Hi,

Where to start ! ?

We have an Easy Camp Kos6 canvas bungalow type tent, used this when we went to France this year & was great only thing i could grumble about was not sig/zig.

We also have a Vango Salonga 900, huge tent, which we will be using next week for 3 nights at a local site ( Lickhill Manor, Stourport ) because we haven't used this tent for over a year due to last years C**p weather. We are going to see if this tent still suits us. Main reason being we enjoyed the canvas of the Kos 6 tent. It felt so much better than the polyester of the Salonga but the size & space of this tent is also good for us as the kids like thier own space & is great for when the weather is wet.

We did manage space wise with the Kos6 so after our trial next week will see if we may sell the Vango & down size .....slightly & choose polycotton tunnel.

Now saying all this iv been looking at tent porn ....polycotton tents & have taken to a few !! the list of tents i have are all Dutch tents from either Obelink or Vrijbuiter.

List: Obelink

Only 2 sleeping pods.

Again small canopy.

Trouble is too much choice & can't make my mind up.

If you know of any other polycotton/canvas tunnel tents that might suit then any advice would be greatly received.

Sorry for the loooong list but just can't deside!

Yes does look a great tent. Comparing to the Outwell as you say the Redwood does seem worth the money. Well it won't be a rushed decision so i suppose the longer i ponder the longer i have to save lol.

Maybe have to fit a trip over to Holland & see what tents we can actually see in the flesh. Just the long drive that puts me off as we have done the journey many times already ....but never thought to go tent shopping.
