i am after recommendations for a 5/6 berth tent with sewn in ground sheet and room to stand up in. budget is around £150 so looking on ebay. Vango tents seem popular, would it be better to get a tunnel type tent as i have read that tents like the vango diablo sometimes don't fit on the pitch. any other brands i should consider?

I have a Vango Orchy, this goes up to a 6th berth although I think it would be better with 5 people unless some of them are quite small!

I've seen other people recommend the Sunncamp Evolution, and Outwell seem to make lots of tents of the size you're looking for.

Hi, we have just bought a Hi Gear Mojave 5 £149 from Go Outdoors, it is a 5 berth tunnel tent with SIG and 3000 HH.  We have been on Anglesey for the past two weeks in the most horrendous strong wind and torrential rain and the tent was superb not one single drop of water got into the tent all seams are bone dry and it also withstood the very very strong wind.  We love how easy this tent is to erect which is around 15 mins and that includes fully pegging out.  It also is really easy to take down and actually fits back inside its bag!!  We have a Vango Diablo 600 and a Vango Tamor and this is definately my favourite and I would highly recommend it to you.  Another great advantage is the amount of space inside it is huge with loads of room for all other camping gear.
