Hi - I have just been looking on the Argos website at this tent, does anybody have one of these or one similar? I am looking for any info on it really - we are a family of four but hubby doesn't always come with us so wanted something not too big for me to pitch. We also have a dog, but he usually squeezes in with my girls anyway so don't really need extra space for him. We have a utiilty tent where we store food/cooker etc. so don't need much extra space for storage just bags for clothes.

Any advice/info on this tent would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Lichfield Comanche 4
Can anyone with good tent knowledge take a look at this link, I am trying to decide if this will suit me. It is the only tent I can find that has the height I want but is not huge as a result. I dont know the brand at all, any idea on what the quality will be like?

Lichfield is a well known brand, been around for years. They are part of the vango group. Good reputation for decent quality lower priced tents.

iI haven't seen this tent in the flesh, but the commanchee 8 looked very impressive, when I had a nose around one on site a few years ago.

We started with a Litchfield tent, and only changed because we needed bigger.
When we were looking at tents the brand was recommended by the shop, which was a local shop, where the owner had a vast knowledge and experience of tents.   Not a sales person who didn't know what was what.
Our stood up to dreadful weather - I think the weekend that we decided to go bigger, we got about a two hour gap in sixty odd hours when it didn't rain, and the tent took it.
Another weekend when we decided to take it, rather than the frame tent, it stood up to some windy weather.
As you said, you have a utility tent for cooking/storage.   So I would go for it.
If your family is anything like mine, you and the girls could probably manage with half the size tent that you need when hubby is with you.
