Dilemna time...

We currently have a big 8 man tent, which is too big to use for a couple of nights away.

We have a 'weekend' tent - that I'd use for 1 or 2 nights, which is an Outwell Montana 4 with canopy (no sides).

However, I keep looking at the Quechua 4.2 and wondering if that would be better.

DH hates setting up and packing away, and also airing tents afterwards, so it's me who does all of this.

What would you do?

allthough ive never seen one in the flesh the ease of pitching has allways apealed to me....

alas its to small for us

if you think you would get away more in it i say go for it

I don't think we'd go away any more, just maybe have less hassle setting up, and airing it if needs be.

Currently we all sleep in one pod together, and the kids like this, so perhaps the separate rooms wouldn't be so good for us.

Maybe the 4.1 would be better....

I don't know about the 4.1 but the 4.2 has a ground sheet that you put down first   that has a flat bit each end that the bedroom pods sit on which have a sewn in sig  and the middle of the ground sheet has vertical bits that velcro to the inside of the middle section of the tent   they only vecro in the corners and in the middle of the sides so they are not wind proof but they will keep water out

 Hope I have explained it ok

 Ps they are a cracking tent so easy to put up and pack away even for an old fart like me
