The last couple of times we have been away for the weekend, a Mercedes or a BMW has driven in, and the driver and passenger have had the smallest two person tent its possible to have. They have had a tent and a couple of chairs and a small camp stove. Then you see a Fiat Punto or a Renault Clio crammed to the gills with gear.
I couldn't contemplate even a weekend with a tent I couldn't sit inside. What happens if it rains - do you go to bed at 7pm because you've nowhere else to sit?
These big cars have huge boots - there's lots of space for a bigger tent, so what's the story?
lol this will be like us when we start to camp! although it will be a small 4 person tent in our case. with 4 passengers emerging from the Mercedes 
our reason is that we have never camped before,so dont wish to spend lots of £££s on a tent etc
if we like it then we will upgrade.and have a trailer for all the extra equipment too
