I have a Cabanon Biscaya 370 "Quality Cotton" 280gm/2, and that is fairly easy to set up on my own, they do a "All Season Polyester" 220gm/2 and I would imagine that is even easiar, not to mention the "Rip-Stop Polyester" 130gm/2 that I would think almost goes up on it's own!. all three are superb 5 person tents, first two with ZiG and the lightweight is SiG.

I'd like a large-ish tent (4-5 people) but one that can be put up by 1 person. Base camp or family type. Any suggestions please?
What sort of budget are we talking about? How will you transport it (car / roof box / trailer etc)?
How about looking at the Kham range. Now a widow I find the hinged joints a dream I can put up mine alone ; a 4/6 berth if I used both sleeping compatments. Using just one I can be installed in 15 mins with the wine & cheese ready for a well earned rest. . separate the sleeping inners from the main body & it is easier to pack & carry.

We have an Outwell Vermont L. On youtube is a video of someone from Yeomans doing it on their own, so it can be done! But personally have not tried it!!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
