We have a Nebraska XXL which is great for us all (2 adults and 2 teenagers) but are looking for a small tent for the times when we don't have the kids:) We prefer Outwell, enough living space for rainy days and not completely basic .

Any recommendations/advice  welcome please?! many thanks

We recently bought a wild country halo 43 which has two bedrooms but can be unzipped to make a decent double. It has a good size living area which has a door at the front and the side. This means that you can open it right up. The headroom is great and with steel poles its sturdy. We got a 2006 model (as it gives us the option to zip on the porch extension, or zip it in to our halo 73) and got a bargain too!

I have the Kyham Freelander.

Loads of space for 2, easy to put up, top notch quality. I think it would tick all your boxes except it isn't an Outwell.

Someone just recommended the Outwell Oregon Twin - its a 4 man with two bedrooms but can remove one to make more living space.  There is one on ebay at the moment for £100 plus postage of £15 - I'd have it if I thought I could afford it!!!!.  Or Blacks have it for £134 - with a snazy 3D tour on th ewebsite!

The Outdoor Revolution Starcamper had been getting some very good reviews recently.
