Sorry Dave, cant help you with the Tent thing, but welcome to UKCS !!!

Hi Dave and firstly welcome to UKCS!

Now this is'nt really my forum (I'm a tin tenter) but yesterday I needed advice on a tent for my son and I was given a link to Quechua tents and lots of advice too:

http://www.quechua.com/EN/Autres_rubriques/resultat-recherche/index.html?text=tents&mdrech_ok=+&language=EN&urlSite=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.quechua.com&siteRepository=788320.quechua&skin=MARQUES

Luckily there's a Decathlon store near us (www.decathlon.co.uk) so we were able to go and see the range of tents as my son liked the look of the 2 second XL.  Anyway, having got the tent he liked we looked at the others and the family ones are very nice, you can stand up in them and they look fairly easy to put up.  Prices are very good too!

I only mention these tents as I had never heard of them but was pretty impressed with them but, remember, I'm a tin tenter so other folks may disagree with me and give you far better advice!

Have a look at the T4 and T6 ranges on the above link, you might need to search around the site a bit more to find them.  By the way, Decathlon don't do mail order.

Good luck with your search and keep camping!

 Hi Dave

I have got a Tourer 200, It's a great space, lots of room, can stand up in it , stable in wind etc., I can put it up on my own. When I got it I was dithering between it and the Freelander, but went for the T200 as it was more spacious. I don't know about the XL but there's been discussions recently that you will have seen if you did a search I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the thread.

Have you seen this one?
