Here's a link to the Virgina 5 footprint at Yeoman's.  The dimensions appear to be identical to the Minnesota 4.

Sorry - I should also have mentioned that I rang Yeomans the other day and they will be getting the carpet for the Virginia in a few days.

Hello

We've just bought the Outwell Virginia 5 this weekend and had an overnight stop at http://www.hollinsfarmcampsite.co.uk/

I wanted a tent for 2 adults, a 2 year old and 12 week old baby.....I thought I was mad too :-)

The tent was ideal for the four of us. we rolled up the inner curtain and all slept in the same room with two double airbeds. I'd say for 5 adults it would be a squeeze.

originally I was looking at the Montana 6 but thought the price tag was a bit much for a first weekend punt with SWMBO and two little ones so opted for the cheaper Virginia 5.

I am very pleased with the tent, it's my first Outwell and the quality is great, the storage bags on the outside of the bedrooms were so handy for nappies, wipes, keys batteries etc. The living space is ample for the four of us as in good weather we're all outside and would only come in and lounge if it honked it down, but then with young kids, we'd never have gone if the forcast was poor.

It's a doddle to pitch and pack away by one person so while your family are unpacking the car and having a game of keey uppy you can get on and provide a quality roof over their heads in around 20 minutes.

Buy one, we did and we're very very pleased

We (2 of us and a big dog) have just spent our first weekend in our new Outwell Viginia 5. It is very similar to the Icarus but a big difference is the hydrostatic head (basically how waterproof it is) - it's 3000 for the Outwell Viginia but only 2000 for the Icarus. So, if the rain pours, you're better off in an Outwell Virginia.

We had to pitch the tent in pouring rain and we still had it up in about 15 minutes and will easily reduce that to 10 minutes or less now that we are more familiar with it.    

My husband is 6ft4in tall and we chose the Virginia because of it's good height in the living area. There was more than enough room for the two of us and dog and I can imagine a family of 4 would be comfortable enough too.

We've already booked our second weekend away and have ordered the groundsheet footprint and carpet for the tent too. We would recommend the tent.
