Hi,

I have a Vango Tigris 800 which I love but am unable to put it up by myself. I am looking to purchase a smaller tent suitable for 4 -5 people with a bit of living space, that will be easy enough form me to put up if I take the kids on my own. Any suggestions?

Many thanks

I would say a bell tent too. I can manage mine quite easily on my own in about 15-20 minutes.

Sorry Dean, I have another wee suggestion here.  We have the Outwell Virginia 5 which can only be purchased in Yeomans but is a cracking tent.  I often go away on my own with the kids if OH is working and manage to pitch this tent on my own.  It has a decent sleeping area that can be divided and the living area is spacious with lots of windows for 'watching the world go by'!!

No probs I'm all new to this so I really haven't much of a clue. The new mojave 5 have windows all round now I believe, for 'watching the world go by' Can't remember if mine has, will find out when i finally get to erect it.

Sorry Dean mis-read your reply earlier.  Congrats on your purchase.  I am sure you wont be disapointed with your new purchase.  Are you going to have a go at a trial pitch any time soon?
