Can anyone recommend a smallish tent with a SIG? Looking at Coleman Weathermaster, Montana 4, Wynnster Hawk 4, etc, but they are all a bit big as it may only be me using it much of the time. I would like something slighty smaller albeit one with reasonable space to sit in. All suggestions welcomed or should I just buy one of the others and hope it doesn't look too big for 1 person!

There are some photos of the Yale in my blog space. The address is in my gallery images. There are plenty of interior shots so you will get an idea of the size.

Forgot to say welcome to UKCS.

Of course I totally agree with Elaine about the Weathermaster Plus, but a really interesting tent (and much lighter) is the SunnCamp Evolution 400. This is stated as a 4 person (for that, read 3 person) semi geodesic design, which should be pretty good in high winds. Importantly it has a "stand up in" bedroom, a good size living space with windows, and with a SIG.(Oh, and it's only 12Kg with an HH of 3000).

It's in this years Towsure catalogue or www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com . Looks good to me!

We've got the Sunncamp Evolution 400. It takes 10 mintues to pitch and as Rob says, you can stand up in it in both the living and bedroom areas.

We did have intial problems with the tent re: water coming in through the zips, but after emailing Sunncamp we have hopefully resolved the issue and we are very happy with this tent as it meets all our requirements.

Good luck with your search!

Sunncamp Ventura I think has a SIG.

The other thing, as there is only you, is just get a 4-5 person dome tent where there is just the main inner (with SIG) and just a small porch - something like an EasyCamp Torino 500 (cheap too).

So what was the solution?

Would this solution also work for the Evoulation 600? (the "spaceship tent")
