Ok I admit it, I do have tent envy now I've seen Val's Alice in wonderland tent.

Or maybe its Artist and courage envy as that tent is way too small for us, but I daren't do thet to our 5m bell although I would love to if they weren't so expensive.

don't blame you! I'm not going to deface the 5m either!

Only painted the 4m as it was £170, and even then i was thinking 'is this such a good idea??' once the first paint splodge went on it..

Gets a bit addictive though, finished the 3m now and thinking what can i paint now...

OK I would kill for a VW campervan - one of those where the roof lifts up - wanted one since childhood.
Love Vla's bell tents - but I don't really get tent envy - probably because, hopefully, I have a tent to suit all needs - from camping in the gerden to a couple of weeks away.

However, I do like looking around camping stores looking at tents - my excuse is that I can see what people are talking about when they talk about their tents onhere.

i thought i did untill i saw the outwell vermont xl that i loved so well and realised it was just too big for me.....im only 5ft it would only take a gust of wind aqnd me and the tent would be off

i have just sold my khyam ontario 8 as i wanted something more practical for our needs and am buying a lovely vango maritsa 600 and so now i wont have any tent envy because im in love with the vango......well until i find something else

so its not just me who walks around sites admiring tents. The sad thing is I can name most of them

I just love all my tents, and am perfectly happy with them, and don't envy other people's a bit.

I would still like an up-to-date tent for overnight stays which is bigger than the little two-man domes and smaller than the Aztec Galeria 4, with room for two to sit in chairs in the evening, but I can't see OH running with that one!  He likes the space in the Galeria, but we do find it a little big for a quick whizz away.

We have a 40-year old nameless blue ridge, which I would just love to take camping again, but OH is scared of it because last time we used it (in 1984!) the rain was biblical, and we were washed away! 

Half a can of Fabsil, and it'll be as good as any Vango, Outwell or Cabanon in the world! (Well, I love it, anyway! )

The only thing I ever envy on a campsite is a VW camper. One day
