Right I think I have narrowed the choice down !

Outwell Iowa L ,can get this for £179 at yeomans

Outwell Michigan L ,can get this for £199 at go outdoors

Outwell Maine L ,can get this for £174 at my local Millets ( but no SIG in living area???)

Hubby likes the vango Orchy 600, £180 ish

any feedback would be most appreciated

Thanks!

The Michigan is not perfect (opening the front door from inside requires you to get on your knees) but it is the best of the bunch and, unlike the others, you can get away with not buying a canopy/extension as extra.

I believe that it's the best combination of stability, space, light, etc. I like and would seriously consider it were I in the market.

think i will drag hubby round some stores tomorrow!

we have seen the orchy 600 in the flesh, but none of the others

we liked the orchy as it has the 2 bedrooms next to each other

fab idea about the guyrope on the zip

been tent hunting today !

and have decided upon the Michigan L :)

and found the canopy half price ( £40 ) at a local outlet too

will get the carpet at a later date

Congratulations. It's a nice feeling, isn't it?

When and where are you hoping to first use it.

I can't believe how excited I am !

we are going this coming fri - sun here : http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=8256 ( very basic! eek)

and the same site for aug bank hol wkend

Praying for more sunny weather,or at least dry !

We are from Pembs originally, and hubby does lots of sailing there,so has a few events in Dale

friends of ours always camp,so thought it was time we made the leap to the camping scene too

hoping to have lots more wkends next year,and hopefully even futher afield maybe france? up til now we have only done static caravan holidays in France

back from our 3 night trip

I LOVE our Michigan L  it was fab for us

didn't take as long to pitch and take down as we had thought

nice and roomy living area mplenty of space for storage and table / chairs etc

can't wait to get the carpet etc now

Glad you like it; and not a little relieved since i recommended it!!

Did you enjoy Windmill Farm? You were concerened about it being basic; was it?

Make sure you do a review for the campsite and the Michigan.
