Can anyone help, its a mad jungle out here when it coming to buying a tent. Only myself and hubby to go camping and want a good tent with larger bedroom as we are both very tall, and a walk in area would be handy with a nice place to sit in the evenings inside if raining, have to remember we are in the UK! We have looked into the Biarritz 6, and have worked out what is what with a lot of help from this site. Can anyone suggest what other tents we should take a look at? all help will be gratefully received being newbies and all............

Many thanks, Deborah

Steel pole tents stand up to the wind better but are heavier and bulkier. (Like the Outwell Minnesota). Nothing wrong with that if you have the luggage space.

Alternative glass fibre poled options:

Outwell Arizona

Sunncamp Evolution 400

Have seen both these and they seem pretty good. Like the Sunncamp as it has a sewn in groundsheet (SIG)
