Hi George68 here are few pointers that may help

A rule of thumb is to go for 2 berths more than you need, also is it a mixed group ?

Will you be putting it up alone, not usually a problem as other campers are mostly very helpfull, but worthing thinking about as some tents require more than two even to put up

If the weather turns bad is there room for all of you inside.

Good luck and have a great time

Yes I think so too. The Nevada also has a nice rainsaver hood over the side door and I think it has mesh doors on the entry. I know the Yukon does not, cos that is one of the things I looked at when seeking a new "middle" sized tent for us this year.
