Me and my better half used to struggle (just the two of us!) with an old cheepie 4 berth tent and all our "crap" in a Renault Megane (old old shape) coupe, and we towed a trailer too, which was also rammed!  Perhaps we didn't know how to pack stuff properly!

We're off on our first camping trip next week for the first time in several years and with our 2 year old for her first camping trip.  Same trailer (erde 102), but a good old Cavalier hatchback for the car.  Fingers crossed we have enough room.  The Vango Diablo we now have is, I have noticed, quite a bit heavier than our old Easycamp tent packed. :)

That looks like a lovely Tent, my daughter goes camping with a 206 & she only takes a small tent. Her car is quite full by the time the kitchen sink goes in.

your tent looks nice though & if you click on the link below, you can go to the bottom of the page on the right & watch a pitching video of it & all the Vango range.http://www.vango.co.uk/tents/maritsa-700.html As far as weight is concerned you should be fine, it'll only be space that'll catch you out with 4 of you in the car restricting the lowering of the back seat.
