Hi John,

Owning the Vermont XL, I'm obviously going to say that this is my preference. But, when choosing this, the Studland was a close second. I loved the huge windows and airiness that they helped create.

In the end, it was the front end canopy/door that sold me on the Vermont XL.

Ease of erecting? I can't comment on the Studland, but the Vermont gets easier every time.

Both exceptionally good tents. In my opinion the Vermont has it based on experience and longevity of the brand, but the Studland is definietly one of the most popular Kampa tents at the moment and Kampa are making a big splash on the manufacturer scene this year due to a commitment to quality

i also like both of these tents and was torn between them, then went to a tent display where they had the Kampa Tenby 10 pitched and i thought that was fantastic! so now it's a choice of 3: Kampa Tenby 8, Outwell Vermont xl or Kampa Studland 8.

for the record there are only four of us we we like our space and living area free from clutter so use the other bedrooms as storage.

Just to let everyone know, I plumped for a Maritsa 700 which had faulty colour coding on poles so I have ordered a Vermont xl with carpet and footprint £819 I woould of liked either this or the Kampa but this deal seemed to good to let pass!

Just go out and enjoy now. Have a good summer!

(Magpiesnest: Yes, there's only 4 of us too. I was thinking worst case scenario of a solid days rain that I didn't want to be too cramped. No worries about that with the Vermont XL. Regularly have at least 6 of us inside of an evening if too cold - record is 11 with no problem.)
