Hi Kirstie and welcome to the Funny Farm aka UKCS

No wonder you confused as there's so many on the market and so many decisions to make, SIG, No SiG, Flysheet First, Inner tent First, Dome, Tunnel Frame etc etc

I'm loads of other will have their on preferences but from what you've said the have a look at the Vango Aspen 700, Outwell Montana 12 (I'd say the 6 but you want extra space for friends) and the Campus Breckenridge Deluxe as a starter for 10.

Cheers

Oh, and I'd go for the tent that would suit you and yours best  and buy a £60 second tent  for friends. That way you're best suited everytime you go camping and your friends get a little extra bit of privacy if and when they're there too. MT

Hi

I'd also look at the Outwell Colorado 8 or the Vango Vista 600 or 800. Disadvantage not got SIGs.

MT, Have they changed the Montana 6 for 2006 ? When I looked at it last year it had two seperate inners rather than curtain between like the Montana 4 ?

Good Luck

Jen

Right up untill you said about a seperate bedroom for guests I would have said a Vango Venture 500 would suit you perfectly (at at under a hundred pounds  a heck of a tent for the money too )

 Even though I love my Aspen I dont think it would suit you ,too big and too long to erect (it takes us less than an hour but I get the feeling you want something a lot faster ! )

How about something like a sun valley 6 ? you can either have one large bedroom or put the devider up to make 2 smaller bedrooms ,also has a lage under cover porch area for storage ect ?

i would go for the new nabraska xl from outwell same as montana but is T shaped...

bedrooms either end and big living space..

hi kirstie

go for the khyam XXL you get 3 sleeping areas, one with a curtain divider which can make a very large sleeping area and a good size bedroom, ive got the man, two teenage girls and a young son and we fit in very comfy, weve also got the put up down to 15 minutes (thats me and 1 daughter) other daughter and son wandering off and the man surveying his new kingdom with a beer of course.can be a bit pricey but well worth it

thankyou all so much for your quick replies

we had concidered the montana 6 but were put off by the 2 pods but if the 2006 model just has the dividing curtain it is back in the running!-any ideas on how long  it takes to put up/down?

we're off to the SECC  this weekend to see the outdoor exhibition and i'm hoping there will be some tents there along with the equip also there is a few local dealer shows on next week so hopefully we will be proud owners of a family tent in a few weeks

thanks so much again

kirstie

thankyou for all your advice we are now proud owners of a montana 6 - cant wait to go now!
