I'm looking for a new tent for this summer, if anyone could offer some advice I'd really appreciate it :D

I'm definitely looking at the lowest end of the market price-wise, although I'd consider second-hand to get a better one if it was in good condition.

It's for two adults and two children, but the children are little (5 and 3) so I'd like their sleeping area to be the same side as the adult one (if they are seperate pods) and not on the opposite side of the tent, or don't mind if it's like the vango with the curtain in the middle.If the entrance to seperate pods was the same, that would be even better, the best option I think!

WANT a SIG, I don't like the damp getting in!

And I guess I'd like a decent sized living area, just in case of rain...

not fussy at all 17 what can anyone suggest please?

I really like it but I think I'd prefer something smaller...  would possibly make sense to get a bigger one just in case but I think it would just be unneccessary...

Thanks for the suggestion though :)

The Vango Icarus looks easy enough to pitch, has good headroom throughout and sounds like an ideal bedroom inner set up?
