Tents are like ready meals, if it says enough for 4 on the pack you know it is enough for 2.

I think I'd sleep two in a popup or cheap dome tent in the living area, and probably move the little tent out of the way during the day. MT

Peggybabcot    what a great idea I see in your gallery  a sheet of tinfoil pinned to the tent wall funny how simple ideas are the best I would never have thought of that will be doing that next year thats what I love about this site everyone has something to offer.  We have the Sunncamp vario 600 plus. and there's only two of us with two small dogs we use the big pod to sleep in and don't put the small up just use it for wardrobe and storage.

Darcydog, it's attached using clips from the pound shop but does protect the tent from any splashes. Cheap and cheerful!

You buy a pup tent.

Incidentally, I looked at that tinfoil arrangement in your profile pix. Have to say you'd be x100 safer if you bought a kitchen stand with a wrap round metal windshield for that arrangement. Tinfoil would not help a lot in the event of a gas flare.

The kitchen stand does have a wrap around outwell windshield you just can't see it too well in the photo, the tin foil was an added extra to stop anything getting on the tent wall.

I have fitted 3 x 11 year old boys in the 160cm wide bedrooms of our Vango Quest by using thermarest mats that are 50cm wide, with picnic rugs to cover the floor too, so that there are no cold gaps between mats if they rolled off. You can get double self inflator mats too like this Vango one on Ebay HERE.
