Hi

IIm a newbie on here & Im after advice on the best tent for my needs please :)  I would like a tunnel tent that will be big enough for me & my 2 children & our big beds, with lots of living space too BUT ... I need to be able to pitch it on my own (with maybe a bit of help from my 9 & 5 year old).

The last tent we had was an outwell vermont XL - loved it but obviously no way i could pitch that solo (i couldnt even carry the pole bag lol).  I really like the idea of a tunnel tent & think i would prefer us all to be sleeping at the same end with the living area at the other end (like the vermont), id like as big as possible that i can pitch alone (5ft 6" ,slight build but not a wimp hee hee).

Price is an issue too but would buy second hand if it was the right tent/price.

Thanks in advance for your advice & i hope ive posted in the right place :0

Hi and welcome!

We have an Outwell Nevada XL which I can pitch on my own(5'8 and blonde lol), using my feet to help! A nice big but light tunnel tent that has 3+3 bedrooms at one end which open out to one large bedroom. Great living space, loads of light with the big windows too. We use a front extension for all the cooking gear etc. We can get a king size full height Aerobed in one bedroom, so space shouldn't be an issue there. We also have a Suncamp Ventura which is much smaller with only 3 poles but I stuggle to put that up alone!?!

Hope this helps.
