Hi,

We live in Lincolnshire and are thinking about buying our first tent, as after seeing some of the pics on here, we have a fear of borrowing my parents and ripping it or worse. does anyone know of anywhere in, or near, lincolnshire where we can go and have a look at some tents that have been put up to see the size and practicality of them before we decide.

thanks

Lisa

Cant help you with regards to where to look but I do strongly advise you to go and visit lots of tent shops and see them on display first.

I recently went to a camping exhibition nearby and it was excellent walking in and out of the tents looking at them. The difference doing that and just looking at them on line is unbeleivable. I urge you to go and look before you buy!!!

Good Luck!

If in doubt, do it anyway!!!!!!

Hi

Yes i strongly advise you to go and have a look at some exhibitions, if you do a google search for camping exhibitions you should find some. Thats what i did and i went near Biddolph middle of May and had a look at an exhibition, found it highly helpful.

I was interested in the Vango Vail off the internet and i telephoned round loads of people who didn't have the tent on display but they did at this exhibition, when i got there i was disappoointed with the Vango for my personal needs and ended up buying a totally different tent. So i strongly recommend you see them up and erected.
