I'm looking for a new tent.....for us and 5 dc? can you help me find one big enough, please...

[sparklesandwine]

i'm looking for a new one to fit us all in

at the moment we have one with a room in the middle and 3 bedroom pods off it, one for us and the dc share the other 2 but there is very little room to store anything so we'd like to get a new one with more room

we have 5 dc and would like one with 4 or 5 bedrooms plus a middle/central room but i can't find one and i was wondering if anyone on here had one that they could recommend, or even tell us to avoid!

i was thinking about letting DS1 (10) have his own tent at the side but i'm not sure i'm comfortable with that yet...

TIA

Bumping for you.

Although it only has 3 bedrooms, the Vango Amazon 800 is absolutely huge. Plenty of room for storage, table, chairs etc. You could probably stick a couple of pop-ups inside the tent for the kids to sleep in if you wanted. I would do a link but all the pics online seem to be of the 600 - the 800 has another set of windows. Check out the floorplan and you'll get some idea of the size of the living space. We have one and it's like a marquee. Very solidly built too. We also looked at Outwells which are very roomy, but a bit expensive.

wow that one does look big!

it's really hard to find something

we'll have to book 3 pitches though by the looks of it!

We have a Sunncamp Vario 9 and it's brilliant.

There are 4 bedrooms and a main living area. We generally have a bedroom for dh & I, dd has one and dsd has one, then the 4th one we put up a wardrobe (well actually it's one of those small, plastic greenhouse things) and keep the portaloo and coats in there.

In the main area we can put a table, cooker on a stand, quite a large fridge, a toy box, another greenhouse, table and benches and 4 sunloungers!

The other summer I cooked chilli for 14 and as it was raining we were all in the main living bit.

We love ours.

We've got the Outwell Montana 12 which is massive but not sure the layout meets your requirements:

thanks sha - that one isn't but there are a couple on there that could be, good prices too!!

In the ikely event others are scanning this, would suggest this as we had the smaller version a few years back, was fantastic and can see now we're a larger family that this one would be good.

We got our Montana in the sale at the end of August a couple of years ago and it was cheaper so if you can hold out this season you might get more of a bargain.

The Outwell Hartford is massive! And has 4 pods.

Vango Killington 900??
Better than the old Vango's as this one you can pitch fly first and has a fully sewn in groundsheet.
