Just as a thought - Have you considered the format of the steel poled, 5000HH Vango Columbia 600 £280 (excellent but being superceded by the more expensive Ituri 600 - still a few around) or the Vango Sungari 600. These have a four berth (splitable) inner and a separate 2 berth inner all lined up along the back of the tent. There is also bags of living space and a wet weather entrance to leave muddy boots and coats in. Our toddler has his playmat and cars on the floor and we can also cook and eat safely in the large living area of the tent. The four berth inner could take all of you whilst the children are young with the seperate two berth used as storage or loo area. Then one could go into the separate inner and you can let down the divider in the four berth to make two rooms?

Anyway - just an idea. There's a picture of the Columbia in our gallery images.

Hi,

We bought the Horizon 8 last year.  It is a great tent with loads of room.  We took it to Lincoln for a and got rained on most days - the inside of the tent stayed nice and dry so no issues with leaks.  One thing I would recommend is the porch - good place to store shoes etc so that the inside of the tent stays a bit cleaner.
