Someone on here recommended this tent. I need something i can put up myself. At 5ft 3 it limits options i suppose.

How easy is this tent to put up? and is this the best option for me?

Hiya. It looks like it should be easy enough because it's a simple tunnel with fibreglass flex poles. We have an Easycamp tent and it's pretty lightweight.

The only thing I can spot is that it's 200cm/6'6" tall in the centre and you'd have to hang the bedroom pod up from there.

Of course, once you've done that once you could leave the bedroom pod in and fold it like that. You just have to be careful about drying it all properly if you do that.

I just bought a Vango Kairos 400 because I am only 5ft 2ins and age 66, so needed something very easy.

Also plenty of sleeping room to accommodate my high bed. It is great.

Hi Posh.
I think I was the one who recommended this tent to you!
I'm only 5' 1" with a dodgy knee and bad back and can erect it on my own in about 15-20 minutes.
The bedroom pod wasn't too bad to clip in place (I can reach if I stand on tippy toe and pull down slightly!)
I usually leave it clipped in place and pitch as one. If it has been raining when I pack up, then I tend to unclip it and pack this seperately.

I took the Licata to the Deershed festival at the weekend and I'm off in it again to Sleningford Watermill in about 2 hours!
It really is a cracking little tent.
I was thinking of selling it as I have 7 tents, but can't bring myself to part with it as it's so quick and easy to put up and gives me the space I need!!

I'd recommend the Kairos 400 too if you are still shopping around and not yet set...

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
