Tent advice - thinking about Outwell Nebraska xxl or Wynnster Indus 10

[batgirl]

Hi, I'm new to the camping section & relatively new to camping (just 3 yrs) but the DKs & I managed to get DH hooked this summer so we feel we can justify a tent upgrade!
Ideally we want 3 pods & a big living area as we experienced quite a bit of rain in France this summer. I have been trawling the internet & these two tents look the right sort of shape - just wondered if anyone had any experience or views on them?
Many thanks!

We are considering replacing our tent with a Nebraska XXL for next year, so will watch this thread with interest!! Saw one erected at a local Camping Shop and was very impressed, seems just what we want, but just a lot of money!!!

wynnster is a good tent- outer first, even, which is quite unusual with these pods. We've certainly looked at it and thought yes please!

Have you seen it? It's lovely.

The other option of course is the Vango Diablo 900, also a solid tent.

does it have to be 1 of these 2? I've just bought an Outwell sun valley 8, on special at £299. It has up to 3 bedroom (2x3) + 1 separate romovable double. It's huge & got big covered porch & you don't have to worry about it being too big for most pitches. At same time I bought an Outwell pop up for the 2 older boys to share, cos I was on a bit of a tent freny. I really liked the look of this 1. My 1st love was the Hartford xxl but the thought of the agro of the size & shape put me off, plus I in the end decided easier p(and therfore quicker) pitching would be for us the better option. We are 2 adults & 3 little one btw.
btw I'm even more of a novice. We used to do very basic camping just the 2 of us pre-kids in a dead cheap 2 birth eurohike dome. As a family we've had only 1 camping holiday, in a rented mobile home, so the big tent is something I'll have to wait till next year to experience

Thanks all for your views.

I haven't seen either tent yet, but a friend I camp with has a Wynnster (bigger than this one) It's vaaast but still easy to pitch - she + 1 child can put it up within an hour (except once when it was v windy & it took 4 adults & 8 children to hold onto it!). I agree the Nebraska is painfully expensive, but I think we'd stretch to it if we thought it worthwhile as DH can now envisage years of holiday savings ahead (compared to renting self catering accom)

I will look at the Sun valley & the Vango too thanks (quite keen on a Vango as we currently have a cheapy Lichfield which I understand is the budget branch of Vango & it is a very good tent). We are greedy on space, though, so I'm not keen on 2 person pods as there is so little storage space & I like to keep lots of things safely dry in the pods!

Vango do a three pod version, that's the 900: we have a tent almost exactly the same as the two pod Diablo which is fantastic, but if it doesn't tick the right boxes it's nott he one for you (gelert Tahoms).

TBH if we were replacing the Gelert the Wynnster ahs already been deicded for 'big' tent. Uk campsite (search for reviews always a good idea before buying) does a tent that we fancy for small, we find having both would be handy but we do little and big trips.
