Need some advice please. im after a decent family tent. Needs to be substantial and 2 seperate bedrooms, sewn in groundsheet, outside erected first etc.. What are decent makes?

I might also be after some sea fishing tackle so i can take 5 year old fishing when we start camping.

Cheers,
Darren.

what about a trailer tent? A proper kitchen and toilet area would make life a little easier! My family have had a cornice conway for years, great tent and well cheap now. Massive too.

I'd vote trailer tent too.
Much under-rated. Easy to store (-ish), easy to tow and not as annoying for other drivers since they can see over the top for overtaking.
Sleep on foam mattresses off the ground, kitchen and toilet facilities available. Loads of room for storage when packing too, means more room in the car (these big tents take up a lot of boot room....)

My last tent was an Outwell, perfect easy to erect and nice features too.

Tent before that was a coleman similar to richards,either make are are good quality.

Dont go for the cheap argos tents unless your planning to use it just the once, i know someone who bought one very much like my Outwell but half the price.Leaked and ripped easilly

Ive just got myself a Vango Diablo 600 today. Seems quite good. Cant wait to use it next weekend now.

Looks like ill be providing the Friday night entertainment for the site now Might have to put it up on outlaws garden this week to practice.

I very nearly bought an outwell. They all look good in that price range.
