Hi all, im trying to pick a new tent and struggling because there are so many! Please help me :)
In an ideal i would like;
* A 5/6 berth tent, there are only two of us but i like to have a spacious bedroom, i dont like being too close to the sides of the tent
* A spacious living area that we can also store our bikes in.
* Lots of windows / lights in the living area
* As well as a door to the bedroom area, and seperate zippable mesh door. I have seen a lot of the outwells dont have a seperate mesh door.
* Tent thats allows full standing height, whether in the living area or bedroom.
* Prefer to have the main door way that you put poles into to create a porch, at the end of the tent rather than the middle of the tent.
Ideally our budget is £200 but would pay a little more if it was an excellent tent.
Thank You :)

Wynnster Eagle 6 is my favourite, although new it was £335. I still have mine although it has only been used for 6 nights as arthritis has dictated I get a caravan. I still long for the tent though.
Forgot to say it's over 2mtrs high. My sister who is 5ft cannot open the doors with out a major stretch.
Don't know how to do links but if you go into tent reviews at the top of this page and then search for Wynnster Eagle you'll see what I mean.
I would have suggested the new Vango Samara 400 but it doesn't have the front door you are looking for, so I would suggest you have a look at the Vango Tigris 600, our friends have just bought one and it has everything on your wish list, it may be slightly over your budget but if you shop around I think you would get one at a decent price.

not sure what you mean by "seen outwells without separate mesh door" all the ones I have seen have.
If its lots of windows and living space look at a 2nd hand Oakland XL, living space is 3m x 3.5m and huge windows.Front and side door have mesh doors also(seperate)
and front and sides can use kingpoles to open up.
Have a look at the pictures on the reviews of it, the windows really are huge.
