Well one tent leads to another because you always want more! Did I hear something about a tent roll call? Here goes!
1. 5 person dome tent from Asda - our first tent. Was OK for a starter tent, very small porch area and it didn't have a groundsheet and it was inner pitch first which we decided we didn't want.
2. Gelert Nimbus 4 person - bigger living area, but it wasn't a SIG and you did develop a stoop... We decided we wanted to be able to stand up in our next tent and we wanted SIG.
3. Coleman Magellan 9- our first family tent shared between me, OH and my parents. It was great, you could stand up and there was lots of space for both sleeping and one pod for storage, it had SIG, EHU inlet, and a skylight which I always wanted! But it was returned due to faulty pitching straps.
4. Vango Orchy 400 - we can stand up!!! Great living space, skylight, SIG! It's perfect for just the two of us... First we got the large canopy, then decided it was too big, so at Christmas we got the standard with vouchers we'd got for Go Outdoors and it had been reduced in price too!
5. Vango Kura 800 DLX - New family tent. Only pitched it once for a trial run. It's big, light and airy and we still have the extra storage pod! And the large canopy will fit it!
Not bad for only 2 years camping... can't believe we're on our 3rd year now! And we've still got all the tents apart from the Coleman... I just can't part with them! LOL
