Was thinking about giving up camping .But have decided that would like to carry on .But  need a new tent that is wheelchair and family friendly and reasonably easy to pitch .

Needs to fit myself ( f/t wheelchair user and 3 maybe 4 dc in my 2 older ones are rather tall teens .Though think eldest will not be camping much .( could consider older ones in pup tent .

I like the idea of a SIG as feel they are warmer but also need to be able to get in through door so something that maybe unzips .

Also need to fit a doubleheight airbed inside as well , Am wondering about bell tents ?.camping will be at least a week at a time maybe 2 or 3 weeks as will need help putting tent up and down

Thank you

I think a bell might be your best bet.  Anything with an inner is going to cause problems as you won't be able to get the chair in.  A big open space in a decent sized bell should do the trick though.  The kids can pile up the beds in the day to make more room.  Valbarley is the one to ask for advice on bells - she has several.

Thank you have looked at the quencha ut the bedrooms have a lip means i would need to throw myself into them and do not think will fit a doubleheight souble  airbed in to it .

unless anyone else has suggestions looks like a bell tent for me

we have vango tigris 600, works good for us the door ways been flat is a must an with the bedroom we have air bed side ways on for easy transfer this year we added the side extension for extra day space, my OH is full time wheelchair user, he really enjoys camping, toilet and shower facilities arnt always so good but we manage even if it means a few days of a strip wash if shower dosnt have a proper chair.

will look for option outside or go with eletric hot plates on work sufface I am thinking  .

Skippy if you ahve bed sideways does it  still fit in the 2 man secton or does it go into the other section ?

Piglet the  Cabanon Guadaloupe would be to small to sleep 4 of us and allow me to move

I would definatly consider the Pup tent option.

That way you could have a smal ish Bell tent (4m?) for the adults and then a normal tent kids.

Cheers

Mike sorry should have said  4 birth would be to small i reckon .Would need my 2 youngest in main tent as they are only 5 and 8 and my 5year old has some sn .Would chuck the older ones in no problem

Skippy will have look at the 800 thank you
