The other half and I are looking for a smallish tent that we could just throw into the car on the spur of the moment, pack minimal gear and be off for a quick weekend without having to worry about the time taken to pitch a larger tent.

I've had a look around various camping shops and on the internet, and I've narrowed the choice down to three tents:

1)Vango Gamma 350

2)Sunncamp Voyager XL3

3)Trigano Bali XL Tunnel Dome

As you can see we're not going for anything too fancy (or pricey!) and was wondering if anyone on here could give us any further info regarding these tents?

Cheers!

We bought a vango venture 500 and it does the job just fine so I can vouch for the quality of the Vango stuff.

Vango would get the thumbs up from me too. The gamma is a great weekend tent and if you needed standing space the Venture is very popular!
