Hi robnchar,

I was actually thinking of a floppy holdall type style with wheels at bottom of of bag with handles on top and to be able to wheel like a wheeled suitcase, but if bag is floppy and not rigid was hoping to squash it into boot of car which always seems to be packed to capacity on camping trips. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a really strong make.  Many thanks for your suggestion though.

Hi Emerald 1,

The pack size of our tent is 33 x 78 cm, tent weighs 19.9kg, do you think either an ouwell or vango bag would fit this tent.

Many thanks for your reply

Our first tent was a 4 man set (Halfords) which we got off ebay and it came in a large canvas bag as you are describing.  We now use it to put our Kampa Croyde in and its perfect, really strong.  I think we only paid £15 for the 4man tent with sleeping bags and mattresses etc, it was worth that for the bag!

we have the same problem, out new tent flysheet alone weighs in at 38kg!  and the bag has no wheels!    have made seperate bags for each set of poles as they collectively weighed 37kg!  also with no wheels.

Not sure how to solve the flysheet problem, guess just park as close as possible and lug it!!

How about one of these, it looks like it folds up and would be useful for transporting lots of different items
