Hi guys, I am debating which one of the above two tents to get for our family of 5 and a dog.  Anyone got any strong thoughts either way?  Any info appreciated. Cheers!

I'd go for the Wolf Lake 7 purely because it's polycotton

hi, thanks a lot. I am looking at buying a second hand version, the only wolf lakes available seem to be 2008 versions. Are these ok or has anyone heard of any problems! Cheers!

Have a look at these threads about the WL

I can't remember hearing about many problems with the WL over the last couple of years but don't take my word for it
