Being new to all this I was going to buy a Leben 6 from Ebay but now have been slightly put off.

I'm sure you can all help point me in the right direction!

There are 4 of us , 2 adults and 2 small children. We would like a tunnel tent with the bedrooms next to each other (at the back) and a largeish front section for eating/relaxing in (or as in our first time camping as a familly last weekend, sheltering from the rain in).

Our  budget is around £200 , lower hopefully!

Thanks

  A new (old) camper!

or Aztec Galeria 6 (I got for £239). We are also 2 adults & 2 wee ones. This is spacious (OH is 6'2" and can stand up throughout) & easy to put up (I do it with my 5yr old son).

Hi

We have just (today!) bough the SunnCamp Vario 600 (as our 2nd tent). It has 2 bedrooms next to each other, with a really great size living area, and has a little storage area too. We paid £245 for ours, but Ive found a similar one to ours for £202, see this link

I'm flogging the Skandika brand all over the place today!  I can't tellyou how pleased I am with mine!  Bought it from Ebay and it measures up quite nicely against the Outwells at a fraction of the cost.  Definately worth a look!

Meant to say, ours is 9 bearth, with 2 bedrooms at the back an plenty of space out front.  Cost £125 inc p&p from Germany!  Well within your price range and I saw the next size up go for £110 last night!
