Hello, absolute beginner here just starting to collect the bare essentials. I have my eye on a 6 man Royal Bordeaux and would like any advice as i have read mixed reviews.

Thanks in advance.

How many people will be using the tent?
What sort of camping will you do - 1-2 nights, long weekends, week, fortnight?
UK or abroad?
Budget?

If you give us a few more details we will be able to give you a better reply.

Hi, back again after some wheeling and dealing on flea-bay. Got a new Coleman coastline deluxe 6 c/w with footprint, carpet and windshield. Have the cooker + gas (need a stand) beddings sorted as is the lighting and heating. Looking for advice on an essential tool kit (other than the mallet)

Thanks.

Coastline 6 is a great tent i had the 4 man version if your looking for a stand it depends on how far you want to go as you can pick up the concertina type around the £20 mark or you can go for something a little more complex like the camping gaz alluminium type around £45
