hi there,

cant make up my mind between 600 and 900, there are only two of us, but also two biggish dogs, and our grandson who will be coming camping with us next year.

My question is will we be able to put larger one up with two people, how long roughly does it take, and will we have problems, say on sites with marked out pitches with this size. I know i dont need the bigger one, but i really like the look of it.

The 600 will be PLENTY big enough for you all  You are only getting an extra bedroom with the 900. Masses of space for dogs in inner or porch

Hi lorrnev,

 

I would recommend the 900 even if it’s only for you & the dogs. Our mutt settles better in his own pod and the extra pod also doubles up as a storage/ changing room.

 

As far as I can tell they are virtually identical to put up, except the extra pod of course. After only 3 or 4 attempts it only takes the 2 of us 45 mins or so.

I would go with what Andra555 says. We bought our 600 when there was only 3 of us, and everytime we used we hankered after the 900.

If you can afford the extra for the 900 go for the 900, better to have an unused lsleping pod, that wish you had bought the 900. The footprint is almost the same, as are the packed up tent.

It used to take me 45 minutes by myself to put up the tent, and I can't see the 900 being any different.
