It's for me and my two older children (12, 10).
We have 4m bell tent, but have always felt I could find something with more useable space.
I see the touareg tent with sig is sold out, and really not sure if the separate groundsheet one is any good.
I prefer canvas, and even hanker after those retro frame tents, but no idea which one, if any, of those I could out up by myself ( I am pretty capable of doing bell tent alone).
I have looked online and am getting more and more confused.

Help please!!!!!

What about a Dutch Pyramid? I sold my 4M and replaced it with the Hypercamp Jamboree ridge tent.More useable space and no stooping at the entrance.

Why not go for a 5 metre bell tent? The difference is way more than you would think. My friends 4m seems tiny compared to ours.

Or, have a separate tent for the kidsto sleep in, like a BCT canvas ridge tent.
