i want a frame tent. I have seen the ones that they use in the eurocamps holidays and would like something similar, any ideas wher ei can get one from? we need a large one as we have 2 boys and a dog, the tent we have got at the mo is an 8 berth and that is just about big enough, but has no room for the dog.

I would recommend you have a look on e-bay - we have bought two frame tents this way and have been well pleased with both of them - last one was a suncamp "gite" 5 berth which was in excellent condition and only cost us £40 !

I've bought a couple of frame tents from ebay too. I have seen ex Eurocamp tents on there from time to time, but you could also think about the Cabanon Espace or the Sunncamp Grange if you want a really big frame tent.

You can't beat a canvas frame tent

What is your budget, vicky10?

As Jean has already mentioned, the Cabanon Espace is a fab tent, and doesn't take too long to pitch because it has a regular shape (no kitchen extensions to faff around with). Also brill because you can unzip the front and right hand then roll them up, when the temps soar, yet still have total privacy in the bedroom area. There is a dedicated kitchen area (ventilated window and flap) on the left hand side, which is curtained off on later models (hides all the clart!). It is an absolutely brilliant tent, and there are good used bargains to be found if you don't want to run to the cost of a new one.

Downside is weight and bulk but, if you have a trailer, it's worth it for the comfort level it affords.

Best of luck, whatever you decide!

It is not a frame tent but if you need a large tent Argos have a 20 man tent, Item number 3400827.

The eurocamp tents (stayed in a few!) are based on the Cabanon Espace, saw one on ebay a couple of weeks ago so keep a look out on there.
