We are on the cusp of getting the Familia 6 - just counting the pennies and checking down the back of the couch...

Not too much of a recommendation, because (like you) I haven't seen it in the flesh, but online at least, it looks to be a fantastic tent!

Like others have said, go for a larger berth, we are only 2 + dog and we have a 6 berth, the extra room it gives is worth it.

Also consider a posadas bed or similar, I think Aldi have deals on pop up beds at the moment you can store loads underneath them.

Pictures please when you have pitched x

One point I would like to add is that I have recently bought a tent from Obelink and although a frame tent, so different to yours, the quality was great. Also the service was second to none and communication afterwards was brilliant when I had questions to ask. Bear in mind the instructions that come with the tent may be a little vague so look for videos on youtube as they have videos for some of their tents.

OK - after a nail biting wait lasting a whole 18 hours The Familia is back in stock... and has been ordered (EEK!)

It might be a few weeks before I can get away in it, but I'll do my best to submit pics and a review.

I am currently addicted to the courier's tracking pages... No update since 3am, though :(
