Hello all, I figured this was a good place to ask as I've not had much luck looking on my own.

I have a Sahara 6 Tent, which I love. Some friends of mine are looking for a similar tent, the Sahara doesn't appear to be sold anywhere new anymore, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a similar one.

Ideally, it would be a 3 pod tent with a living space. I found the RAGE Tromso Deluxe 10, but after reading what folks said about them on here I don't want to recommend it to my friends.

So does anyone know of a reasonably priced 3 pod tent that is also good quality?

Thanks in advance

Thought of a few more...Coleman riverside and salt lake.i always found coleman to be decent quality. Wynnster satellite--very large tent--couldnt comment about it. Easycamp topeka---same again...no experience.Sort of thing you are looking for.Seems like a lot of this type of tent up for sale...I think its because of the dimensions..they dont fit on standard size pitches and cost extra for jumbo size pitch. Could be wrong(and expect to have that pointed out soon).they also look so complicated to put up.Might scare people off after their trial run!

Ebay have alot of new Skandika ones that are often that type, and seem to go for very reasonable money, though i cant speak for the quality of the brand, having never seen one

The 2013 Diablo has a great entrance porch but older models are still good.

I would avoid Skankydick, Leben, and Rage. I have an Easycamp Topeka 8 which I've just used on a two week holiday and I thought it was quite simple to put up. There's an awful lot of guy ropes but I didn't use them all, I would have pegged out more if it had got windy, which it didn't.

I'll dig out some photos. The Topeka is discontinued but I think the Vango Kasari is the nearest of the current models of tent.

Found the photo of the Easycamp Topeka 8
