need tent reccomendations....

[Nemo2007]

we bought a cheap tent last year on ebay which was fab however we didnt count on having another baby for this years trips. Camping is the only way we can afford a break so need a cheap tent that I can save up for but not exceeding £150 as that would be wayy too much for us. ideally would like: 2 or 3 sleeping sections
Good height on living area.
Able to fit a travel cot in as will have a 1yr old, 3yr old and DB who is due next week.
Also not too huge when packed as have a renault scenic but will have all back seat full of car seats and double pram and travel cot in boot on top of normal camping bits.

Think that is all I require and am hoping to make around £40 for the tent we bought last year so any ideas????????

Nice 9 berth tent here for £149, this is where we bought our tent from and received excellent service from them.

This tent is good because you can choose whether you need to assemble all the sleeping areas - if not then you have extra seating area.

Nemo - I have the money available for the tent when you feel up to things!!

I have done in the past Peachy but sadly no interest wrong time of year though so will do again! Will try in my local paper first as it saves on packaging but if it is what a fellow mner wants/then I am happy to sell

Whoops funny enough Dh said today that the tent is at the front of the shed so will speak to him about arranging delivery as he will need to find a box or something for it.

I've been reading all the camping threads, and spending hours looking at different types of tent. The Lichfield Arapaho 6 looks like it would be good for us... but I don't know anything about Lichfield's reputation. Are they are a good company? If anyone has had one, or knows anything about them, please let me know!!
Also thanks to everyone for posting ideas... it's all really set me off on the right track ( I hope.. )

Thanks! Didn't expect a reply so promptly! They've got some for sale on e-bay, but I'm nervous about bidding for one I haven't actually seen. Now quandry of debating whether to go for it or not!
We're going to look at some at the weekend, but don't want to miss a bargain. Ahh! Decisions decisions!
