Need a new tent - come and play shopping for one with me, needs to have at least 4 bedrooms

[Thomcat]

Hate our old one and bought it cheaply and regretting it now.

Need a new one.

Would like a bedroom for each of the 3 girls, plus one for me and DP and in a really ideal world another room for storage stuff.

Does that exist??????

If not would like one bedroom to comfortably sleep 3 kids, plus a room for me and DP to sleep and a room for storage.

Any ideas?

[Thomcat]

So a 5 bedroomed tent, or a large 4 bed.

[Surfermum]

We have a Sunncamp Vario 9 and there's tons of room.

We have a bedroom, dsd has one and dd has one (although invariably ends up in with us) and the 4th we use for storage.

There's tons of room in the main part of the tent too, so it's great for cold or wet days. We have enough room for a table and chairs, a camp kitchen and table, a fridge, a toy box, a wardrobe and two reclining chairs!

We love it.

[Surfermum]

And we can use it as a 4 bedroomed, or just 2 bedroomed for weekends if we don't put the extra two "pods" on.

[Thomcat]

Now that's a big tent.

DP is hanking after a something like this as he thinks it's sex of tent pegs! I however just want something that will house us all in another 5 years time.

I've been tempted by one of those to use to nip off somewhere for the night with dd. I like the thought of pitching within seconds. But I'd never fit all our clobber in there!

we have this beast

vango diablo 900

Its MASSIVE- 3 big bedrooms and a massive dome area in the middle. You could hold a rave in it.

[Thomcat]

Anyone rate this one?

[Thomcat]

Hi Tiredemma - Vango look ok too actually

[surprise]

We were looking at the Outwell Hartford XXL with 4 bedrooms, but were told it might limit where we could stay due to it's huge pitching size. Might be worth considering that (which is why we bought a Vango which has smaller bedrooms but a massive living area). Which means that the pitching size is quite a lot smaller. Hope this helps.

[Lucycat]

Outwell are a really good make - the XXl Hartford is huge - you may have to pay for 2 pitches. Good tent though!

How about a gelert 10 berth

You have the space but while the littlest Thomcat is still a kitten she can sleep in with you and you'll have space for your stuff in there too.

Is it essentail for the girls to ahve their own rooms?

[memoo]

We have the Vango too and its fab, we have 4 kids and there is loads of room

[Thomcat]

See, I knew you guys would come up trumps on tips and info like that. Have decided not to go for the XXl thing if it's that big and they charge you for 2 plots. Off to explore other suggestions, thanks, xx
