whilst no stranger to camping, I am a family camping novice. I'm looking to buy an tunnel style tent for the family (wife, 2 kids and myself)on a budget of around £800 or £1000 from Cotswold (I can get 20% discount). Ideally, I'd like an inflatable as there will be periods in the summer where I will be camping without my wife, so straightforward pitching is important.
I'd looked at the Outwell cruiser 6AC or Flagstaff 6A but there are no reviews of either yet. My wife pretty much ruled out Vango as she'd prefer to be able to join all bedrooms together whilst the children are young. I'd also looked at Kampa croyde and Hayling but ruled them out due to them being bigger than I'd like.
any suggestions would be really appreciated and if anyone has experience with either the Cruiser or Flagstaff, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
thanks in advance,
Mick

Hi Zacksdad,welcome to the forum, I had a look at the FLAGSTAFF 6A last week, l had an Kampa Hayling 4, and I could put that up on my own, remember Air tents are Easyer to erect,than other tents.
Things to consider,its a big wide tent,if you pack away wet will you be able to erect it at home, to dry it out.
Is the weight OK.
Will it fit in your car.
Having said that,it is a well made tent, and I am going to buy the FLAGSTAFF 5a because there is only me and my wife, when we camp, and the Flagstaff 6A is to big and heavy for me.
I don't know anything about the Cruiser, but it looks a bit big to erect on your own,hope this helps.
key West.
P.S. You must see it before you buy it.
