Hello,

I thought I would ask the experts for their views so here I am. I am looking to get a family tent for 2 adults and 2 kids and it looks like a 6 or 8 person tent would be ideal. Looking at reviews I've narrowed it down to either the Khyam Ontario ot the Wynnster Montpellier. Would people recommend these or are there others that are better?

Thanks for all your help!

Hello,

Thanks for all your advice. I am thinking around the £300 ideally. I don't want to spend too little as I hopefully it will be used for many years to come. Will have a look at the items mentioned above!

Vm, dont think because of the price that the wynnster is a cheap and cheerful tent. its just on a sale discount at the minute, the reviews where brilliant and having used ours i have to agree, there are no doubt some tents that are better the kyhams and the outwells are very good tents but are they worth nearly £200 more than the wynnster?, i suppose only the owners of these tents could tell you.

good luck with your search

Thanks for all the advice people! As whatever I choose will be relatively large will there be any problems for pitching it on a normal campsite pitch? And is there such a thing as a normal campsite pitch?

Have you seen the Vango Columbia 600, a 2009 tent but the sage canopy, carpet and footprint groundsheet for the 2010 Sungari 600 fits, so you can get the key accessories. £280 (RRP 2009 = £450). 2/3 bedrooms, 5000HH, steel poles, SIG, full or part opening front, enclosed wet-weather entrance, Vango's TBSII internal strapping system that clips in place in windy weather to add even more stability. The tent was in Vango's Premium Family tent range last year. Its a bargain compared to this year's tents.

Vango's pitching video on YouTube gives some good interior shots (although the flymesh is on the left hand door not the porch door as shown).
