Hello

I hope you can help me. I want a tent for 5 people to sleep in and I think a tent for 6 people will be best.

I want standing height even for the flap.

Which tent shall I have?

Vango Diablo 600XP or DLX if you want a dome with sleeping pods.

There are 4 of us and we have a Diablo 900XP, loads of room and the kids get a pod each to sleep in.

Vango Zanzibar 600 - Polycotton tent sleeps 6.

Steel frame tent - plenty of height throughout - which is why we purchased ours.

Great 'living' area when the weather isn't so good! No condensation issues.

SIG - good canopy - 3 bedroom pods.

Not cheap, but worth it :)

Outwell Hartford L is a dome with 2 x 3 berth bedroom pods. Our friends also have one and he is 6 foot plus and has no problems at all standing.

We have only used it for 4 nights and its like new. Its in the Sage/Laurel colours and we brought it all new in June this year. If your interested you can contact us at gary.s at hotmail.co.uk.

For 5 people you should be looking at a minimum of 7 berth.
The Khyam Ontario 8 is a fab tent and I can highly recommend it.

* SIG
* Groundsheet goes flat at doors so no trip hazard
* Standing height (225cm)
* Bedrooms can comfortably take 8 x 75cm airbeds (so a genuine 8 berth!!)
* Massive living area
* Very easy to pitch
* Fits on a standard pitch (tent measures 7.5m x 3.7m)
* Doors can be canopied open to form sun porch
* Good ventilation
* Large windows with curtains allows lots of light in
* Cable entry points

You can also buy footprint grounsheet, carpet and sun porch to make it a real home from home.
