Hi to everyone!!!

Great site, really glad that I found it!

New to camping, just a couple of weeks ago, put up an old two man tent, (That myself and OH, or BH, used many years ago before children) in the garden for our three boys (10,8, and 2) to play in, and sleep in overnight!!!!!

All went well, and we thought, lets get a big tent and go camping.......

So, onto E Bay, bought a tent (oh dear)  ;o(  and of we went to Coombe Martin, Great Time, really got the camping bug now!!!! BUT......bad tent!!!!!!!!!

And....then I found this site!!!!!!! Lots of searching, and staying up to the small hours, a few visits to the camp shops, it came down to a choice of the Sunncamp Vario 900 (only thing i didn't like was, there is no covered out side space) and the sunncamp Tourist XP20!!!!

Wife loved the Tourist 20XP, good reviews on here for it!!! So, now proud owners of the XP20 (HUGE tent)!!!!!!    

Bit late now...BUT....Was it a good choice?

Had a trial pitch the other day, went up really quick    Testing it properly tomorrow, all going to Cloud Farm Exmoor, for a few days!!!!!!

Just wanted to say hi, and thanks for all the previous post's and advice, very helpfull!!!!

Now I have a tent  to sell on E Bay!!!!!!

Cheers, Rob.
