Currently have an Outwell Nevada 5 man tunnel tent. Love that the porch and inner can both be fully pulled back to create a lovely open space, which makes it bearable in the hot sun. Live that it is as big tent but poled so that I can carry the weight and put it up myself if need be.
All the new ones are predominantly air tents (we have one but I much prefer poles). And there seems to be a new thing of only having doors rather than being able to fully open the living areas of the tent. I can only imagine that designers have decided this is more stable somehow, but I think it will be harder to keep cool.
I want windows and a full porch to sit in when it rains.
Also want a quality brand as we use the tent a lot, I would normally look at outwell and Vango but are there any other good ones for large family tents?
