I was bored this morning so went for a meander round GO followed by Camperlands - well what better way to while away a day!
I have finally seen my first Kampa tent in the flesh and I must admit I thought it seemed very nice quality indeed, although I did wonder whether there was enough light and ventilation to make it a pleasant space to be confined, and also I thought it looked as though it might be quite heavy for 1 person to erect. Side by side with a similar size Outwell (Minnesota 4) I thought the Kampa looked better quality but the Outwell was lighter and better ventilated.
The next tent to draw my attention was a Sunncamp Evolution 600 with a canopy. I have never set foot in 1 before for some reason, and I loved the space! It was really light and airy, although I did wonder what on earth you'd do with that part where the walls meet in a sharp V 
I've never really looked in the >£200 ranges before - not in the flesh, so it was interesting to be able to see a very obvious step up in quality. Mesh doors, more windows, ventilation, stronger poles just more attention to detail.
I'm not remotely in the market for a new tent, but if I was, I would now definitely think it worthwhile saving up for a more expensive one, you do clearly get what you pay for.
