Hi all,

I have a Vango beta 450, a 4 man tunnel tent with 1 bedroom.

I'm looking for a new tent, for various reasons:

Height - I can't stand up in my bedroom, and barely in the other room, and want to be able to (I'm 5'4") especially to get changed on Cub camp in privacy

It generally gets used by me alone on Cub camp, but also for trips with teenage DD (also a Scout) on our own adventures. So I don't need massive space, but no smaller than 4 man makes sense.

It would be useful to have a split bedroom to put gear or have capacity to swop people around if there is an emergency on Cub camp.

I want a porch to be able to shelter while I cook (I don't have another covered shelter) if it rains.

And I want to be able to go on longer trips on occasion, which needs a bit more space.

But I don't want it too massive - I need to be able to put it up alone (I can do the Beta alone easily) if necessary, and it not be stupidly large for 2 nights on Cub camp. Or take too much space in my car (it's an estate, but it's always FULL with gear and sometimes Cubs as well).

I'm happy with Vango, does anyone have any recommendations. (Sorry for the length of the post, I was trying to give what I thought would be the useful info).
