Hi all. New to this site but not new to camping. Have been camping on and off for the last twenty years. Thought I would join up and introduce myself:)
Currently own three tents, a Gelert pop up two man, a Eurohike Avon 3 man and a recently purchased Royal Cuban 6 which I bought with a friend.
I need to upgrade my Avon as it is in need of retirement and have been looking at the Sunncamp Elan 200. I have four children, although my older two are getting to the age they no longer want to camp:( I have the Cuban for when we all together. I wanted a new tent for when it is just my younger two would be coming with me but more often than not, just me and my daughter who is 7. I know the Elan is small and have viewed it at the local camping shop, however we have camped all 3 of us in the Avon no problems.
For the times that I take both my youngest, I would have them sleep in the bedroom pod and I would sleep in the living area on a campbed, which would be taken down during the day, I am quite hardy so don't think the cold would bother me with adequate bedding. I love the space and height that the Elan offers and it will be perfect for those times I get to camp alone:) Wishful thinking!
I took the kids abroad for the first time this year and although they had a great time, the cost (over £2000) just can't be justified!! Also the waiting around and airport madness wasn't worth it! So we are going back to camping again.
Although we camped for the first time this year with EHU, I am a fan of not having it so that you have more choice about where you stay. A lot of my kit needs replacing within the next year so I am looking around for good deals.
I do fancy a new fridge (not electric) any suggestions? We normally camp for shortish stays but next year I am looking to get away more often, for longer and further afield!
I have waffled on but any input about good non electric kit would be greatly appreciated before I empty my bank account:)

Ok for whoever gets in first...............I really wanted to buy this as a spare just in case, cos I like this tent so much:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270795633727&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI
Selling at £99 OMG what a great bargain..
The seller might even take an offer as it has been for sale a while. (I have had it on a watch list 3 times)
Oh and the bed in my pod is the XL sunncamp folding bed. Great nights sleep and at 60 yo do not want to be getting up of an airbed...
