 Could anybody please advice us on a tent what we can put up with ease,we want around 7-9 birth with fitted ground sheet,our last one took about a 45mins to erect and the same taking it down,i know there is no easy way to put up a tent but there must be some good tents out there which are easy to put up,cheers for the replys.

If you like the Eternity 600 there are some amazing deals around. Now is a great time to buy any tent as there are deals to be had but the down sides are, limited stock and you dont get to see many good tent displays at this time of year.

the airbeam infinity 800 is only a 8 person and the airbeam eternity 600 is only a 6 person although they do seem to tick the rest of your boxs......

one thing you could consider is buying the extension/porch to go on either of theese tents and when you need the extra bedrooms use the living area as a bedsit style set up with one of the inflateable 5 in 1 couches (sofa come bed at nightime) quite snug and warm with the sewn in groundsheets, and keep any extra gear like kitchen stuff in the extension.....

that said in my opinion when you start adding extra porches to theese set ups the pitch time will be coming close to that of your wynnster...

maybee looking at large 8man tunnel tents with intergrated porch as apposed to the cross design of the wynnster might be the way to go as you only have one cylinder to build instead of 3 or 4 for a cross designed tent. Many of theese can be pitched in under 30 min.

After saying that we normally find we spend most of our pitching time 'discussing' where exactly we are going to pitch and moving the footprint around. This also normally involves me lying on the groundsheet to check my feet will be lower than my head when asleep!

We can have our Khyam Ontario 8 pitched completely in 25 minutes.

Acres of space, good ventilation, good sized bedrooms which offer flexible sleeping, SIG, 5000HH rating, standing height throughout, cable entry point and cable tidy, lantern hook, storage pockets in the bedrooms, groundsheet folds completely flat at the doors so no trip hazard.

All in all you get a lot of excellent quality, spacious tent for your money.
