Hi, we have a Monty 12 but as you can imagine it is a major ball ache to take away for the weekend.  We have been having a bit of a look around for a tent just for weekends for two adults and 2 kids age 5 and 3.  We would like one around the size of a Coleman trailblazer5 or Gelert cadiz 7 and in an ideal world have a sig.  Does anyone have any recommendations???  The tents I have mentioned we liked but haven't REALLY grabbed us if you know what I mean.  We are not just fair weather campers so ideally would have a decent HH rating.  Do I sound really picky??? Lol.  Thanks in advance for any advice.

Ok it doesnt have a sig but with an extention and our existing side canopy, I think its gonna be a great combo.

Anyone got any veiws?

Yes that Colorado 5 for £138 would be my choice; the front end that can be moved inwards to create a porch looks very useful for hot weather while the enormous windows would be great for rainy days.
