Hi

Looking for a quick errect tent kyham etc for 2 adults, but want a bigish living area that we can stand up in and/table and charirs can sit, as the scottish summers can be unpredictable. the 2 man tents i have looked at dont really seem to have a big living area, i would go for a bigger berthage just to get the living area, also long as you could stand up in the main bit etc, can anyone give me some advice on this, currently have a trailer tent but finding it is taking to long to put up for short weekends away

many thanks in advance

It depends on budget I guess, what about the Tourer 200? Thats got standing room, and I'm pretty sure you would have enough room for a small table and couple of chairs too.

The Freelander is cheaper but there's not a huge amount of living space in there.

You need to see them up!

I'm only 5'10 but don't feel like I can stand in a tourer...and not even in a XXL Classic...Only feel comfortable in a XXL Excelsior height wise especially in the berth's...More important for us as we need to bring a travel cot for the baby, but never the less most are lowish down...But take a look on their website, they've got the measurements on it...

thankyou for all your replys. almost won a combi camp on ebay, but it was stolen on the last day of the auction, so gutted, cant seem to find to many in scotland. really keen to get one of these but hard to get as i say

looking at the xxl ridgedom, but thinking maybe a tunnel tent would be the way to go, as we would only need one bedroom so could use the rest of the space as the living area
