we have a 10 berth and there are 5 of us!  i want to upgrade to a Outwell, but can't find one that offers us what our Kalahari 10 does!   would certainly not go any smaller!

There's always going to be someone who'll tell you what sort of tent you want or should have, that's invariably different from the one you've got!

Their comments are casual, so feel free to casually ignore them.

We have an 8 berth for 2 adults and 2 kids; we decided to 'go large' so that there would be room inside for the kids when the weather was not so good.

Mine is "Mahoosive" asmy daughter says... loads of living space.  There are just four of us and two nights ago it was just me and OH.  I was happy but he thought we needed a smaller tent for the two of us.  Amazing really, as he never wanted to go camping in the first place! lol x

Really doesn't matter what others think of your choice of tent or your reasons for buying it does it?  As far as I'm aware there is no rule that says your must only have room for you and your anorak inside the tent!  We have pushed the boat out and gone for a Wolf Lake 7 for 2 big uns and 3 little uns, yes it is very heavy and takes up my whole boot but it's worth it as kids drive me batty even in somthing that size, i think they would destroy anything smaller and flimsier.  I know bigger is better as even my wife, who was raised on Mediteranian hotels, is happy now and she was a very grumpy camper with our old tent!
