What tent should we buy

[orangepippin]

We need a new tent this year as have just made do with a cheap Argos one previously. This year we have lots of camping breaks planned and want to buy a tent that will last us a few years. We are a family of 7 and have a budget of approx £500. Any recommendations ?

Id recommend Vango...the new season should be on their website by now.

I saw a Vango Maritsa (I think) in Go Outdoors last week, it was ginormous, it had two living rooms! I've always had Vango tents and never had any real problems.

We have a Vango Maritsa and it's great, steel poles so very sturdy in the wind. Seperate sleeping, living and an enclosed porch too. Ours is the 500 but they do a 700 and we went in one at a go outdoors couple of weeks back and it was massive!
Always had Vango tents and never had an issue.
Happy tent hunting.

Thanks will have a look at Vango tents.
