Ok folks ... thanks to your exellent previous advice i have now found both these tents for similar money ........ I have a real dilemma now as no-one local to me seems to stock this range (i appreciate bad tiime of year)

Anyway i notice the Tourer 200 retails at a higher price than the freelander ... Is it a better tent. Looking for something quick & easy to put up for trip round europe with my wife this year, able to stand up in with an element of "comfort".

What would you go for ??

Good & bad points on either & personal experiences would be really good.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi
I would go for the tourer 200 as its square and standing room is good .
On the freelander you can only stand up in the middle .

I think it depends on your priorities (as ever)!

The Freelander would be cheaper, lighter, take up less room in the car and would be quicker to put up and take down. The Tourer would be more spacious and so more comfortable once it was up. MT

I would go for the Tourer, if you have space in your car.

Thanks for this link, I've just bought a Tourer 200 from here, quick service - ordered Friday delivered today. It also had a groundsheet included which I wasn't expecting. Haven't had chance to practise putting it up yet, am hoping for a dry weekend.
