We are looking to replace our royal pescara 8zg - it has been brilliant, but is sadly not going to make another summer. Happy to downsize a little as it would be lovely to have something a little quicker to put up and smaller to fit in the boot.
We have had a good look round, but haven't yet found something that fits what we're looking for. Can anyone share their likes dislikes of a tent with the following criteria (ideally, I know we'll have to compromise!)
- 3 (or 4) sleeping compartments 2 adults, 2 kids,
- about 2 metres tall in majority of living space
- room for 4 to sit comfortably inside and eat / play if wet
- porch extension / attachment if possible
- not so big we have to pay extra on some campsites
- not so heavy that I can't lift it in and out of the boot on my own!
Always quite impressed with outwell and vango, but some of the new hi gear ones look nicely designed in the pictures. Are they as good quality? And found a review of obelink, which look great, but never seen one up and haven't found one that matches what we're after.
All ideas and suggestions gratefully received,
Many thanks.

Thank you very much everyone for your suggestions. I particularly like the Vango Orava as it has 3 bedrooms - our son and daughter would prefer some privacy if we can find the right tent. Any other 3 bed (or more) family tent recommendations would be great, just to have something to compare the Orava with. If not, it makes shopping easy!
Many thanks,
