At the moment we have a 4 man/2 bedroom Eurohike tent. It was bought as a v cheap package a couple of years ago from Millets (especially cheap cos my sister worked there so we got a staff family discount on it). Well the kids loved camping earlier this month and we've decided we should go more often so need a better tent (ok, I'll admit I had tent envy )

So we managed to 'get' a bargain Vango Marista 500 from Yeomans but we're still waiting to hear if it's actually in stock after the tent shows and I'm getting impatient so want to look at other options in case, as I expect, it will be sold out.

Requirements are:
2+ bedrooms
living area & canopy/porch
SIG
steel poles (though not definitely a requirement)
Big enough to stand up in (can't do this in our current one)
3000HH or higher
preferably tunnel style

Budget is around the £200-£300 mark

Don't sit and wait ring them,if you don't get an answer on 2 and 3 press for reception and insist you speak to someone about your order and get them to find and ship it to you straight away,don't take any flannel.Thats what i had to do and in fairness the guy i got was great but if i hadn't rung i suspect i wouldn't have got my tent.

Was that their main number? We've phoned the store we ordered from, the problem is that they took a load to a tent show at the weekend and they don't seem to know how many were brought back, if any. Will try phoning the main number.

ring on 01246 571270 you'll get 3 options,have your order number at hand to quote to them and a pen and paper to jot down names etc.Like i said press for reception and you should get to speak to someone if the other options fail,they will put you through to someone.

Thanks, but still can't get through to anyone even via reception. Going to try the original store I ordered it at again.

Finally have a response from Yeomans and they're ordering more Maristas in so we'll definitely have one next week
