Sleeping-space you'll be fine.  But as I say you may struggle for living & storage space.

Here are a few more pictures from Adgestone C&CC last summer.  Ah happy days! These give a better sense of the space.

Thanks for sharing those photos.

I think we'll be fine as we'll only use the base to store couple of small bags of clothes, plus some where to sit if the weather man gets the forecast totally wrong.

We brought a wk/end tent a couple of yrs ago, with the full intention of going on the spur of the moment. BUT our wk/end tent takes almost as much time to pitch as our normal tent. So we never really used it spontaniously (sp?) which is what we hope to do with the pop ups. Decide Friday morning that the weather is going to be ok so lets go after work. we did buy the pop ups a couple fo yrs ago but they've never been used to their full potenial cos we never seem to get the really good weather on the wk end we're free. So hoping by adding the base, we can be a bit more flexible about going when the weather isn't wall to wall sunshine

Yep, you should be fine using them like that.

They really do go up quickly, although its worth having a few practice goes at getting them down again - particularly the Base.  If you have video on your mobile its also worth downloading the demo dvd just in case you get stuck on site and need a reminder.  Once you know the process and you've done it a couple of times its dead easy.

My mum and dad have a caravan and my mum always thinks my quechuas look really cosy.  She seems to always find an excuse to come and sit in them for a bit :0)
