Hi There,

What tent could i get for under £150 which is a bit smaller than a Vango Colorado 600 and has a sealed and built in groundsheet and living area. I am selling my tent as i have now got a smaller car and cutting down on the kit we take.

PS: Any tent show rooms in the midlands area

Many Thanks

Well our Vango Colorado 600 tent we have had for about 11 month. Its a very good tent but as we only live in a flat and dont have much storage space we wanted to cut down on things. Also as our new car is smaller to.

Chris

Well its only for me and my partner, I think it will be for short stays and maybe a one week holiday this year

The Sunncamp Evolution 400 is about two-thirds the weight/pack size of your Colorado. http://www.campersandleisure.co.uk/p-detail.asp?pid=330.

One generous bedroom, sewn in groundsheet, flysheet first erection, stylish design and all for £105 at Towsure! http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/product.asp?p=9415

NB I have never seen one of these tents up as they are a new development this year but they look great to me and Sunncamp are a reputable make. MT

Has anyone used the above tents and is there any others out there

Many Thanks

Chris

Don't know about the Colorado, but our 2nd tent is the Khyam / Campus Yale tent. You can erect it in 15 mins and it has full sewn-in groundsheet. Got ours for £99 online.  I have a pic of it on my gallery images - the tunnel one. Plus you can stand up in it throughout.

Campus have been taken over by Khyam - and the new 2006 Khyam Yale has more windows but is £150.

Claire,

the Sunncamp Evolution 400 Looks nice, I dont think you could cook inside the inner living area or not

Chris

I have also been reading on the web about the Khyam / Campus Yale tent, I have found one for £99.00 online. I am not sure which one to go with now.

I do want to see the tents in a shop but not sure on any near Leicester who stock this

Chris

Hey Chris.

Yeomans have a show on just off the M1 J25 at the moment.  Went down there last week and there's loads of tents on display.  Maybe it's not to far from Leicester?

Maybe the Peakland Stanedge will be suitable at just over your budget?

Do you know if they have any of the Khyam / Campus Yale tents or The Sunncamp Evolution on show

Chris

I have phoned towsure up today and they said they have some The Sunncamp Evolution 400 in stock. I then asked them if there is any on display and i was told no. So i asked if there is any chance that one would be on display in the next week and they told me that they cannot display the tent for me. I was not happy with the service over the phone so i said i would go someware else
