Think I want to go for the kampa Filey 6 or the vermont now - think i have finally narrowed it down need to find somewhere that supplies the Filey - so that we could possibly see it up. - can anyone suggest anywhere near somerset.

Just want to say a huge thankyou to everyone that has suggested and given advice to me it has definately been invaluable

The Kampa site itself gives stockists, but when you go to their sites, they dont seem to stock them???bizarre??

Hi Tanya, we are also a family of 5 (2,7 and 9yrs). I have always beeen camping but OH had never so with a family in tow it was all quite different! I would do as other people have mentioned and try and visit a camping store with lots of tents erected so you can see what you think would work best for you, also check qualities etc. We eventually decided on the  Outwell Montana 6 and as mentioned on here you can always in the future add on a front extension or awning. After a couple of trips in ours one with terrible weather and one boiling (tent was fab in both) we decided to invest in an awning as it will give us extra shade/storage whatever needed. We use the side door space as our toilet tent now after 3 midnight trips to the loo on first trip, then hubby just empties and cleans it next morning (def worth it with kids). The Montys not the lightest tent about but it was well worth investing in. (also if you are near a Go Outdoors you can get their membership card for around £4 then if you see anything they are selling cheaper anywhere else (internet included) they will not only match the price but they reduce it by 10% def woth doing (weve saved a fortune on initial set up costs) Sorry for lecture but hope you find what youre looking for soon. Happy Camping

There is a seller with some 2010 Fileys with the slightest of a paint smudge on the roof (selling for about £300). People who've bought these seem very happy with them. Have a look at recent threads about tent choices - someone did note who the seller was. I think they are also selling the same ones through ebay.

happy hunting - just found it for you: the slightly marked brand new Fileys available from Peak Outdoors for £310

Hi , I have a vango Amazon 600 and must say excellent size and easy to put up. The new 2011 model is a lovely dark blue and now you can also get side extension as well. Also I have a gelert beyond zenith 8 the total biz but a wee bit hard to put up bet well worth it. To be honest I will be getting a wolf lake after the summer, but do cost a bit . Hope this can help
