Am looking to buy a 6/8 berth tent preferably with large porch area.  Liked the Nebraska XL but having looked at reviews online have changed my mind.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a good sized, easy to errect, waterproof!!! tent?

Thanks

We have the  Sunncamp Olympic XP which we love. Has 3 bedrooms, huge living area ( we have had 2 picnic tables end to end in it )and I always have my kitchen area in the porch. Easy to put up although it is large and does take up a lot of space in the car.

It says it sleeps 12 but there are only 4 of us. It is about 7 feet high in the middle - we call it the fabric bungalow. The bedrooms are big enough for two single blow up beds with a gap in the middle or one double. We have had ours for three years and have been really pleased with it. A bit pricey - I think we paid just under £300 for ours but hopefully it will last a good few years.

Sewn in ground sheet, so always dry and warm.

I am supposed to be packing at the moment as we are going tomorow morning but cant seem to get motivated.

Good luck - happy shopping - let me know if you find one with an en suite!!!!!!

Love Kay

Outwell Georgia XL (Doesn't leak !!!) Different design to the Outwell's that seem prone to leaks. We returned a Nebraska last year, but stuck with Outwell amd are very happy with the tent.

Vango Diablo 900xp would be worth a look too.

If you want real ease of pitching, maybe a Khyam QE Classic range tent.

Good luck
