I brought my first tent, a relum, from Tents direct. Delivery in 2 days.No problems with them at all. Also my friend who we go camping with also brough her tent from them, again prompt delivery and no probs.
Look around though, you may find a better price elsewhere.

Hi Northender & welcome to the forum

Most frame tents by well known manufacturers are a safe bet with regard to quality. Really the only decisions you have to make before you buy a frame tent are: how many berths; prefered layout; how many windows; colour; packed size etc. Then go for the one which ticks all the boxes You can't really go wrong with a frame tent, unless it's a cheapie unknown make.

Hi Northender,

Like you, I have the Relum Super7K. It's looking a bit jaded now so am replacing it at the end of the month with the Seville 6 from Tentsdirect. You can't beat the quality of Relum.

Litchfield were bought over by Vango and became one of their purely leisure tent brands. They tend to be a bit cheaper than Vango tents, not because of any quality issues but because the tent designs are a bit more conservative. You get a lot of bang for your buck with a Litchfield, given that they use proven popular designs and have the Vango technical department behind them.

I bought a lichfield malibu frame tent 7 years ago. Sold it to my sister the following year when we got a caravan. She has used it every year since (several weekends and a fortnight each summer) and it still looks as good as new. She reproofed it last year for the first time, not because it needed it, but just in case. Excellent tent.
