Thanks all for your posts on this. I think its going to be the Vango Exodus XL with side canopy for us. For short breaks weve got the option of just taking the tent. Longer breaks, tent and canopy, and if we wanted to take one of the grandchildren we can put the small bedroom up. Got permission from OH to get one so its save as fast as I can. Hopefully with a bit of haggling get the whole set up inc carpet and ground sheet for about £1100. Unless any of you lovely people know differently. Geoff

that's what have got Geoff. few teething problems but love it. Please ask anything you want to know.

Katie. Thanks for your post. I really hope you enjoy your tent and it stays trouble free. But for us things have moved on since I started this thread. The great thing about this forum is the different views and advice from members and I for one take them on board (well most of them anyway). I love the idea of the inflatables and for someone like me with some health issues seemed ideal. But before I part with over a £1000 a tent has to tick all my wish for boxes, and after reading a number of posts on small and some not so small problems with them I am going to put off getting one. We are now looking at getting a bell tent again something I don't know much about never even crossed my mind to get one. But again reading posts on here has given me so much information on the one I should get. The great thing is we already have a tent we are perfectly happy with, which enables us to take our time choosing another one. Geoff.

Personally. I wouldn't touch them. Too heavy, too expensive and rubber does perish after a while with sunshine rain heat cold wet and finding a leak is not going to be easy. It's not like a bicycle innertube. You can't put it in a bowl of water to locate.
Yes fibreglass may snap in high winds so a geodesic type tent is in order for our climate. Or Outwell tents have durawrap fibreglass poles giving extra protection.
Not all children can be trusted or adults for that matter not to be tempted to put pin holes into beams while you're off out.
Call me old fashioned but poles are much lighter and easily to repair and spot where they have failed.
