Hi everyone :)
I used to come on here a lot, we were very much into camping and had a Outwell Maryland but we had to sell it all as we moved house and had nowhere to store everything. Gradually the older kids werent interested and so we have been using caravans. More recently 4 of our 6 children have shown an interest in camping again and we have more storage now we in a bigger house so I want to buy a tent!
I would like to buy a good size one but not massive, just big enough as we used to struggle to get on some campsites plus we used to stress about errecting it. I want to be able to stand up but I am not worried about having a huge space as most of the time we all sit in same area anyway. So any ideas on what would be good for us, hoping that if we get back into it properly we can maybe buy something a bit more expensive next year, this is more of a test if that makes sense xx

are we nearly there yet??

I would but as we home educate we can just up and go whenever so was hoping that we could get out regular (partner self employed as well). Want one we can grab and go if that makes sense.
I am pretty sure they will love it, they used too it was my now 15 and 17 year old daughters that didnt but they can stay home lol

Many people rave about the kampa range and the vango range.

I like my royal athens - but it's not a light easy transported tent.

Do you have a lot of boot space?
