Hi Everyone.
At the moment we own 2 tents, a large family tunnel tent which although there’s only two of us now we do like the space and also love the fact there is an attached porch for cooking etc. Also a smaller tent we use for quick weekends.
After getting totally fed up packing away last year we have decided to streamline. Now, we are never going to be minimalist campers, we like our creature comforts but something definitely needs to change and to save our camping trips we need to be more organised. First things first is a one size fits all tent and we are considering an inflatable for the first time. Can anyone recommend one you think would suit please?

Can’t be specific. But... Having had a variety of tents, pre MH, it’s all the paraphernalia that takes the time to pack away, rather than the style of tent. If anything, the quickest was the smallest tent because we had the least room for Stuff to take out of the car and put back in again.

-------------
2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

I totally agree. But, having taken everything but the kitchen sink last trip away, we decided to make a list of things we hadn't used. The only stuff on that list was clothes, as the weather had been good.

Now I reckon the list should be based on what we can live without, whilst still acknowledging it's a holiday and not an endurance test.
