I'm looking for a tent for weekend trips that is really easy to put up. Sometimes it will be just me and my 5 year old but sometimes will be my husband as well, so I need room for a double and a single airbed.
I've seen the Trailblazer 5 mentioned in some other threads - does anyone have this tent??
Do you think I can put it up on my own (with the aid of an eager 5 year old!) How long does it take to pitch (please be honest!!)
Ease to put up is number one requirement, followed closely by the need for a living area when it rains.
All advice will be very gratefully received.
Thanks.

We are also considering getting this as our weekend tent and I'm eagerly awaiting to hear the responses from people in the know! My hubby works 6 days a week and I get fed up of being stuck in the house with the kids but I can't pitch our Kyham or TT on my own, so like you I'm wanting something easy to pitch but with enough room for us all!
I'm in a similar situation. We've got an Outwell Indy 8 which I probably can't put up by myself - haven't tried mind! Anyhow, I started a thread recently that you might be interested in for other suggestions.
I was looking at the Trailblazer as our weekend tent, but I have found out that it pitches inner first which I'm not keen on, especially given the weather we've had recently (or perhaps I'm just being fussy!!)
Apart from that, I hear it's a good tent and easy to pitch but it has put me off buying it, so we're now looking at the VV500 which is very similar to the Coleman but pitches fly first.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
