hello there, we're after some advice, we dont know why but every 2-3 years we fancy a change of tent, we have had our motana for 2 years now, and fancy somthing new, theres six of us, four kids, me and claire, we dont like gigantic tents , but a decent size is a must, we have the extension on our monty, and this time we would like one built in, we looked at go outdors yesterday and really likked the vango maritsa 700, but read a few reviews where they said it has leaky windows,anyway we thought we would ask you guys what you reccomend, we allways sell our old set up to put towards the new one this way you can be sorted for around £100, thanks in advance gary claire and kids

We too love the Maritsa 700 and have been trying to find one that ticks all the boxes like this tent, as yet we haven't!. The Vango Icarus seems really good, but you would need the extension. The Vango Columbia 600 is also nice but no porch...

The only one i have found and like is the Outwell Florida 6. This is a tunnel tent and has a 'porch' area, however this one does not zip up (porch) like the Vango Maritsa.

Reading some of the reviews on the Maritsa i think it is a bit of pot luck if it is a bit leaky. However some people have reported that a spot of seam seal seems to do the trick!.

Well hope you come across something soon. If you do find anything like the Maritsa let me in on the secret!

Happy Camping

Doesn't have an attatched porch but the Khyam Ontario 8 with sun canopy would be perfect.

Have you researched the Kampa Filey? This could be the right tent for you. For the next few years anyway
