I am after a tent(obviously lol) I am only familier with small 3 man tents and wanting something that i can take us all away in
After meny days and nights on ebay i simply cant decide which 1
i am wanting something not too big but not too small and that there wouldnt be a problem finding a pitch, i have 3 kids (2 girls 4 and 15) (1 boy at 10) as well as me and the OH.
I like the idea of the vango diablo or the vango aspen .Because of the sig
But with been blonde and a women my OH says i aint got a clue (dont think he does either) lol
I am wanting to budget around £250 cheaper would be great !
I have seen a auckland 500 on ebay but i am unsure
I have got a wynnster indus 10, got it from norwich camping on the net for £250. absolute bargain and a brilliant size for the price. no sig tho. u should google some camping shops and look around as you don't always get the best price on ebay. good look hunting
I always recommend getting to a display. Nothing like sseing a tent in the flesh before buying. Let us know where you are based, and others local to you can make recommendations.
i have a gelert lokon vario 6 loads of living space, 2 large bedrooms and easy to put up, tunnel tents are fantastic because of the headroom all the way through, also you can find the 2006 model for £150 instead of about £250 for the 2007 model, a bargin
Hi we've been camping for many a year now and we've bought 3 tents during this time, to cope with growing family! we alway bought outwell from camping shop, but last year we bought ProAction Nevada 8 person, 3 room tent from ARGOS! for £159.99, great tent, not expensive - big loads of room and there is only 4 for us, room to store bikes etc if the weather not good, plus its not too expensive if you're just starting out - hey you may not enjoy camping - but i can't see why you wouldn't enjoy it!!! everyone is sooooo friendly where ever you go!
Always wondered about tunnel tents when going past farms. Farmers use tunnels as a cheaper alternative to greenhouses. Who got the idea first ? Farmers or tent manufacturers ?
dont buy the auckland . i bought one off e bay and though it 8 berth would comfortabbly sleep 5 . the quality of the fabric is crap (ripped up one of the sleeves already(used 3 times last year)go to a local shop and get to know some of the better brands first. size and space ect
Hi ,have a look around at camping stores ,see one you like the look of then if you can pop back and if anyone found it to be a ringer!
Safest way of doing it ,even if it is a bt of a messing about!
Plenty of people here will reccomend a tent before they have even used it themselves so beware!! you buy it on recommendation ,6 months later they are whining it leaks /fell apart ,you already bought one on their say so
There are a few nice tents in the ads section at the top of the page, all within your budget. There is a Hartford XL with porch, check my gallery to see this set up, there is also a couple of Aspens,if you see a tent just type it into the search to see what people think.

Newby on here and am seeking advice .

Any ideas on an ideal tents.
The Coleman Magellan 9 is a bargain at the moment (here) (under your budget) and this retailer is good to deal with.
It has three separate bedroom pods but not a massive footprint. It pitches outer first (the Aspen you mentioned is nice, and also available at a good price at the mo, but pitches inner first, which isn't everyone's cuppa tea), poles for the dome are aluminium - light but strong - and the pack size isn't mega. It also has a SIG.
I couldn't resist one myself (though I am really a canvas devotee) and, subsequently, a friend of mine bought one too. I wanted a quick to pitch synthetic with three bedrooms and SIG, and this fits the bill nicely.
PS If you still fancy an Aspen, it is a good price here and I can again tell you, from personal experience, that this seller is good to deal with, too.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
