|
|
I'm starting to look on eblag for a new tent as im taking the Mrs and little one (nearly 3 years old) camping for a weekend.
Just wondering what is a good tent for under £100, not looking for something extream just something all in one as dont want the draft up the sides like my one i use.
Any ideas of a good make to look out for? needs to be big enough for 4-5 people...
Im Watching a:
REGATTA LARGE 5 PERSON TUNNEL TENT
Vango Icarus 400 2010 4 Person Tunnel Tent
Vango Icarus 500 Touring Tent 2011 Model
Any good??? |

Ah that explains it, we ive got a mob with me so a bit on tender hooks about it, as Joel and Wife never been camping, bro in law only been when fishing and sister in law never been but likes her creature comforts so im either going to have a great weekend or a really stressful one... |

Hydrostatic head is the waterproofing 1000 is quite low and is only a summer tent 2000-3000 should be fine for most seasons camping but could be dodgy in very heavy rain were something around 5000 should be fine for early/late seasons in very wet weather, hth
If your planning on doing it a lot Argos have Outwell's on offer at the mo and they are considered one of the best in the industry
ARGOS OUTWELL
£99!!!! |
