Personally i'm trying not to look at them.....I think I have a problem....is there such a thing as AA for those with a tent addiction?

Not on my own then

I like the sound of these tents as our big outwell pole bag is so heavy it takes two of us to lift it! Then of course the canvas bag is equally as heavy but even just cutting down on one would be good!

at sarahshop - just beware of these tents - iv had to buy a golf cart to move the inflateable tent bag from garage to/from van to/from pitching site as its soooo heavy big & bulky. It's almost 38kg and there's no poles u can take out & put in a separate bag!

At least with a poled tent you can put the poles into a separate bag unlike these.

I don't know how heavy the Vango and Kampa polyester tents are but the outwell polycotton Concorde L weighs a lot - the bag is bulky & awkward too.

Gawd knows what the Concorde XL bag is like!!! - probably needs the motorised golf buggy to move it around!

Our tent weighs 63.5kgs and does come in a roller bag which when on the ground is ok to move but I'm not looking forward to getting it in and out of the car!!!!! Getting it back in the bag is another issue entirely.......
