Hi Mr Ho, welcome, not sure what you mean by big2/small2 man tent ?

But, generally speaking I would class a pup tent as a small 2 /3 man tent that you cant stand up in.

I was told that the definition of a pup tent is "a small 2-3 man tent with no seperate living area suitable for children/teens to be used to sleep in only"

Hope that helps

So would that mean a 2 man pop up tent would be classed as a pup tent? (asking as I'm thinking of putting one of the step kids in a pop up!!)

That sounds like the sort of advice we've been given by campsites in the past too. MT
