After hours of discusion we are not buying the Sunncamp Tourist Plus 12 XP 2005 model we are concerned about the height in the sleeping compartments. 

We now need some help finding a tent we need the following

SIG at must!!!!

tunnel or a very upright dome husband over 6ft and hates to bend due to back problem.

needs to be large at least 8 man.

Now for the crunch less than £250.00.  I know that not a lot for a qaulity tent but we just can't afford it. It does not have to be the latest model but a good strong tent that will last us.

Ideally on the wish list would be cable entry. 

Any advise would be great we want to go camping again.

Thanks

Your criteria points to something like a Montana 12, but for £250...hmmmm.

How many adults / children will it actually need to sleep ?   

just had a look great tent little to pricey for us saddly.

It need to sleep 4 adults and 3 kids.

royal biarritz 9? £249 at wm camping?

lichfield apharo 9dlx £189 at outdoor megastore?

sorry the lichfield isnt SIG.

Coleman Sahara 8. Metal poles and it's really a frame tent but synthetic material. Very easy to erect and very stable.

Half price 200 quid here.... http://www.worldofcamping.co.uk/shop/Detail.asp?ProductID=963

Understand the concern about height of bedrooms - hence, generally don't go for domes. There are a few with high bedrooms (Wynnster), but they are expensive.

With a budget of £250, you may have to compromise on the SIG, and get something like a Khyam Indianna 8?

A Wynnster Hawk has a SIG and would be within budget - would that arrangement work?

Sounds crazy, but how about two smaller SIG tents? two Campus yales? or two Sunncamp Tourists from awnings (again 2005 models).

Lichfield Camping have the Khyam Arizona 8 for £220.
