Hi we are avid campers and love the tent life, we have a vermont xl that is at the end of its life. We love the size it give us and the rigidity of the steel poles but so many are now using air tents!
I have looked at the outwell corvette ac but read some bad reviews on here!
Can anyone point us in a good direction for a replacement tent, good quality, good life span, strong spacious tent air or steel poles????

I can't comment of durability but we've just bought the Drummond 7. Reduced to £499 on Charlie's.
We really wanted the Vermont XLP but it was discontinued and out of stock everywhere. The Drummond gave us similar bedroom layout and decent space, it's a 2018 tent so reduced to what we thought was a very good price for a well speced steel poled tent. We got a tarp from Argos as a footprint and a universal carpet from millets that are both a pretty good fit.
A lot of the 2019 Outwell tents have been recalled due to leaking beams so personally I wouldn't touch one. A 2018 tent might be a better option and slightly cheaper.
