Hi

i only want it to cook in and put a larder in as we have a large frame tent so we sit in the sun porch part of that.Thats why i have not looked for a day tent.

I bought the khyam day tent £45.00 from outdoor megastore

Very impressed very large easy to put up and back in the bag first time

We've just bought that utility tent.  Looking forward to using it for the first time.  We just bought a diablo 900, and will use the utility tent to cook in.

We have the Sunncamp Handy utility tent, we use to cook and store things when we do not use the awning on our T T for short stopovers.

Love it .........  really good

We also use the Sunncamp Handy utility, which is , by the way, identical to the model that you mention. We find it a fantastic way to cook out of the weather as well as storing the odds and bits that you don't need in the main tent.

I know that many people swear by day tents, mainly because of their size. But we found that we are already lugging a bulky heavy tent, and did not want yet another big load in the car. At only 7.5kg, the utility is no great stain on the car suspension.

Also, with the main tent, there is plenty of room in there to live and eat, negating the need for a day tent. By the way, I am not anti day tent or anything as they are very useful bits of kit, but they just lack practicallity for some with the large(ish) size and weight as opposed to a utility tent.

Hi

Thanks for the advice i bought the Peakland utility tent yesterday.

cheers
