Hi, I'm looking for a tunnel type tent which has good 'living' space. I like the Royal Toledo 8 which is 7.6m x 4.1m, but the best price I can find so far is £335.... which I'm sure is a bargain, but it's still a bit too much for me!

The 'living' space in the toledo is about 5x4m which is great.....

Can anyone recommend anything else with a lower price and decent space ?

Thanks for looking :)

Thanks for the replies :)

I already saw the Vancouver 10, which appears to be sold under various names in catalogues...grattan, freemans etc.... and I dismissed it because I wanted a 'proper' tunnel tent with an end opening... although I must admit it's a good size :)

I'm currently opting for the gelert lokon 6 + canopy which is a nice size tent :)

From reading some of the posts on this site I think gelert appears to be a 'solid' make and should be easy to erect ?! ...... can you recommend this make/model to this camping virgin ? :)

this one does have end openings, one on each end and one on the side, it's a cracking value starter tent, easy to put up, stable in high winds , doesn't leak, and it's huge too.
