I'm a terrible decision maker, worlds worse. I've been to go outdoors and lifted some tents at 45kg which I could lift anything else I wouldn't be able to unaided.
I've got finance 0% for 12 months which I didn't think I get in a million years. If I do cancel I want to still go through my options. I've trawled the Internet and can't see any offers that match them. They will honour the NEC price as well.
I know I want inflatable, descent space too. Min of 3 pods. I'm waiting for a call back regards the vango if the porch has a footprint. Or is it bare. Don't think I fancy grass porch.
Feeling a bit more relaxed now I've measured my boot for the tent and lifted them at 45kg

Job done....if you can lift it you can lift out of the boot, park the car next to where you pitch job done, you have exhausted all avenues and you have a great tent for your family long term.

It's a lot of money to part with but I can see this as an investment, the extra pod is something we have in 1 of our tents for our eldest, however we are likely going for an inflatable 2016/17 with a similar layout.

Keep it simple for your first camp and camp close to where you live, enjoy the first pitch and see what you can fit in and what wasn't needed.

If the porch doesn't come with a groundsheet you could just buy a bit of tarp close to the measurement required and trim if necessary.

Which tent do you have at the moment?

Do you have 4 pods in your current tent?

Probably go to Alton star camp site for 2 as we have Merlin passes. So we can go to Alton towers. About a 50 min drive away.

Could do, the other 2 tents have a smooth walkway which I like and that I can fully open the doors if I want or half open if I want. Only bonus is its rivendale is 33kg.
