Hi

What about one of those things you put up in ya garden for weddings, not sure of spelling but think its a Marquee. You could have a look in Loot to see if there are any Circus Big Tops for sale, I think either of these would be big enough to fit everything in.

I know I'm being sarcastic, but I dont care "WE JUST HELD SWEDEN TO A 2-2 DRAW, AND NOW WE DONT HAVE TO PLAY GERMANY IN THE OPENING ROUND, YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAA.

No, not decided at all, but now have plenty of tents to look at. The plan is to hang on until the end of the season and try and pick up a cheapy bargainous one, though if we end up going for the Nebraska XXL (which is looking like the favourite at the moment) we may not get one in the sale as I'm not sure there will be any, so may have to wait and pay full whack in 2007. We'll see. Our littlest is only 2 and she still prefers to snuggle in with us at the moment so this summer isn't too much of an issue.

Think lateral. Kids don`t need airbeds. Only old creaky adults like me need airbeds. Kids are perfectly happy on self inflating mats, which are 50cm wide btw. ......


Agreed. And can I point out that I must be less old and creaky than Val in at least some respects as I still  my thermarest and have no desire whatsoever for an airbed! MT

I like my thermarest, but it is 75cm wide!

you might find this one good for you.
clickey to have a look at it.
Wynnster Mercury 9 XL
the only thing that's missing is that although the pods are sig the living area is not. That is the only thing that's though.
There is one huge pod at one end that you could fit your all your single beds in and still have space.
There are two smaller pods which you should be able to fit a double airbed in, meaning you'll have a spare pod. The living area is big and it has a front and rear canopy. There are windows either side of the front and rear doors and if you get the 2006 version there are also more windows on the pod areas of the tent. Anyway have a look and see what you think. I've got one and am really impressed with it.

We got a Nebraska XL - it has two large pods at each end which can be divided by 2. So you can fit 3 single air beds in one end, one double in one half of the other end and leave the other half for storage. Also has a large living area and a very large porch - and a SIG!
