We are still searching for our ideal tent for next year, it must have

2 sleeping compartments, one big enough to take a raised double Aero Bed, the other is only for Porta Potti/Washing/wardrobe and preferably sewn in groundsheet

It must pitch fly sheet first (in case of inclement weather) and most importantly we must be able to stand up in it - we are both around the 5ft 8in height.

Not too expensive either

Please someone, give me some ideas.

TIA

This in my opinion is a bargain, i have the Freedom trail Calgary by Slumbalux and although i love my canvas frame tents this is a great tent

How big do you prefer? I saw one of these up at PJ camping yesterday - looks like a really nice little tent.

Thanks Caster (that was way too big for the two of us) and superjules, I took a look at that one, then one thing led to another and I read pjfuls request about Kyhams so I took a look at those, thought the Quebec 6 was nice and showed it to OH and we have decided on that one.  Now just surfing around for the best price, so far the cheapest is £187.19 from CampingWorld with a footprint groundsheet for £15.31 of course we have the added expense of carriage to the Channel Islands but hopefully that will be offset by the removal of VAT which doesn't apply to us.

Thanks both of you Caster and Superjules for the help.

Now after all the faffing and fannying around I did OH has decided the 6 is too big and we should settle for the Quebec 4, so that's what it's going to be, all ordered now too from Camping World (Cheapest I could find) also ordered a sun awning. 

Watch out UK here we come in 2009

Congratulations on the new tent. All you have to do now is decide which UK site to visit.

Looks like a nice tent, especially for 2, there will be loads of space. I helped my friend put up her Ontario 6, neither of us had put it up before and it wasn't difficult, so you'll have no probs.

Thanks Joanne, I think it will be a case of drive on the ferry, drive off, toss a coin for left or right and thenget going.  Looking forward to maybe meeting some UKCS'ers at long last.
