What tent should we use for RUST2ROME
Right Rust2Rome is a goer so this question of what tent needs to be used.
We make and break camp every night bar 2 in a two week stint.
Pop up is good but all single skin ones rain on you.
Two fat boys sleeping with some gear so space is an issue.
Lastly this contraption has to go in a 106 pug.
Has anyone used an AIRBEAM Vango tent
Was going to approach them for a loan one and see how that goes.
Ideas please

Love my Vango... great in the worst of Scottish pissing rain. I'd had a couple of other makes but they were crap in comparison.
Think it's the Equinox 350 in their latest range - I bought it two years ago and it wasn't that price!!!
Plenty of space for two people + gear dry inside and in extra space in the "porch".

It's mostly the quickness for erection that is our main issue
And the speed of breakdown packing ect.

So you want a tent on super Viagra then ? 
Some people can never handle the truth and always try to shoot the messenger instead of taking an honest look in the mirror (its always easier to
blame another than to face reality), but secretly they wish they could grow a pair and be the messenger !!!

Decathlon have a few different pop-up tents, all double skin. Not the cheapest, but we have had a normal type (T3) tent for about 6 years, used a few
times a year and easy up/down, OK for two and I would guess squashed for 3.
Otherwise vango have a good reputation, they are often used as DoE tents so must be pretty rugged.
Do not underestimate the hassle of putting a pop-up tent back down, though OK after a few goes, a nightmare to begin with.

Hiya Pat...
I'm selling a 4 man pop up tent at the moment. Feel free to send me a U2U if you are interested, and I'll sort you out with all the
relevant details. It's only been about a half dozen times and is in very good condition...
Cheers,
Steve

I'm after a SUNNCAMP SILHOUETTE 200, for me the
Holy Grail of a two man tent you can stand up in.
I don't know how difficult it is to pitch though there is a review
