Hi, im looking for some advice. We went camping last weekend to the lakes with our vango idaho 500 for the 3rd time and ended up having to leave at 6am the next morning having had torrential rain throughout the night wakening to a massive swimming pool not only in the living area but also in the sleeping compartment!!!  My son and aunt slept in a cheap 3 man tent from tesco and were as snug as a bug in a rug!  How can this be?????? 

Anyway we are now looking for a bigger more reliable tent with possibly 3 sleeping compartments only im so confussed by all the reviews and cant make a decision, and im quite dubious about purchasing another vango tent which i thought were one of the best makes???

I hope uz can help.

Many thanks x

I would recommend the Montana 6 (Outwell) - it is a really great family tent!  Have a look at the review on here.

My budget is around £300ish.

I think i may have looked at the montana 6 (outwell) although i have looked at so many i cant remember the spec.

Thanks Kirsty

Thanks everyone for the advice its been a great help, think we are going to go with the outwell montana 6.

Thanks again

Thanks for advice.  Now looking at the coleman weathermaster xl, anyone recommend?  Being doing a lot of research and came to find that the outwell monty 6 does not have a zip along the bottom of entrance, my previous vango tent had this also and it seemed to let in lots of rain!!! Plus the outwell is way more expensive than most.
