Hi everyone

Just as I thought with 3 tents, we were totally maxxed out, my teenage son declared that he no longer wants to sleep in the main tent!  So I'm looking advice on getting a pup tent i.e 2-3 man, easy to erect with a little storage area/porch for a bag and shoes.  I do want a good quality tent, 3000HH is possible.  I'm looking at the Outwell Jersey M, does anyone use this tent?

Obviously, I can't go too big or I'll get charged a second pitch but ideally I would like the biggest I can get away with!

Suggestions please!

I came on to ask the same thing!

my son will be 14 in May and think he will want to sleep in his own tent,when we camp again next season!

I like the jersey S for £30 http://www.yeomansoutdoors.co.uk/products.asp?recnumber=1399

A Vango Force Ten is what you want! 

Comes in various sizes (the one below is the largest), made of cotton, lasts forever, pitches in minutes, no condensation or claminess even in winter and bomb proof. 

For my family camp I sleep in mine for some privacy and to keep my own space away from the living space in the Aruba. 

Not cheap tho,' even on Ebay.

Take care

Here's the link, some one tell me how to post a photo, pleeease!

Well, I've decided on the tent, which isn't any of the above.  We wanted a porch so a pop up was out of the question, we wanted flysheet first pitching so that ruled out the Vango Alpha, I liked the Force Ten but my son didn't, so we bought one of these-

a Black's Cygnus which is normally £89.99 but they had them on offer for £59.99. Put it up in the garden yesterday, very pleased so far.  It ticks all the right boxes - 3000HH, good head room, great porch and bigger than the Vango 300.
