I have a 4m bell tent and i can tell you without a doubt - you have nothing to worry about re pitch sizes

The definition does vary by campsite but no one views a 4m wide tent as big and its the best tent in the world

enjoy

Many thanks bedgar!! Not sure how I missed your post earlier on!  

Great news...we'll be ordering v v soon...

And thanks everyone else for their helpful comments...

Well that's it! Odered!!

We were going to splash on one with heavier canvas, but they were all out of stock so after discussions we decided to get the lighter one from the dutch website...

Can't wait. First expected use is 12th june...

Many thanks to everyone.

Hi Kruisler

was just browsing looking for info on bell tents and came across your post.  We are in exactly the same position, sounds like we have a similar vw to you (westfalia set up ) and 2 children who are rapidly outgrowing the bus for sleeping arrangements.  We have just come back from a fantastic week in Eweleaze farm in Dorset where there were all manner of bell tents (space absolutley NO problem here, no fussy pitch sizes just how we like it!).  Anyway we are also considering buying a bell tent for next year - when I first looked at them I was surprised at the price, they seem too cheap and my husband agrees, thinking that we should go for the heavier weight fabric - just curious as to which you went for and how you are getting on with it, would love to hear!

Happy camping!
