HI,

I am new to camping and have just returned from my first camping trip, wow what a weekend we had a good time but the weather well you can guess wind and rain like ive never seen! but we loved it. I was pleasently surprised that my tent 6person tent from Ebay held out uo untill the last few hours whare we had a few small leaks! Wasnt helped by not having a sewn in groundsheet.

So I need a little help please.... I want to but a new tent with at least three bedrooms big enough for at least 1 double airbed in each room and a large living space. It must have a sewn in groundsheet throughout so we dont get any water flowing in!!! I would like to be able to stand up in it preferably throughout and if not asking to much a little area for a toilet or storage,  I would like it to be of good quality and stand up to wind and rain should it turn nasty and catch me out whilst away. Also hard wearing as my naughty Springer Spaniel has decided he loves camping to!

I had thought about the Royal bordeaux 6 or the Royal Avignon 6 after seeing them on display locally but having read some comments on here I am a little worried re the size/quality.

I am willing to pay up to about £350 but can be a little flexible.

Many many thanks

Jane

Agree with the above recommendation for vango - but I would go with the Aspen 700 or 700DLX, 3 bedrooms 2x 2 berth and 1x3 berth, one of the 2 berths has a divider so the room can be split into a wardrobe area and room for porta-potti if required.  Loads of headroom, large living area, porch area (extended on the DLX version) - an excellent tent, very stable and roomy.
