Hi all. Spent hours upon hours searching for the right tent...still confused. So many to choose from. I say I'm a new camper although I'm only just getting the true liking for delving in, and buy a proper tent and equipment....I currently have nothing (except a small basic argos tent)!!
I travel to Silverstone for the F1 most years, and always (just about) survived with the tiny 2-4 man argos cheapy tent. I've always looked around and admired all the other campers, with their huge tents and all the mod cons. Returning to my small tent and crouching over my threw away bbq is becoming less fun. This year I want to have a few mod cons myself. Taking my son this year to Silverstone for the F1, and want to purchase a 2nd tent, and a few cooking/sleeping etc items. I appreciated this is like opening a can of worms..but that's why I'm here..struggling to decide. Figure best to speak with members who own these tents or have personal experience with their makes/models.
To make this a little easier, I need a recommendation of a Tunnel type tent, although only 2 person will be living in it, want at least a 5 person for the extra space. Want to be able to stand up in in (5ft11"). Want the rooms all at the same end, not keen on the rooms at either end. Read reviews on here for Vango, and Outwell which seem the most popular makes, but again, many models..and which make is better?? Was hoping to spend about £200 for 2nd tent, and realize that maybe I may need to add a little more, although sure there are still good tents to be had at that price. The equipment I'll deal with another time. But would be grateful of any ideas on the best 5 man tents please.
Thank you. Paul.
Ps, be gentle with me...my first post :)

Hi mrpaul,
The Oakland XL is a lovely tent - can you get to see it in the flesh to be sure it is in good condition? If so, it sounds like a good deal. Also, as some people have already said, the Nevada M and the Vango Icarus 500 are both good 5 berth tents - and with the price matches to be had at the moment you could get yourself a really good deal.
Enjoy your trip to Go Outdoors, that is definitely the best way to decide what tent you like, go and have a look at them and see what you think.
Happy tent hunting!
