Hi, can anyone recommend a tent big enough for four people, 2 adults and 2 children and one lively little dog. We need a SIG, plus a canopy, does anyone know of a tent that might fit the above, also not too expensive, we hoped to find one around £150? We really need one that is easy to put up as I need to put it up by myself. We are selling our Killington and canopy as its just too big, and doesn't fit on many campsites. Also takes ages to put it up. I would appreciate any recommendations anyone can offer. Many thanks Alison

Hi Alison i have a vango venture 500 which is quite easy to put up. Outer first then you just clip the bedroom in. The bedroom is a great size and has a dividing cloth and OH and me plus two younguns and a dog fitted in it perfectly.

The problem though is the living area is small compared to the size of the bedroom so i have just purchased a vango large sun canopy to go with the tent but have yet to try it out. Go outdoors do the venture for about £99 (they did have a summer sale where it was £49) i paid £35 for the canopy including postage.

I am sure there will be others on here to advise you though
