recommend me a huge tent please!

[bobblypop]

after a terrible camping trip I have concluded we need a much bigger tent ! (currently have vango Vista 8 berth)
There's me, dh, ds1(15) dd1(13), dd2(11), dd3(9), dd4 (7) and ds2 (5). then there are
dogs!
ideally I would like 4 pods, large living area and porch area.
can anyone recommend me a suitably huge tent?

Commented on your other post...given ages of kids, might it be an idea to get a 2nd tent instead of 1 huge one? The older boys would be fine in a 3-4 berth maybe? Then, as they get older and may not always go with you, you're not left with a massive tent and not enough bodies to fill it...

yes did wonder about that. not sure about pitch feed though...May worth out more expensive to have 2 pitches but may not if we have to pay large tent supplement....
forgot to add that idea tent must have Sig to stop dogs escaping!

excuse typos...I'm on my phone and vvv sleep deprived!

Buy a couple of pop up tents for the older 2 or 3 children. Then can you and the youngest 3 manage in the Vango? Does the Vango have dividers in the sleeping areas? Also get a gazebo to extend your living space.

As far as I can see this is what families with older DC we have camped with tend to do anyway. Good luck!

The thing is in a few years they will all want their own tents anyway, to have a small extra pitch still won't outweigh the cost of buying £500+ worth of monster tent.

Also commented on your other post (I think) recommending 2 tent and 2 pitches. However if you really want a big tent perhaps a Cabanon Espace would fit the bill? Good reviews on UK campsites. It's a canvas tent and probably heavy and expensive new BUT worth looking at a second hand purchase?

Oh, there's one on ebay now, in Yorkshire...

We have a kalahari 10 with a porch - it's brilliant and very spacious. Also the corado 8 is a massive tent. Both have four pods. The corado has a slightly larger living area but the kalahari is more flexible in terms of porches. Both great tents.
You would need to find a friendly campsite who would be happy for you to put an additional 2 man tent right next to yours (so still within your pitch space really). We go to the same place every year and they are happy for us to do this - bit we are 'regulars!!!'
