We have an Avignon 6 Plus. Marvellous tent. Well thought out design. Good quality. Only 'criticism' is that it has a groundsheet that could keep you amused for days trying to work out the right or wrong way to fit. In fact I think I've found 3 possible ways that are almost right, but that's all part of the fun.
Glad it's not just me who keeps putting it in the wrong way. Everytime we pitch it i keep meaning to put a sticker on it to say which is the back.

My tip: Ditch the groundsheet that comes with it and get a large blue tarp from B&Q and fold to fit, far easier than messing with the fitted ones.

We have a Royal Biarritz 9, when up it is a fantastic tent you can sleep 6 people in comfort and if another 6 turn up just before bed time they can go in the dome. HOWEVER, it is a complete Pig to put up (took me an hour and a half on my own the first time). also it goes up inside first so if raining when you take it down everythinggets wet. If it gets wet, you have to take it to a local park to dry as the average garden is too small. (also if its wet you cant lift the tent bag).

all in all an ok tent but there are better ones out there at the same price.

i love it when it's up though :)

Admit it, we only camp cos we are all too tight to pay for a hotel!

Why are the staff in camping shops so mean?
