We have a Outwell Arizona L 2005 model, which is just about right for the two of us. The 2006 model is slightly larger with a bigger living/porch space which would be handy, but we spend most of the time with the main door up like a canopy. It's really easy to pitch - only 3 poles and takes 15 mins ish altogether. The standing room in the bedroom is what swung it for us. Top tent!

Hi

I love my Campus (now Kyham) Sherpa 4.  Plenty of room to sleep (we use Vango delux full size self-inflating (yeah right, always need to help with a bit of puff) sleeping mats) and there is plenty of room left for baggage.

Also there is enough room to cook etc in rough weather in the front bit. Three doors really help when the weather switches direction.  Although you cannot stand up, I have found the 150cm height okay for dressing and generally moving around and sitting. 

The only thing I have done to enhance my little palace, it add the mud walls to the front (I took them off my old tent) and got some decent pegs.  Leaving the inner tent attached is a real quick way of pitching it,  only has three poles with short sleeves and clips. So pitches in about 15 minutes taking things leisurely   Khyam have added two more windows at the front (bit jealous of that).

Sorry to go on but just love my tent!!

(Sorry Big Bunny), but I would not recommend the Vango Venture 500. Boyfriend had one and gave it away after three outings due to being rubbish in even a light wind.

I would suggest that you attempt to see the tent you choose erected, they feel so different in the flesh.
