Looks like I'm in the market for a replacement tent as my 2012 BL should not have passes quality control. If the store doesn't have a 2012, it looks like I'll be offered a 2013 model. However, I'm not sure I like the 2013 as much as the front extension does not seem as useful as on the 2012, because half the extension space is eaten up by the 2013's curved front.

I'm therefore thinking that a 2013 Wolf Lake might be a better option, as the front bit is similar to the old 2012 BL6 extension and the WL can also be improved by the addition of the WL extension. making a totally enclosed tent.

We're a family of four (girls aged 14 and 8). Is a WL7 overkill and a WL5 about right? Don't want a tent that is tooo big and not used if there is only 2 of us in the future!

Any thoughts?

Never actually used the BL6. It was pitched in a friends garden to check it was okay, then taken back to the shop. We're used to the width of a trailer tent (4.4m). The WL5 does look a bit narrow in the Outwell video

The wl5 is quite a narrow tent - you might find that its a bit small after being used to the 4.2m width of the bl6.

I'm selling my 2012 bl6 with front and side extensions - been used for a week only and is immaculate just in case your interested as iv bought the smaller concorde - the bear lake 6 is too big/heavy for me to manage on my own. I'm sad about that because the bl6 really is a brilliant tent.
