Just returned from France and now have massive tent envy of Dutch branded tents; Obelink, Hypercamp, De Waard, Carl Denig, ESVO, Karsten....the list goes on!
We have an Outwell Nevada M for 5 years and it has been fab in the rainy Vendee this summer, but I would like to invest in a family tent for hot, sunny hols abroad.
Am now researching and reading threads with interest on this site.
I love these tents for their look, the polycotton fabric, their durability.
I need a tent tall enough for my 6,4 Hubbie and two girls 6 and 4, which rules out pyramid tents.
I like the tunnel tents, would consider a bungalow tent too. And the modular tents look great apart, but for the price.
So where can I view these tents to find out more and hopefully buy one?
I live in SE London and can't nip over to Holland...thank you.

I guess your didn't get to see any Holtkampers?
I had the privilege of seeing a Holtkamper in person, very nice tent indeed, especially the kitchen.

We have a Zafira and a roof box so can manage.
It's a real shame you can't see them anywhere - we took a punt on ours because it was only £80 - these things never wear out really - could you just buy a few second hand ones on eBay and sell on the ones you don't like? I expect now is a good time to buy? Ours is, at a guess, 30 years old, but it doesn't look like it's been used much.
Actually scrub that - get a new one so I can buy it second-hand in 20 years :)
Re: cars - we have an original shape Picasso, so similar in size to your car. We had to remove two seats entirely to fit in:
tent, poles, kitchen, wardrobe, stove, table, clothes, shoes, bedding
along with 2 adults and a child. The child was, as is traditional amongst campers, wedged in to a space just large enough for her child seat.
Although our tent would just fit in the roof bag (I think - roof bars are rusted up so didn't try) I wouldn't fancy getting it on the roof - these things are heavy. Anyway, I'm sure you've looked at the logistics, but ours is way bigger than I anticipated when I bought it, and bigger than I remember every time I get it out the loft, so I just thought I'd warn you. We want to take a few more things next time (extra table, bikes etc) so we're going straight for the trailer option.
