Ooops, I have 5 tents, just been counting; First one, a cheapo from Argos, bought it, to see if we like camping. Quickly learnt the disadvantages of a single skin tent. Number 2 tent, is a Vango Oregan 400 upgrade, now retired. number 3, Blacks Constellation 2 series, for those quick weekends away, and if I'm camping on my own. number 4, Sigma 300 as a pup tent, when I had the Vango Oregon. number 5, My new one is the Neveda M, replacing the Vango. On my next trip, I will be taking the Neveda M for my Sis for a couple nights, which then I will move into when sis and niece and nephew have gone. I will be using the Constellation with my DS. If touring Soctland at some point, it will be this tent. heath63

Angie,
I totally see what you are saying, and up to this point, I couldn't see the sense of having separate tents for weekends and long-stays. However, having just purchased a tent that may well take twice as long to erect, and five times as long to dry out, if we have to strike camp in the rain, I feel it sensible, for now at least, to keep hold of the Icarus. With the extension, there is little difference in the sizes, but I can get the Icarus up in my garden, should I need to dry it. I have no chance with my new Filey.
I probably shouldn't have used the term "weekend tent" in all honesty, as I had one eye on the weather, rather than the clock.
Hopefully, I will never use the Icarus again, as first impressions with the Filey are A1, but I may have to consider the Filey more as a "fairweather tent".
I also agree that justification is unnecessary, but it's still nice to talk...... particularly on a forum, and particularly in direct response to the OP.
