Our preferences would be:
- something that is strong (very strong!) and wind/water proof;
- is quick to pitch (the Hartford just took ages);
- preferably 3 sleeping areas- therefore 6-8 birth;
- we think canvas rather than poly; and
- has space to cook- whether internal or via an additional canopy.
We would really appreciate any views or advice, even if the conclusion is- get a caravan!
With that criteria the only style you should be looking at is a canvas frame tent 6-8 berth IMHO
Solid as a rock when pitched
Pitched and pegged in 1/2 hour with a little practice
3 sleeping areas in many of them
They have dedicated indoor cooking areas
Canvas will last for many years
That's all your boxes ticked, brand new look at anything from £400 - £750 but there are many great second hand bargains in good condition
Look out for cabanon, Relum, Marachel for best examples among others
