4 person tent

[Normal Rob]

does anybody know of a good 4 person tent (2 adults 2 kids) ? - requirements are

£100ish
small communal (ie non-bedroom) area
must be easy enough to put up that a completely impractical imbecile can do it.

Many thanks,

NR.

Decathlon is one of the best for very well priced tents

A good friend has a Vango 400 or 500, can't remember which.

Quite spacious and easy enough to put up. I am pretty sure he said he paid something like £110-120 for it.

I have always found Blacks to be a very good shop.

Can be a problem that unless you live in France where there is one in most towns.

Excellent shop as well as they cover all sports.

I think we bought one for around £120 a few years back that can sleep 6 from a catalogue. Ebay is worth a look as well as a few retailers sell them on there.

'tis a shame as i've seen one that I really like - a search on ebay returned nothing.

Very similar to the one we bought a few years back.

I think there is a Decathlon in North London if it helps

We have one your more than welcome to borrow? although you're in some strange land called somerset - may as well be the deepest darkest congo for all my local knowledge

PS we bought it at halfords and its a beaut! Has an annex and all - and you can stand up in it!

 

[empire]

you need to be able to stand up esp in the living bit

Millets is good for buying tents, they are tucked down that little alley inbetween the George shop and the old ice rink near the clock tower.

If you want it for a family holiday in this country then I'm afraid that one for a hundred pounds is going to let you down badly if it pours with rain.

we got a Coleman tents form singersoutdoors.co.uk a couple of years ago, and got it cheap as it was end of season.
was a bit more than £100 (£165 rings a bell) but cracking tent, p*ss easy to put up and has survived some really crappy weather.

All depends on what you're looking for.
Sealed in Groundsheet?
Tunnel or dome design?
Etc...

I know a good tent for 4 people but it's more like £250 but well worth it. It's a Khyam 400. Can't remember the model exactly but really well made and well designed. It stands up tot hte weather when needed and it had plenty of space.
