Help!  We are looking for a six berth (wife and two young kids) for long weekends etc... during summer.  Have a Wynnster Satellite 12 at the moment - a great tent for long breaks - loads of space and very waterproof, but its bigger than we need and takes too long to put up when we are only away for maybe one/two/three nights when the weather is good at short notice.  Takes me over an hour before I start blowing up the airbeds! (Its for sale in the Free Ads if anyone is interested....)

Got a budget of around £150, and quite happy to go newish second hand.  Wife wants sewn in groundsheet for draughtless environment, I want simple quick pitching on a Friday after work when the kids are tired and I want a beer.  We both want some sort of partition between us and the kids with space for two double airbeds.

Any ideas - seen some 2nd hand Vango Diablo 2006's going for £100 - £150 - does anyone know how speedily these go up?

  Our kyam Yale pitches quick about £129 at the moment

We use that instead of our vango diablo when we just want a weekend.

Thanks Sue, been looking at loads this weekend, thinking its end of season and a good time to buy, but missed this!  Like the removable panels.  How quick is quick?  I'm reasonably practical, but I'm on my own (my wife is usually feeding kids while I'm doing tent).

We have a Royal Biarritz which is the same design as the pre 2007 Vango Diablo. It pitches inner first and we find it really hard work to put up. Certainly wouldn't use it for a weekend

What about The Outwell Montana if you can still get one. Supposed to be easy to pitch

Thanks Shirlz, with yours and Sue's comments, I think I can cross the Diablo off my list of likely candidates.

 Vango Oregon 800 is very quick & quite easy to put up although you would need help at some point.    Smart looking tent, lots of room.  Theres a couple on ebay at the moment,
