Hi,
Long time since I have been on this site!
After no camping at all last year, and now in 2 years a complete change in circumstances, I am looking for a new tent. Only needs to be a 3 person.
I like the Outwell Carolinas, Oakland and Birdland, but would REALLY like them if they were just a tad bigger and had a side door, to save just having to use the large front door in the rain (which I know we will get!!)
Is there anything like this that I have missed while searching?? I really also like to have at least part of the poles in steel.
It can either have 1 large bedroom or 2 small (just me and daughter and dog!).
Any ideas gratefully received
Louise :)

The Carolina M is not really that much bigger than the S and has a side door and technically its only 2 steel poles (and 2 fiberglass lol)

The high quality Kampa Frinton range would also meet your spec, as well as Vango's Asante (which is in its higher spec Signature range), both have shielded side entrances.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

Another vote here for the carolina m, the living space is big and side entrance. Just check the reviews on here and you will see.
They can still be brought online so I would snap one up quickly.

How about an Outwell Monterey 4. If you can find one a 2011 Outwell Glendale 4. I also like the Outwell Salinas but might be too big for you.
