HI

I am thinking of getting a weekend tent that is small and easy to  put up. So I wondered if anyone could reccommend one. My requirements are

* Small ( no more than 4 birth)

* SIG

* standing height

* quick to erect.

Thanks for your help

Have a look at the Easycamp Consenza 500.  It packs away small, is easy to put up if there are 2 of you and has a SIG. 

We have an Outwell Hartford M which is very similar and it makes a great weekender.

As for standing height - it depends how tall you are  .   It is  a dome but we find we have plenty of room. 

I think you can pick them up for about £180, maybe less. Good luck with whatever you choose.

How about Vango Idaho 400, which you can get for about £100

Vango brochure says it should take 15 mins to pitch.

Thanks for everyones suggestions. i probably am describing my monty 4 but just wondered if there was anything smaller and quicker!! cause if I take the monty i would have to take all the extra bits i have to go with it!!! ( canopy, carpet, footprint groundsheet etc) It doesn't look as pretty without all the extras!!!

I have just seen a pic of the sunncamp evolution 400. looks like a great weekend tent. any oppinions?

thanks

Hi Kaz

We have a Sunncamp Odyssey xl from 2005, which I think is now marketed under the name of Ventura as the newer version has the SIG, great tent, easily sleeps 4 and we've had all the cooking gear and table and chairs in the front lounge bit when weather bad. Pitches quickly and very light and airy - plenty room for a 6ft bloke both standing up and in the sleeping bits.
