Hi
You will have a hard time finding a four bedded tent with all the rooms along the back of the tent..Most with four bedrooms will be the sort of tunnel where you have 4 berths at each end of the tent. Very much like the Vango Tigris 800 or the Khyam Quebec 8 style. Your budget will either get you a not so good new tent or possible a good second hand tent. You could also contact any retailers near to you and ask if they have any slight seconds etc. Some retailer sell off tents that have been returned to them at a lower cost instead of returning them to the manufacturers... Be very carefull when it comes to show model tents, if the fabric feels brittle then walk away. Again at this time of year some retailers have some show models that may not of been up that long but have sold out of the stock so will sell off a show model way before they normally would.

Agree with the above on difficulty finding that spec for the money.
Been very pleased with my Quebec thats £249 currently at somerset camping, its the steel uprights of the Ontario helen mentions above, space is pretty much the same inside. Either is a great choice. This years versions also have a bonus over my 2009 model as have either framed porch or eyebrow (depending on model) which is good when its wet.

What about the Kampa Tenby 10. It's a 10 man tent but takes up the same footprint as most of the large tunnel tents. That has 4 berth one side and 6 all divadable to make 2 berth's the other with a small porch. It then has a wardrobe area next to the 4 berth leaving a huge living space. Kampa tents are new but Gary who owns Cross Camping and Leisure and thetentfactory thinks they are a good make.
