Hi fellow campers :-) 

After some really useful advice, I have reduced my list of possible purchases to 3 tents:

Royal Bordeaux 6ZG

Kampa Studland 8

Vango Amazon 600

I am looking for a tunnel tent (with a porch area), that has a nice bit of space inside.  I quite like the Kampa and Royal as it has that extra side room for storage, and that they seem to both be very light and airy, the Amazon doesnt seem to have as much light going into it, but hard to tell with photos..  The royal I believe has a inner partition to split the inside room further if needed. But thats the main difference I think between them. 

Really just wanted some advice on which one I should go for  - planning to get a bargain on ebay... I havent seen any of the tents in person, but have had a look on reviews and each of the websites. 

Any advice would be most grateful.

Thanks in advance: -)

ive sold 5 studlands this week alone and are brilliant tents. they have the stronger material and better uv protection on them also.
I am biased in stocking this particular tent but they are selling really well and not had any problems with them (touch wood)

Thanks Ben

Can I ask:  Its quite hard to see what they are like on the inside.  I am pretty fussy when it comes to it being too hot, can the windows unzip? if so do they have mesh on them to stop the bugs from coming in????

I'd go with Kampa everytime now.

I've got the Pendine 8 (Porch added on) and wish I bought it 3 tents ago.  Quality tents great prices.

Great -  thanks for all your advice :-)

I have a kampa polzeath and our camping friends have a royal winni.

Both superb tents, The later Royals seem slightly better than the old ones. The Kampa just has the edge IMO.. } no Bias !!!

lol its down to both those tents really.  As you have a Kampa and compared to the Royal Winni, what makes it have the winning edge? - I was reading that the Royals leak and the poles tend to bend but not sure if they were the old models. :-)
