the range of Screenhouses in stock too https://www.towsure.com/search/?q=quest+screenhouse

 

[Jev88]

Found 4+4 models were going for £220 last year - when i got mine. Just another option for those looking for Quest as I hear stocks are low.

Think tonka has one of these too - they look good if you have enough space to carry one - in stock here at £224.99 <Broken link removed>

 

[Wombles]

Was tempted by this Quest Screenhouse 5 at £199 but all the panels have to be either up or down at the same time - can't have just one or two down for shade/privacy Might suit some though <Broken link removed>

I think they’ve been naughty because if you look closely I don’t think it’s really a Quest product.

 

[Wombles]

I think they’ve been naughty because if you look closely I don’t think it’s really a Quest product.

Our understanding is that German brand Westfield Outdoors (well renowned in Europe) products are imported & sold by Quest who also have their own product range. We did check & the only difference with the Quest 5 is that all the panels have to be all up or all down so not ideal for all uses.

That’s good, it’s a bit misleading otherwise. We’ve got one of the new Quest Pro 4’s so will bring it to Norden Farm.
