need help choosing a new tent...

[benbon]

hi i need your help. we discovered this year that we love camping... so would like to upgrade our tent for one that will last us for years.

single mum and 2 little skids so need one that is relatively east to put together.

really want one that has a sewn in ground sheet. with a decent size living area so if it rains we can eat our lunches inside.

more then 1 sleeping area.

also prefere taller tents so we can stand upright..

must also be on a single parents budget... max £150-£200 will that be enough???

am i asking too much??

Hiya

What about this one, on a good offer?

www.worldofcamping.co.uk/shop/outwell_colorado_5_tunnel_tent__1802

We have a tunnel tent and its pretty easy to put up, outwell are v good.

Def get an Outwell one. I have a Colorado tent in my tent collection and can put ip up by myself and I'm a shortarse.

Hi Benbon,
a really usefull site for tents is " the Tent Team" www.thetentteam.co.uk they have a huge selection of camping gear and accessories.. I don't know how big a tent you were thinkig but for your price range I think that the "Sunncamp Evolution 600" looks pretty sweet. www.thetentteam.co.uk/product/27820/sunncamp-evolution-600.html

Hope this helps in some way.

How many years were you thinking? I think someone asked a while ago on a camping website how long the synthetic tents last - the answer was only around 5 years if they get used much because UV radiation degrades the fabric. If you want something that really lasts you might be better to look for a 2nd hand canvas tent somewhere.
