Can anyone help us decide between the Breckenridge 600 & Royal Bordeaux 6. We've seen both pitched and liked both for size and layout, but not sure of any other pros or cons so any advice would be very welcome.

Does anyone have any experience of how easy/quick these 2 tents are to put up?

Thank you.

For me it would have to be the Vango if the living area is to your liking. They are both tunnels and three bedroom layout but I think the bedroom sizes in the Vango are generous doubles where the Royals are a little tight. In addition Vango quality and guarantee is second to none. We have a Montana6 which we love but have said on a number of occassions that it would be better if there were 3 double bedrooms along the length and sure enough Vango go and make one.

Tunnel tents are actually quite easy to put up after a little practice, we probably pitch ours in about 30 minutes. Both our Monty and the Breckenridge are an all in one so unlike Inners first, it does not matter if it is raining as you pitch other than them being a little heavier when wet. 

Hi

We have a 400 breckenridge and have managed to pitch it no problem,  once you get the poles in place it is really straight forward. Excellent tent, very spacious. We managed to put ours up and take it down in the pouring rain and it was'nt to bad.  If it is the 600 you are looking at then you will have plenty of space and I imagine it would be just as simple to pitch.
