Thanks everyone !!! hubby has just read all these posts and is grinning from ear to ear !!!!  I believe I have just lost the argument.

I have to say I didn't think there were so many couples using the BL6 !!!

we have a new polycotton 6 berth & we bought it with a view to going abroad, just the 2 of us once the boys no longer come, theres only the 4 of us now, we used the extra pod for dressing/storage - we've bought a smaller tent for weekends but fully intend to use the biggy when going for any longer - shes a bitch to put up but well worth it

Have you considered a Trout Lake, you then have Pollycotton & a tent for weekends & longer trips all in one, everyone is happy ( or not).

A tidy camp is a happy camp.

We went in a BL4 at the weekend, loved it. I wouldn't swap your BL for all the tents in China.

Thanks for all the tips everyone, its good to get the feed back from fellow campers.

My dear OH and I have now agreed to keep the BL6 for now until his knees give out completely while doing ZIG (or my back if I do it!)  The deal is we off load the Vango Venture 500 and I get the Carolina 3 (probably not till next years birthday!!)) as a quick pitch for weekends.  Listen to that.........peace in the house at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS  OH is still grinning ear to ear at getting his own way for a change !
