Hi,

I'm completely new to camping and looking for a tent for 2 adults and 2 kids (5 and 7), mainly for weekends and the odd week, and mainly in Ireland. Needs to be reasonably easy to pitch. Thinking of a Cabanon Barbados (would love a De Waard Lepelaar if I won the lotto!) - wondering if anyone has any views on the Barbados that they would like to share.

Regards!

Whilst we don't have the Cabanon Pyramid we do have a similar Obelink tent and are very happy with it. Obelink make a pyramid tent similar to the Barbados here which has less pegging points than the Palamos but we chose it as it has the option of moving the front wall allowing a larger living area if needed.

Thank you both for your replies and links. The reviews of the Barbados are great! I took at look at the Palamos 6 and the Alaska - both look really nice too.
