Hi

How abourt a hartord xl i think they go or that money have a look at the linkhartord xxl club to see how many of us have got them

What about the Vango Vista 800, it's a super tent, loads of head room in living area & bedrooms, and sig throughout. I've seen it for £299 at Go Outdoors, I know it's a bit more than your budget, but for a family of five I think it's the perfect tent. Everyone will have a personal opinion, my advice would be to go and see one erected first.

Happy hunting.

hi. thanks for the ideas. have seen a small display of tents but we're in kent and there are not many places to look. would you say the vango is a beta option then a coleman columbus. i really appreciate all the help and advice i get. also is the vista a very heavy tent to transport

I have a Coleman Canyon and can vouch for its superb quality and roominess (and its compact when packed away). I can't comment on the Columbus, but I know it's a popular tent. Yes, you're right the Vango is a very cumbersum tent to transport if you don't have a lot of room.

Hopefully someone else will be along to help with you with the Columbus.

Don't think anyone has suggested the Campus Indiana 8?

We considered it, but have decided on the Yale for 5 of us weekend camping.

thanks. i know it looks good .do you think it would be a prob not to have sig in living area. have u seen the yale  and do yopu think it would be too small for us.

we have 3 girlswho are not keen on insects thats why i thought a sig throughout may be a good bet

thanks 

I have yet to see the Yale in the flesh. Ordered it yesterday!

We are first timers. Our kids are 2 girls (6 and 5 next month) and a boy (3). we intend putting them all in one sleeping area.

Not sure about the lack of SIG, but there's a thread at the top of this board giving the pros and cons.

Hi George, we bought an Indiana 8 berth tent just a month ago, to meet up with some of our relatives for the weekend. The four bedrooms & living area are very spacious indeed, plenty of room for putting your table & chairs inside, in case of rain!

We only used it the one night & are now taking delivery of a Conway Cruiser F/C & therefore selling the tent! 

We paid £200.00 for it, but not sure what to sell it for! Here's a picture of it, although we bought it from a camp shop in Woburn.
