Aztec Esquina Plus Tunnel Tent

Advantages: Logical to put up, spacious to be in
Disadvantages: Bit big for the odd weekend!

...Let's set the scene... me and the missus like going away during the summer. Long weekends camping are a favourite especially with an over energetic little lad and a slightly tapped in the head greyhound... which is easier to control is the subjected of an ever ongoing debate!! However, the tents we'd had were not really big enough, especially when we got the dog as well. A little 3 man dome with tunnel and a 5 man dome were just too small. And as for the thought of buying a caravan... let's just say Jeremy Clarkson is someone I agree with!!! So, off to the local camping shop for a look round. Actually, we often found ourselves in there just to pass a bit of time. With a gardening centre in the same place, plus the obligatory coffee shop, it was a nice little diversion. But I digress...

Advantages: Lightweight, spacious, well made
Disadvantages: fiddly to put up

...It’s only an op about a tent……honestly! Who’s that fella Vango anyway………….?! I consider myself a hardened camper. My experiences range from a bivvy bag above the Boulder Ruckle in Swanage, to a budget Millets 2-pole tent on the Orkneys, from family holidays in Harlech under a vast canvas and steel construction to New Years Eve in a Vango Force Ten Mk5 in Langdale, as well as several seasons in the Swiss Alps, plus many, many other trips.

Advantages: heat insulation
Disadvantages: breaks easily

...The Eureka solitaire tunnel tent is a reasonable tent to use when going camping as it is great at keeping in the eat with its very good insulation capabilities. These along with the waterproof material and the wind proof material is great as it really does help when wanting to spend a night out in the cold of the outdoors. However this tent even being able to be put up easily it does have an issue with breaking and the spines of the tent do snap and bend with extreme ease and so it is something to watch out for. The tent being made for two is just enough to fit 2 but it does however have little space for big bags pr food that is needed to be kept sheltered.... Read review
