mmm just reading it again in the back of brochure the specs, it says 4 berth, but on the page with tent says 6?

Thats why I have been confused (don't take much, lol) I wondered why when it was a 6 berth everyone was saying it wouldn't be big enough for 3 for a long hol!!

The pyramid 6 is same size and 6 berth tho isn't it? But they don't make that now or do they?

That's an awful lot of people with white beards in blue sleeping bags!

I think it'd be better showing two people, spreadeagled, to show how fabulously roomy it is for two!

(Another thing, if you slept with your head to the rear of the tent, as per the illustration, you'd have a lot of tent inner in your face!).

I think the Pyramide 6 could comfortably sleep up to 4 people, if they had low height sleeping arrangements.

The limiter would be the living space and how people wanted to use it.

Hi. I think this is what I'm trying to say too. The Pyramid tents have a lot going for them if they suit your style of camping, you work with them and make the most of those advantages. And then they are fab. But if you fight them and try to stock them up with oversized chairs, large tables, coffee tables, cupboards, wardrobes then it will end in tears.

Like you, we mainly use our tent for sleeping, breakfast and evening meal. It would be different if there were several small children and tended to spend a lot of time inside the tent.

Again, agreed that the Pyramids work well as modular tents with other bits easily added on eg pup tents, kitchen tents, canopies, as needed. Because the main tent is so simple to put up it really isn't an issue to stick up something else alongside for longer trips.

Over the years we've been pyramid camping I realise I have gradually re-engineered our kit to work well for both us and the tent. Also, our heads have evolved into a pointy shape.

That last bit just got coffee all over my keyboard!

Not sure I want a pointy head, but we don't have any wardrobes or such like!
