We need a smaller tent for when we go away for weekends and do not want to take the Montana 12 berth. Its a fabulous tent but a beast to put up.

Main restrictions are: We have a double height double bed, cos of my bad back. So will need the bedroom compartment approx 215 x 260 ish.

Must be like the monty 12 - ie: bug proof - built in sealed ground sheet.

Must be easier to put up and sleep up to 3 people. Me & hubby and grandaughter of 4yrs.

Any suggestions please???

Hi Dave & Yvonne.
Google Relum Bardani. Made by one of the top UK tent makers
In both cotton and Polyester, Should just about get your bed in some of them.

Another vote for the Vango Oregon 400, we bought one this year for weekends away. Easy to put up and plenty of room for 3 - there are 4 of us!

Hi Dave + Yvonne

Faced with a similar Dilemma we opted for a Coleman Darwin 5. We've only tried it in the garden so far but it's a lovely tent. Nice and roomy and it's got a zip in groundsheet.
