Hi there, I'm looking to upgrade my current tent.  I like the look of our friends tent which is a Gelert Satalite 6 - it has 3 bedrooms and lots of space inside.  Does anybody else own one of these - recommend?  Or is there anything else similar? Haven't got bags of money though, would prefer really to purchase 2nd hand but if I know what to look for....  My hubbie is over 6ft tall and he could stand no problem in the Satalite...  Also if there is a 3 bedroomed tent out there with the above but a sewn in groundsheet - I would be interested in your comments.

Thanks

The columbia 10,is on special offer from united british caravans for £130 has to be the best bargain  this year. 3 bedroom tent with sewn in groundsheet, and big living area. you won't buy something similar second hand for this price. I think they're last years stock. Lots of members have bought them and been very pleased with them. I'd get one of these quick if you want sewn in gs.

The satellite 6 is a great tent too, the aztec palacio 6 is identical, my sister has one and I've erected ti singlehanded.I can recommend them.

They will do mail order (no web site though) and are reliable.
