Hi, wondered whether anyone had any tent buying tips.  After some rooting around, we have decided on (in no particular order) one of the three following models:

• Jamet Pacific 4 Family Dome
• Royal Memphis 4
• SunnCamp Kashmir

We (i.e. the two of us) wanted a larger tent than our well-used, cosy, two-person dome.  The above seem to meet our various criteria.  However, wondered whether anyone could point us in the direction of one manufacturer, or another, based on personal experience?  Even better if somone was able to comment favourably or otherwise on the specific models we are interested in.

I await your replies.  Many thanks.

I don't know anything about any of the three tents you mentioned, but I just wanted to say Hi & welcome to the forum  

An' now I've bumped your post back up to the top, maybe someone who can help you will see it

Hi - Welcome to the UKCS

I have a Royal tent and its a very good tent which has stood up to some pretty bad weather. Never had a problem with it. We did have to download the instructions from their website as they didn't come with the tent but that is about it.

Sorry I don't have any experience of the other makes but I know Sunncamp gets quite good reviews. Not heard of the other make.

Good luck

I had a jamet vis a vis tent about 10 years ago

Never had any trouble with it. apart from the pole ripped the polyester sleeve a bit when threading it thru once

It never really experienced any really bad weather conditions, so can't comment on how good it would be in adverse weather

I currently have a Royal tent, and have previously had a Royal dayroom and Royal DriveAway awning.

Would definatley consider Royal to be an excellent make. Better than Sunncamp, and I only know of Jamet, because a friend had a trailer tent made by them!
