Hi all

Looking for some recommendations.

We have a trigano trailer tent which I love but as we're getting more and more into camping we want the opportunity to take off at a moments notice for a night or possibly two.  I feel that pitching the trigano is too much work for a short stay and feel we should get something smaller and simpler for short breaks/weekends.  So what would you recommend - there's myself, OH and the two bonkers boys

Thanks

SF

Hi Shellyfoz,

Look at the Lichfield Yacuma 6+ 4 at Somerset Camping for £140 better than half price, it was reviewed I think on this website. My daughter bought one earlier this year for OH and 3 small kids and is very happy with it. Must be OK as she now lives in Scotland bur originally from the ' Emerald Isle '

Best of luck

Hi Shelleyfoz,

You could also look at the Hi Gear Zenobia 6 (go outdoors £149) plenty off space, you can stand up in it, 2 seperate bedrooms.

Dead easy to put up and take down. it is also reviewed on this site and given 9/10 each time.

I like my Outwell Iowa - we can throw it up in 20 mins and there is still enough sleeping and living space.

How about a Vango Tigris 800, we have the 600 and all kip together(family of four) in one big sleeping pod.
Pitching time is less than an hour and has plenty of room,there are extensions for the tent too so flexibility as well.

We have a vango Icarus 500 as a weekend tent its brilliant. We can have it erected and double air bed plus two sinlges blown up within half an hour. I think next year Vango plan to bring out the 600.
