Sunncamp Evolution 600, Kham/Campus Yale - both have a SIG and are not that big.

A few people have mentioned problems with the Evo, but now say that it is sorted - worth checking the other threads as it is a nice looking tent.

A camp bed is around 60cm wide and a double air bed is about 140cm (argos) so in my mind you should be looking at a 6 berth tent with 2x3 person rooms, of about 180cm plus.

We just got a Coleman Columbus 8 on order as with the full length groundsheet you don't have grass on the floor if you don't put a bedroom up, and do get loads of living space. The two larger bedrooms would do you but it is probably too big for what you need. We however don't want to be next door to the kids so the other end is fine for us.

£210 at e-awnings.

We bought a montana 4 as a weekend tent.

SIG, decent living area, 2 bedrooms, takes about 20 mins to pitch, it works perfectly for us.

Our main tent is a diablo 600 so in a very similar position to you with the Biarritz. The only dowside to the montana 4 was the price (we ended up paying £205).

 Good luck

Hope you don't mind me saying but the bedrooms on the Mallard are still only 155cm so although you will fit in there won't be much extra room.

I would be looking at a 180cm room myself, but if it has everything else you want at the price it should be fine.
