I consider that my tent is perfect in every way (just like you all do) but..........

It is a six berth, set up with 2 bedrooms of 3berth.

In my dreams I'd like to have 3 bedrooms of 2 berths

I assume that the manufacturers go for the former option because of cost 

My Idea is that they could make the 3x2 bed pod separately, so the customer had an option.

Yep 3 x 2 would suit us better,1 for us,1 for kids and 1 for stuff or 1 each for the kids.Cost wise it's 1 extra divider panel.

It sounds to me that you need a new tent. Just do a search for tents with 3 bedrooms and go from there.

There are tents out there for that capacity? usually a 9berth split into 3x3 as we all know 3 man is really 2 man.. so i'm not sure what your issue is as there are tents out there with that spec just not the tunnel variety.

Your requirements are just why we went for Vango's version of the Montana 6 - the 2009 Columbia 600, exactly the same spec but with some added features including a 2/3 bedroom option. The extra inner we use as storage.

You can always create your own in the form of optional divider(s) - by sewing some toggles inside the existing inner and getting some tent fabric from one of the specialist suppliers - lightweight and flame retardant. Hem and add elastic with rings to match the toggles. Not as good as a zipped divider, but certainly works.

I've made a whole host of modifications to our tents over the years to make them just that little bit better for us...
