A tunnel would be easiest to pitch I guess, certainly if you're doing it on your own, so I suppose the Outwell Oregon. That's the only tent I've seen in the flesh out of your choices and it's certainly a nice tent.

We went to Derbyshire in June just after I had an operation so the OH had to put up our Arizonal L by herself - and managed perfectly well. I think it uses the same poles as the Oregon 5 and is the same height.

Hope that helps

My tent is very similar in design to the Outwell Oregan except my poles have to be threaded through full sleeves which takes a long time on your own. The Oregan appears to have short sleeves and then the tent clips onto the pole...you should be able to erect it on your own in no time

Does anyone know if the outwell oregon 5 has a SIG and is it one bedroom or two - ie does it just have a divider you can zip out to make a big family bedroom.

This might answer all your questions, Diablo. Seems like it has a large bedroom which can be divided up and a sig for the bedroom with a large grounsheet for the living area

Hi Diablocamping, the outwell oregon range do not currently have SIG in the main living area instead just have a groundsheet. The bedroom is at the rear of the tent and is a single unit with a zip down divider allowing a single bedroom if required.

Sorry see Bob already has supplied you with this info

Hi

Thanks Rickit and Bob. I was trying to work it out from the description so cheers for shedding some light on a brain addled from looking at too many tents to find a weekender.
