Hey all,
Well, I've been lurking around the site for a few weeks now and with your collective help have gone and bought a Vango Sungari 600 for myself, OH and three kids (9, 8 and 4 all boys).
Now, we need the next most important thing, beds and bags. I am pretty sure I want to go down the SI route with synthetic bags. This will be the first time camping for OH and kids, I have been before in my youth. I want to make sure everyone enjoys themselves and I want them to want to go again and I know a freezing three nights will not do that!
Problem is budget. I have spent around £300 on the tent and need to get the rest of my gear for about a similar amount. I hate buying cheap gear because I know invariably it will not do the task you need it to but I can't affor to go out there and buy £80 3season bags for everyone with Therm-a-rest SI mats.
So, my question is (finally, they all say!) what do I get. Millets have a Vango Horizon 3season bag half price at £30 which seems to be the best offer i've seen so far but they seem to be the only people selling that particular bag which then makes me feel its one of those dodgy "Sports Direct" type offers. Argos do the Gelert SI mats which I have heard mixed reviews about. Then I start thinking I should get a £5 airbed from tesco each and just get on with it.
All in all I'm totally confused as to what to do. I've spent the last week staring at sleeping bags of all prices and not knowing what to get. My kids love the outdoors, we have spent the last three years holidaying at haven sites in caravan but spend all our time out on walks and rambles. I'm sure they will love camping but I just don't have money to burn.
I hope I can get some sound advice from some of you.
Many thanks in advance.

The kids are all young so will probably sleep on anything. but what about these
For you and OH this is a great bed, very comfy and a good price (we have this one and love it)
Make your own sleeping bag liners from old duvet covers or sheets (dont have to be a seamstress , they are easy)
Sleeping bags, well that depends what time of year you are going etc
Hope this helps
