In the search for the perfect tent we want something to fit 2 adults 3 young girls extras like inflatable couch for the wife, easy to pich cool in the sun and can take a battering from the weather and fit on a normal pitch .

The perfect tent you describe is a large frame tent  A spacious living area, very easy to pitch (I've pitched our 13'5"x17'5" Cabanon on my own), cool in the sun (& warmer in cold weather), can certainly take more of a battering than most modern tents, and it's the right shape to fit on a normal pitch. There you are, problem solved

I haven't found a cure for my obsession yet, and all the tents I've got are perfect for different types of holiday, so you will probably end up with at least three or four perfect tents too. Good luck

There does come a time when you find a tent you love, have the set up that works for you and really don't need anything else.....but it takes a while, and even when you have it, you don't stop looking.

I've got almost everything that I want, (an extension is the only thing I want), and definitely everything I need (there is a huge difference) but I have still managed to acquire 2 tents I don't need but had to have as they were such bargains (£10 and £35 respectively!) They will get used tho and that's the main thing!

There really is no hope once you get the camping bug, tent envy is one of the worst symptons, as is slippery finger when looking at goods that have been mentioned on here!

Good luck with your illness....and welcome to the world of tentaholics

I was exactly the same UNTIL last year when we brought our hi gear corado 10,it is fantastic ! Best tent ever...we took it to France last year and so many people asked to have a look inside,we have four bedrooms and only 2 kids so they have there own room each and we have a dressing room...oh get us....which I put a hanging rail in when we go for long periods.so excited about unpacking my old friend again this year.
