Hi all

I'm on the hunt for a new tent.  Mostly it's likely to be just my son and me (he's nearly 3) going away for a couple of nights, possibly up to 4.  Sometimes my OH may also be there.  It should really have room to stand and a decent living space.  I'm drawn to the Outwell Nevada 3 (in Go outdoors for £160 right now) because of the fully sewn in groundsheet which is attached to the flysheet.  I reckon it would be a bit more comfortable in our variable climate.  My only concerns are cooking in it (although I'd don't usually cook in a tent anyway) or having a small table and chairs if there are 3 of us.  I've read the reviews, it seems to get good reviews (although there are only 2).  Is it big enough? Are there any alterantives anyone could recommend?  Certainly this is probably at the top of what I would be looking to pay.  I don't mind if the tent is bigger, or has slightly different features - I'm open to any suggestions and would rather buy on a recommendation! 

Thanks

P.S. Must be capable of pitching solo!

What about an Outwell Carolina?

Quite spacious for a 3 person tent

Thanks! 

I'm a bit fussy - the Nevada 3 may be about half a metre (c2ft) to small in the living area, but the Carolina is a bit too big.  Ideally I'd like the Arizona with the ground sheet attached to the flysheet for the purpose of staying warm!

As for the Coleman waterfall, ther's something about its appearance that doesn't appeal to me personally.

Well, just bought an Outwell Nevada 3 from Go Outdoors in Coatbridge for the rather spectaular price of £86, in my humble opinion!!  I did go for the Vango Icarus, but it was sold out.  Only other tent I nearly went for was the Vango Venture (£69 -15%)but it looked like it might prove to be a big sail!

RRP of £200, on sale at £159, further reduced to £110 then with 15% off somehow the till rang it through at £86!  I'm fair chuffed.

P.S. Thanks Zorro, your "review" sold it.
