Hi wellies we have just decided to opt for the aspen 700 due to size and cost so will be interested to know what others think of it too.

Do a search on the forum - last year someone (sorry i forgot who) did an excellent in-depth review and set of photo instructions on putting one up.

Really nice comfy tent - just, personally, too much to transport for me.

Also have a look at the Sunncamp equivelent, the Oasis, if you like that style.

135cm x 215cm is the size of the smaller bedrooms
or you could make it a two bedroom tent:

1 135cm x 215cm
1 350cm x 215cm (chuck em all in here!)

would that work?

Superb tent, I've just unfortunately sold ours as eldest now has his own tent and we've no room to take both, also we no longer need 3 bedrooms.  Very light and airy tent, every bedroom has it's own window and it has 2 side doors with 2 side windows next to them.  Bags of space, bags of light, very comfortable, tonnes of headroom.  Love that tent, just sad we haven't got the space to transport it in our new car with additonal tent for eldest child. 

I'd say go for it!!!

Hi, Just come back from our first camping trip of the year we bought the Aspen 700 last August and love it. We were wondering what it would be like to erect in the wind with it being very tall, well the great god above must have been listening because when we arrived at the camp site on Monday it was blowing a gale and as we had the children with us we had to enlist their help, my poor 9 year old was being lifted off his feet as he tried desperately to cling on to the corner leg of the inner tent, at one point I thought that the tent would take off and end up in the cow field over yonder, anyway once we had the legs in place with the pin system and all pegged down, it withstood all the battering that the wind could throw at it and I must say because of the SIG we were warm as toast inside with loads of room.
Sorry dont think this really helps you with regards to bedroom space, but I would say go for it!!!

friends of our have one and they love it loads of room and it stood up to strong winds last week. as for transporting it they found it took up too much space in their car so got a cycle carrier and strap it to that it worked brilliantly.

Hi kateboo, i'm intrigued how on earth did they strap it to a cycle carrier, was it one of those that attach to the back of the car or on the roof bars? I must admit that our poor litte ford focus is packed to the rafters, poor kids don't have any space whatsoever, think they are somewhat of an after thought.

the cycle carrier attaches to the back of the car. he was'nt sure it would work but it did with no problems they just tied it on with straps and it was very secure.

Great idea will definately have to give this a go as we have a cycle carrier. We are going to the lakes in July so will try it then thanks for the tip.
