I currently have an Ontario 8 tent (yes, just for me! Long story ;) ) which is great, but huge! I don't camp much, and I can actually pitch it by myself in a pinch so it's not usually a problem, but I'm going to an event where space is at a premium, so if I can take a smaller footprint tent the organisers will be very relieved!
My main problem is I am a tall lass at 5ft 10, and I really hate not being to stand up straight in a tent, including bedrooms (one of the reasons for the Ontario). I'd also like a reasonable living space (enough to fit a table and a couple of chairs and still store a cool box, stove on a stand etc. at night), and if possible more than one door to help keep things cool on those rare occasions the sun comes out! The sleeping compartment needs to be able to take a single flock airbed.
As this is technically a second tent, I don't want to spend too much (preferably under £200 if possible, but that may be pushing it!), but neither do I want to buy some cheap and flimsy bit of tat! I'm not the most confident camper especially in bad weather (though Delta ground anchors have certainly helped with that!), so quality and durability is important. Second hand is therefore definitely considered. Oh, and poles, not inflatable - not sure I could trust inflatable!
I've been looking around a bit and I like the style of the Outwell tents such as the Nevada and the Carolina, but all recommendations gratefully received!
