Hi, looked at this thread with interest. Presently own the Wynnster mercury 9 tent, which I have to say is excellent, easy to pitch, stands up to mega winds, we also take along a day tent for a cooking/eating tent.
BUT. . . .
looking to go larger as grandma and grandad now coming along camping with us
We are a family of four, 2 adults, 2 children, including 1 disabled child, plus mama & grandad. We like home from home camping, take all but the kitchen sink - all packed into a large trailer - namely our boat!
Usually if 4 of us camp us and kids use 5man bedroom, use 1 room for toilet, storage of towels etc, have 1 bed spare for other stuff for boat, manual and power wheelchair, walking frame, etc.
The one gripe we have with the wynnster mercury 9 is the front door pitch, you get wet if its raining because you have to lean all over the front to get down to the zip.
The camp site where we usually go for a month in summer is at Cornwall - Pentewan Sands - highly recommeded - just had our third visit and will contine to go back every year its so fantastic. This is from a family who never visit the same place twice usually !!
ANYWAY - AS WE SAID - LOOKING TO GO LARGER.
Got a shortlist of tents seen on the internet
Sunncamp Tourist Plus 20XP (400 quid)
Wynnster Antares 17 (500 quid)
Khyam Dakota Family 15 (400 quid)
BUT - as they are all large tents, found it impossible to see any pitched - and all places on net selling them only give outside view - need to see inside really to 'see for ourselves is they are suitable'
Anyone with any advice, preference, information, etc ?
PS - the sunncamp on Mrs R's pics looks good.
Waiting in anticipation!
Lesley
