Hi - well we are on a budget, max really £150 and would like a family tent for 2 adults, 2 children - have been looking and thought of -

Eurohike Buckingham (£120)

Outwell Maine L (£145)

Hi Gear Zenobia (£145)

All sound good tents.  We are ideally after SIG, good living area.  Thanks

hi there try looking at one of these our friends bought one this weekend and you get a whole lot of tent for the money

Hi Gill, we are going for a sunncamp prism 8 £149 ebay + free carpet but sig in living area only. 

Your choices I think are all vis a vis tents, but because my kids are so small I need to be very near them at night so have chosen this design, see the reviews here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/tents/p/SunnCamp-Prism/29.  The living space is not vast, but overall a good tent, so I have heard.

We also debated about a sunncamp invader 600 which has more living space, and less bedroom space, and is not so "unusual" looking.  This is at £129 with awnings.co.uk

Oh right, what would recommendations be then bearing in mind my very limited budget? Would we be better with a dome style with the rooms as pods coming off of either side rather than these vis a vis style ones or a straight forward tunnel with the rooms at one end and living space in front you (do like them styles). Thanks

I've got a wynnster orion 6 - great buy in the sales earlier this year and I think still some great bargains out there.

It's got a great big living area - really quite huge. A friend with a tourer came in and thought it was really palatial! There are two bedrooms at the back and a porch area at the front. Really good quality, holds up brilliantly in wind and rain and lots of door/window options with insect nets on all. And it has a full sig.

It's 7.3 metres by 5 so fits on a standard pitch. But it takes two to put up - although it's pretty easy to do so. I love it and will continue to use it for all my family camping needs where my other half will be there to help me erect it!

I'll only be replacing it with a karsten (when I win the lottery...)
