Long-time browser, first-time poster. I'm hoping someone can help out - I'm after a tent similar to the Coleman Rock Springs 4, which seems to be a) unavailable, and b) not very well-reviewed for quality issues.

My tick-list is relatively light weight (the CRS4 is 6kg), reasonable standing height (140cm for the CRS4), room for two plus plenty of gear (so a 4-berth is ideal), and - most difficult to find - a front *and* a rear porch. The two porches are for storing muddy gear, and for better ventilation as you can have both doors open for airflow, so a front and a side door don't quite hit the mark. CRS4 layout link below.

Is there anything similar on the market? Any advice very gratefully received. Cheers! Carlos

It's a shame the Vango Halo doesn't come in a 400 size, I have the 3 person size and you might want to look at the spec just in case it's along the right lines. Go for last years model to cut down the price, there's barely any changes. I got a 2013 model last year for £140

Hey Mack84; cheers for the research - I spotted it on their site too, though it was the number of poor reviews I found online for it that put me off.

Cheers!

Cheers Zacholt - that looks close to what I'm after. It's a bit lower than I'd ideally want, but a great back-up option.
Thanks!
Carlos

A Halo 400 would be the Holy Grail - the 300 would be just that bit too snug, Campernic - we do five nights at Glastonbury with a Millet's store-worth of kit (and a little drink, of course) so it'd be a real squeeze. Cheers, though - at least I'm finding out that there *are* two-porch tents out there that tick most of my boxes!

Look at this company, based in Germany so wait til the Euro is good. I ordered a Bell Tent from them last year and P&P for a big heavy tent was €15, not too bad I thought.

The Wild Country Zephyros 3 is standing height, under 5kg, and has two entrances and a huge porch area. It's pricey (£209) but is high spec materials with alloy poles and a 4000hh flysheet.
