We are looking to buy a tent and following advise to go and look at tent off we popped to a small camping shop near us. To be honest there was not a lot off tents on display but there was a Sunncamp Family Vario 4 at £125 and my OH fell in love with it. We looked round the tent for 20 minutes or so and to our untrained eyes it looked well put together, and would suit our needs very well. My only reservation about the tent is the size of it, it is massive, could be a hangar for a small aircraft!!! and am a bit concered about the tents abilty to cope with high winds. Can tents like these stand up to high winds? We do want to camp in the highlands and dont want to wake up at 3am looking at the stars becuase the tent had a sudden urge to become a kite. Any comments please?

we bought the vario 6 last year(£300), if you can get one at that price buy it!!!!, you wont go to wrong with it, easy to put up and loads of space. we spent a weekend in torrential wind and rain and it stood up to it fine.

for £125 i might get one

As already mentioned invest in some delta pegs for those windy days
