dont think you got much chance of getting the missus to give up a brand new sprite major 6 for a tent!!!

but good luck trying!

Our nephew has just purchased a Vango Delta 300+ which seems to have adequate space in it and storage at either end.

Here is a link to see it

Vangos are a reputable brand and having seeing it erected it seems to be of the usual Vango standard and reasonably solid and it is also within your budget.

Good luck in your search

We have had a couple of caravans but can't say that they were greatly better than a tent, just different to. Actually, we found that they were brilliant for overnights if doing a long-haul trip but, once on site,  became just the bedroom; we lived, cooked and ate outside in all but the worst weather conditions, so it seemed logical to go back to a tent (after all, what is an awning but a glorified tent?).

hi if it's just u why don't you look at decatholon pop up 3 person tent for around £60, they say it only take 3 seconds and i have seen it done in store and it looks fab. we would buy two but we have just started fostering so the kids need to be close by.

hope this is of some help.

Me being a tent virgin ( well thats not strictly true but it was years ago and... lets not go there) I could well go for the pop up option. Won't this blow away or does it have guy ropes aswell.

Also where should I go to purchase these reputable makes. I only know of millets or Yeomans and I don't klnow whether thest places are expensive or not. Alsao do tents have to be ordered in advance or do they tend to be in stock.

I live on the outskirts of stoke-on-trent but can travel to a store if it saves me enough money.

How much are stoves by the way?
