Is there a tent display near you ?

It is always a good idea to see the tents pitched as they can look totally different from pictures.

Outwell Idaho XL / 8man

New to camping ourselves, just purchased above tent from PJ Camping for 319.99 delivered free. (usual price 549.99-Have seen them in sale at 299.99 also).  But we purchased other bits from PJs which made the overall price even cheaper.

Fantastic tent, loads of space.  We purchased the extension also.

I strongly recommend PJ, excellent customer service (so far at least)
