Need a tent...know it's done before..but please can I have your recommendations

[spudcounter]

We're a family of 4 and need (probably) a tunnel design so kids can sleep next to us, 3 sleeping compartments (3rd to dump our stuff in). Something that is easy to put up, and probably no more than 5m x 5m as this seems to be what the site we're going to restricts people to.

We bought one from Argos last year. possibly this one....can't remember what it was called...

it's an excellent tent, it gives you 3 bedrooms (so to say, and the middle bit is massive and gives aple space and you can stand up in it too

I think that Argos one'll be too large for the size you require. I'm currently looking at the Wynnster Pegasus 5 (or 6) and Wynnster Orion 5. These are domed living aread with the bedrooms at the back. These are about 6m long though and only two bedrooms 4+2 arrangement but good sewn in groundsheet/attached groundsheet arrangements too keep out draughts and bugs.

we are family of 4 and have the wynnster corvus 6, 2 bedrooms but we all go in the big one together and use the small for our stuff, its a nice tent, you can stand all the way through and it opens up on 3 sides

btw, we are a family of 5, but, because there is such a large agegap between es and the younger ones we tend to take a friend for him, lol...

a sewn in groundsheet is what we want..will check out the wynnster..how much are we looking at?

How av=bout something like the Wynnster Kestrel 6?

SIG, 3 bedroms although the lareg one is didvided by a drop down curtains o you'll be near the kids. it pitches flysheet first so you won't get the inners wet and although it's only 2000hh you see plenty of them about and I don't hear bad reports about them on ukcamping. Plus at £190 it's a steal!

Howzat?

Just remembered why I discounted the Wynnster Kestrel - 'cause according to www.UKcampsite.co.uk message boards is that they leak! We're going to look at the Vango Orchy 600 when they're in the shops to at the end of Feb. Retail at £180 but lots of deals for £150. New this year. www.outdooraction.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_VANGO_ORCHY_600_TENT__2008_.html - however has only got 2 bedrooms (one with a zipped curtain), prob not for you then! Sorry
