Is there a tent out there with an inner bedroom which can only be accessed from an outer bedroom ?

[TwistOLemon]

...sounds a bit of an odd layout but I have 2 small children, one of whom has ASD, and the other likes to get up at all sorts of strange hours. I would ideally like a 5 or 6 berth with one bedroom only being accessible from the other, to limit the possibilities of escape during the night.

Is there such a thing ?

any help appreciated.

Could you not have a two bedroom lay out with an interconnecting curtain, twine together the zips for your DC's side so the only way in and out is over you and through your bedroom door.

So anything like this, the dotted line between the bedrooms means a zip up bedroom wall

Right, so the dividing wall between the 2 bedrooms is zippered ?

that one has a zip between the 2 bedrooms, but also a separate door to the 'living area', so not exactly what you want.

yup. Generally on most floor plans of tents if the line is dotted it means the dividing wall is a zip away curtain. If the line is solid (or if there are two lines next two each other) it means the bedrooms are seperate rooms, so no access between)

vacaloca, but if Twist secures the zips to the Dc's room (with twine or one of those mini padlocks) then that door wouldn't be able to be used, so any access would be in/out of the parents side.

It sounds kind of unsafe, what is there was a fire, I think each room needs a door of its own. Or is that silly of me? Dont know....

Slubber that's great. I would do as you suggest and make their door to the living area unusable by twining the zips.

Probalby best for us to see one up to check it's the sort of thing we need.

Thanks so much

The bedroom would still have a door, it would just be at the side, rather than in the middle.

I cannot for the life of me think of any tents where there is a bedroom behind a bedroom.

And I have looked at a whole heap of tents this year.

daydream I see what you mean, but I think there is a great risk of one of the dcs unzipping in the night and taking a wander. At least they would have to disturb us first. We'd probably leave the curtain down, but it's nice to be able to have some privacy as well...

Peachy is the person to ask about preventing children from escaping tents.

She has experience!

I know she would say make sure your tent has a SIG. No use securing bedroom doors with twine if they can just crawl under the fly sheet

ooo am all excited now - next job to convince dp that camping is not the same as the one time he remembers in 1983 when he did his duke of Edinburgh award and had to eat cow dung for breakfast or something...

what's a SIG ?

sewn in groundsheet - doh !

sewn in groundsheet.Basically the tent is a giant bag.

We just bought this, which has a buttoned (for want of a better word) partition between what will be our bedroom and our daughter's. We did lots of looking and didn't see the combination you're speaking of. With this tent though, the third bedroom doesn't need to be hooked up, you could padlock the side door, access from the front and sleep in the middle section, giving you 2 separate bedrooms (or same bedroom) for the boys and still have plenty of room, as the tent is cavernous.

We weren't keen on these tents with the separates domes, better for a few couples sharing, or an grown up family, rather than wee ones.

Good luck (I hope this makes sense)

I see I have just repeated what Slubber said - it took me AGES to do a link and type, apols Slubber, I wasn't nicking your idea

lol Carnival. God the number of times I have typed out my message and gone and found links and all sorts, only to press Post and discover someone with quicker fingers has got there before me

yes, then that would work. I have a similar layout - Sun Valley 6 - and we normally leave the partition/curtain open to be able to see the kids and keep their door zips very high up so they can't reach them and go out by themselves.
