We decided to take up camping a couple of years ago so we didnt want to leave our beloved family member in the kennel for a week so we have used a Sunncamp Invader 600 which has been fantasic abit a couple of issues with the door zip and putting it up many times in wet windy conditions.

Did decided to upgrade to the Sunncamp Vario for the SIG then we got talking about Frame tents, my first trip was from 6months old and 2/3 times a year untill I was 13 in a canvas frame after many happy memories we have picked up easycamp mykonos 6 for £75 which has been used a couple of times from new, fantasic condition, they even ironed and washed the curtains and roof lining before pick up and gave us the groundsheet which wasnt included.

CANNOT WAIT TO USE IT :O) Also need a small shopping spree ;o)

Actually found it on preloved. We kept looking on ebay and watched loads of different frame tents all going for 200 plus. You tend to get the people who just see them taking up space and wanting rid without the hassle of ebay. We store ours in trailor at our mother inlaw spare garage so plently of room for all ours (actually tent number 3 at the moment, we also have a gelert plus 4 for weekends also still got our invader but will be getting rid as we have to many now. I just love it, its like a house with a consevotry and perfect for the dog as means we can get in dry him all off then let him in for to the main drying area. Last easter we had a VERY weekend in a boggy campsite up north and our invader carpet was ruined by the end of it and everything was wet by the time we got through the door wet with muddy wellies.
