As the subject says, i am looking for a 3 man tunnel type tent with a sig. Got some winter camping coming up and don't want the living area covered in water that ooses in during the day and the ice that it forms at night.

also don't want to pay a fortune for it

Any ideas

Thanks

Vango Oregon 400 at around £130.  Sunncamp Ventura £150 or Wynnster Mallard sub £100.

Cool. Do these have full sigs or just the sleeping area. I spent a while searching the net this weekend and could only find ones with sig in sleeping area and seperate in living area.

Full SIGs, previous years models of the Vango and Wynnster as I recall were Bathtub groundsheets.  You should be fine with any of these though.

Cool. Thanks for the help. Just been checking them out. They look good.Thanks for the help.

We currently have a Khyam 3 birth for winter and a Khyam 6 birth for summer. The 6 birth is HUGE and has a full sig, the 3 birth is tiny and has a part sig. Think we got them the wrong way round though as would prefer the full sig in winter.

Thanks for the help, and the quick response.

Yep, that was the one i was thinking about, not sure if it's a little too big to keep nice and warm when it's really cold outside though (there are only two of us)

Are you thinking of a touring tent then? Does standing height not matter?

If that is the case maybe have a look at the vango Beta 450, though it has a Bathtub groundsheet, curiously the far more expensive Equinox range which are very similar but more expensive and considered to be 3/4 season tents also have a bathtub groundsheet.
