I am planning on buying a new frame tent before May spring bank holiday this year. Had nearly decided on the Cabanon aruba, but have been looking at the Biscaya 500 today and really like it, but not sure if it is quite as practial as the traditional square frame tent.  We have three children aged 12,10 and 4. Has anyone got any advise or reviews regarding these two tents which may help me decide.  Many thanks

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

This isn't much help but i adore my biscaya 320 and it is for me and my two boys. I would have thought the 500 would take a sofa, tv, coffee table, dining table.............

When camping in a tent, my wife likes it erect ASAP but when camping in the Cali, my wife likes it up nice and smooth.
