Advice appreciated:

Having camped for many years we invested in an Outwell Norfolk Lake complete with side extension last year. The tent is wonderful and we are very happy with it with just two concerns:

With three children (14, 10 and 6) and a labrador the amount of equipment we can take is limited; our VW Sharan and roof box is packed with no space for bikes etc. and foreign camping would be difficult.

It takes a long time to set up and this has put us off going on weekend trips.

I have thought of a trailer (although no towbar at present) but then wondered about moving to a a trailer tent. Having read many threads the Cabanon Stratos could give us what we want. I have no issues with trailer towing or storage.

I would like some advice on the following:

How much storage is there within the Stratos trailer?

Is it possible to have a bike rack on it?

Is it easier / quicker to set up than a polycotton tunnel tent such as the NL?

Thanks for all the comments. Can anyone advise over whether set up for a modern TT such as the Stratos would be easier / quickup than a big polycotton such as the Norfolk Lake. At the moment this puts us off weekend breaks.
