Hi, just wondering if anyone can help. Looking for a family tent, would like a biggie so it lasts for years, want something easy to put up, but really want something that's good quality and going to last well. We will only be using it a couple of times a year though so it doesn;t need to be arctic expedition standard!!
We saw this the other day, and thought it looked great, but it seems too cheap. The man in Yeomans said that Peakland were made by Outwell for Yeomans and were the same quality. What does everyone think re. quality of Peaklnd? Have no idea about tents at all, as have only just persuaded OH that camping could be a joyful family experience.

Any lone tent-pitchers out there?

Last year was our first year camping as a 'micro-family' - just me and two boys under 8. We all loved it and are planning more trips this year, but....

We borrowed a tent that was a single layer - it was ok for me to pitch on my own with a bit of help from my eldest son. However, this year i would like to buy a second hand tent that has inside tents for sleeping compartments.

Does anyone have any experience of pitching single-handed, inner or outer first if on own or whether i need to train up eldest son to help more than hammering in the pegs until we are sure they are in Australia.

Please help!
