Hi I'm new to this forum and thought i would ask your advice on buying a tent.  We don't have a big budget (upto £100) but there are only two of us.  Most important to me is that the sleeping area has good height.  The reason being I suffer a little from claustophobia and the tent we have borrowed in the past, i really struggled with. I really enjoying camping and looking forward to getting our very own tent.

I like the look of the Outwell Minnesota but this is way out of our price range!

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Off the top of my head ,I would say a vango venture 500 ,large sleeping pod ,around £80

Best way is to go see a tent display or even a campsite and see what takes your fancy ,then post back here and see if  there is lots of good/bad experiences of it ? :)

Hi Windy2 and welcome to the forum and the world of UKCS.

If I was in your choes I would look at the tents in Argos - they are really good and reasonably priced - I think they have a sale on some of them at the moment - I like the ProAction Nevada - although this is a 5 man tent its got loads of space and with plenty of head height look here check out the other tents too - you cant go wrong at these prices!!

Best of Luck

Thanks everyone. 

Kitten, i liked the look of that tent but was told the quality wasn't that great? 

This is the vango ,although im sure the picture is of the 400 !

Got a pic of my 600 somewhere ( same as the 500 but 2 sepeate bedrooms instead of one large ) so you can see the size ,one tic

What about this? Its a sunncamp tarn 300, only £87.50!

or a sunncamp voyager 500 for £58?

Have a look here: http://www.awnings.co.uk/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=1647 for some good deals.

I quite like the look of Wynnester Mallard 4 07 version, any experience of this?

There's so much choice!
