I have to disagree QUONG, all  of the above mentioned brands are well known, good quality manufacturers who consistently produce good tents.  If you search for any of the three mentioned previously you will find many satisfied customers, myself included, I couldn't want for better tents than any of my 3 wynnsters.

Courvoisier defo, every time!  With a splash of ginger ale, which unfortunately I don't have at the moment, not even a drop of lemonade in the house and can't drink it neat, need some bubbles!

Hi,
You mention three brands. Gelert, Wynnster and Sunncamp.
Sunncamp is a premium brand using higher quality of materials and build. The Sunncamp has 'X Flex' shaterproof poles with a five year guarantee, it uses higher quality fabrics with more theads per inch, Pegging and guying points are either bar tacked or flagged stiched on with thick 'oxford' fabric reinforcing. You are not comparing like for like, if you want quality go for sunncamp or outwell. Incidentally the Family Vario is now a fully sewn in groundsheet to the fly.

All three makes do higher end, higher specification tents and lower-end cheaper tents. You really need to compare tents with tents.

As alreayd said, I think you can trust any of these makes - look more at the tents, when you compare.

In addition to the helpful advice on here we spoke with a couple of dealers; there seems to be a consensus that the Sunncamp is better quality than Gelert/Royal, but is difficult to get specifics. In the end, bearing in mind our minimal usage and the significant price premium, for a smaller tent, we went with the Gelert.

We bought online from Tentman; although it hasn't arrived yet, I am impressed with their approach so far. Without giving too much away, they had made an error on their webpage, but volunteered to stand by it. I'm sure that many retailers would have looked to get out of the situation.

Off now to look at reviews of campsites in the new forest
