Not completely new to camping, but having bought a bit of a dud last year (dodgy poles, gladly returned at time) I thought I'd try and be a little more informed this time.

Think I've whittled down my choice to a Wynnster Buzzard 4, Gelert Moonsoon or Lichfield Arrapaho.Seem very similar, any benefit of one over the other? Am on a bit of a budget, is this the best quality/space I'll get for my money(£80/£100)? All vis-a-vis/dome, is there a better tunnel one?

Thanks

We looked at the Litchfield last summer and liked it.  Kids howver wanted to be in 1 pod so want for Vango Venture 500

How many are you intenting to sleep? in what arrangement?

Is this for weeks away or primarly weekends?

What will you be sleeping on? matts, air beds, camp beds?

Would you consider a secondhand tent for you £80-100 budget?

 Thanks Mike J, will go off and have a look at the Vango.

To answer your questions Big Bunny, the tent will primarily be for weekends with (hopefully) a few week holidays. We have airbeds and there's me and my two little, but getting bigger, ones, so I guess something  easy to put up would be a bonus but not defining, not bad with instructions.Seperate or divided bedrooms needed. I'm not sure about second hand, just a bit worried if any problems.

Appreciate your time, thanks

When you are looking take into account bedroom width - a standard air bed is 80cm wide and a double about 140cm. The makers use very thin matts for their measurements - so ignore their sleeping numbers!

Given the budget (all around the £100 mark), also have a look at tents like the Coleman Lakeside & Canyon
