Purplebean, I am very excited, I have never come across another Kalu-dweller! I have never seen one on a site anywhere.

I got mine in a Millets sale for about £130, and consider it a complete bargain. And I have the awning / porch, too, but don't usually take it. Only if I have teens in extra tents and we are expecting wet weather.

Deborah, that looks good and read your review. Is it really easy for a solo to erect?

Take Mucker's point about height/width/length ratios but both solos and couples still take other kit - even if, like me on a weekender, I'm not taking large stands or wardrobes. To me a 2 berth tent is for one person and a 3 berth for one is better. Perhaps tent manufacturers should bite the bullet and be honest about the number of people their tents can realistically number people for comfort; something I think we've all been asking for for years!

I'd love a Karsten but way outside my price bracket, I'm afraid. Plus, could be too heavy for me to lug about with my back problem.

Tim, sounds good, but I wouldn't be happy with that overhanging bit with the winds I've encountered.

Deborah - will look up the Kalu.

Big problem here is that it's miles and miles and ferry fares to get to see these tents in person - which is why the suggestions and reviews of folk on here are so important.
