Up for sale is my still very new Aarn Pacer 1. It has been used on one weekend trip, and performed very well in mild weather.

There are no rips/tears/holes or any other problems with the tent. It comes with pegs, front/rear poles and stuff sacks, and has not yet been seam sealed but does come with the factory included sealant. I'll also throw in my homemade Tyvek homewrap groundsheet. Note this tent needs two hiking poles to set it up and these are not included. Selling as its just a little on the small side for me (190cms)

The weight is 1.4kg, you can read more from the official website:

Can take more pictures on request.
I'm looking for $220 delivered anywhere in Aus.

How easy is it to pitch, and is the vestibule big enough to cook in?

The picture I've posted shows it pitched with 2 pegs, which is the minimum. It uses a pole at each end and one in the middle with trekking poles. The first time I set it up I was quite confused about how to set it up and it took a while. But after a few goes it became far quicker. To summarise it is fairly easy to pitch but not the quickest tent to pitch due to multiple poles.

You can cook in the vestibule without too much trouble I would imagine, as the door can be held open to form a roof area.
