HI we also looked at that one but bought the Vango Vail SIG, 3 bedroom areas and a good size porch, more money but I think it will stop us buying a smaller one and then deciding its too small and buying again! £305 at go at the moment. Hope this helps?

I think you will find that most campers on here will advise you to go for a well proven brand, such as vango, outwell, kyham, etc, Find a good make, then choose your model to suit your circumstances, ie.. dome , tunnel, frame, sig, non sig , number of bedrooms, And within your budget, Dont rush out and jump at the 1st one you like, Ask lots of questions on here, and you,l get the picture.   good luck and hope you make the right choice.

Hi

 

As a novice camper i need some advice on a tent purchase. I have recently bought a tent from argos but took it back due to the poor quality.

 

I have now seen a tent I would like a QUECHUA T6.2 XL AIR and would like some recommendation on it.

 

Does anyone have this tent. We have three children so we need space, warmth and comfort. i would also like to know if its easy to put up. we are looking for a tent which as a ground sheet (sewn in) or a ground sheet with the mud flaps that go around the tent. to keep the heat in and the bugs out!

 

Any advice, information which be much appreciated!

 

And thanks in advance!

Hi All

Thanks for all your replies we have found this one Vango Vail 700 Family Tent that we like is it any good?

I am looking for a family tent i have three young children a 9 year old, 5 year old and one who is nearly one. So we need warmth and space is this tent recommended?

is it easy to put up? is it going to keep us dry? do tunnel tents lose thier shape in strong winds? and will it last? (it does say there is a life time guarantee?) i have seen this for £305 is it a good price?

sorry for all the qustions & thanks

its a very nice tent and excellent quality, i think tunnels are fine in wind as long as they are guyed out well.

Im sure your family will be warm and dry in that, cant help with the pitching as i havnt had that model, plenty on here have tho, someone will be along with tips shortly im sure.

Sounds good, I have a vango, and its a great tent.

  P.S. stop saying sorry, (thats what were here for )

check out outwells montana and hartford xl, both with SIG, cant reccomend them highly enough.

Our gelert quebec 8+4 is a good, well made and warm tent. Fairly easy to put up and not too large. We camped 3 times in ours with 3 kids. The pods are already attached so once its up no need to go around fitting groundsheet or inners etc. It around £150 so well within budget.
