Hi folks,

am more of a browser than a poster, but here goes! We are selling our campervan due to lack of use and going down the tent route.

I'm used to North Face technical high altitude tents, but the other half won't go that far so we have narrowed it down to 2.  We saw both in Lake Garda and I prefer the Wolf.  I reckon there is nothing between them and the berth size is an unimportant issue.

They both seem pretty bombproof and I have seen that the Wolf is slightly cheaper online.

Any reasons why we should buy one or the other?

Thanks in advance, Den

Hi matey,

thanks for the welcome!

Have seen the Kampa tents, over ruled by the long haired general as friends have a Bear and she loves it, fair one though as we are selling our beloved VW camper so she gets first choice of where to park her backside.

I prefer the Wolf as it seems to be a bit less fussy than the Bear and as you say, the front porch goes all the way to the floor. Have seen the Wolf a couple of times and I'm swayed by the fact they had their surfboards and a couple of kayaks inside it to stop them getting nicked. Just unzipped the left hand side bedroom bit and stored them down there.

I reckon she will go with my better judgement

Cheers for that.

Pretty much what we figured, just a wee bit wider than the Bear. Most of our camping will be in big rambly fields next to the best surf so not so much of an issue

Hi there newbie campers!

Good that you're giving up the dreaded weed and have a goal at the end of it, must be hard I reckon.

Our neighbours in Lake Garda when we were there last year had the Wolf and even though they were battered for a week with near hurricane weather, the Wolf was fab.

Each day the sun would come out for a wee bit, and it was dry within an hour. Maybe that is just because the sun was quite warm in comparison to an English summer day?

I'd also say that on the site there were 3 bear 6's and they performed exactly the same. Only downside from two of the owners was the porch not reaching the floor, which will probably sway me even more to the Wolf.

Let us know how you get on!

Thats the Wolf Lake bought then!

No contest really. Saw both at the weekend side by side. I don't understand the point of the porch on the Bear Lake, seems a waste of material and space to me so that is what swung it I reckon, that and the fact the Wolf is slightly wider and the nice man let me put both kayaks and surfboards down the side and it still left heaps of space.

Fots to follow on next trip to the beach, yay!
