After much deliberation and with the help of lots of advice on here, I finally took the plunge and bought a tent.

I went for a Diablo 600 in the end - last years model but at £200 it was a bargain and who needs an extra door and a skylight anyway!

Thanks for all the people that replied to my previous posts - all the advice was very useful. In the end though I went for the tent I had seen as it was really difficult to judge the rest from pictures on the net.

Congratulations, we started camping last year and purchased the 600, it's a fantastic tent.

We are a family with 2 adults and two children too and spent ten days in North Devon last Summer and had a great time.

You'll be delighted with it I'm sure, have fun!!

John

HI, we got our diablo 600 last year after much on-line research and help from members of thissite! We took it out twice, once in France and once for a weekend in Forest of Dean.


It's a great tent. Remember to get someone to hold up the poles in the centre when doing the inner to prevent too much strain on them.

Happy camping.
Andrew
