..., both can be tied back individually. The 5 man inner also has ties for a seperator sheet to turn it into a 2 man and 3 man space, though not fully enclosed.
Living in it
As you can imagine, a tent this size is pretty comfortable for a normal size family. With table and chairs, everyone can sit down in comfort and still leave a kitchen area. If you had the number of people in it Wynnster says it can hold, then it would get a little cramped around a table. Most tent manufacturers are a little optimistic about the number of people a tent can accomodate and this is no different. However, 6 or 7 people should be OK. The three of us and a dog can spread out in glorious comfort, though.
Like any other tent, it can get cold at night and pretty warm in direct sunlight. The ventilation the tent has works well, but it does need to be fully open...

...During the past ten years or so i have used a number of tents for a variety of different occasions, and i have to say, so far out of all of them, this Gelert Rocky 4 is the best of them by far.
Gelert is one of the countries biggest family camping brands, and now has 30 years of experience in producing quality camping equipment. Gelert believes that being based in the heart of snowdonia, helps them to put their experiences into creating better equipment for the likes of you and I.
On the Gelert website, and also everywhere i have looked ( and where i got mine from) the price of this tent is £44.99. For a four mantent, whihc holds a decent manufacturer name on the front, this is quite a reasonable price. Going one step further, and looking at a Vango tent, which are considered to be the Creme de la Creme of the camping world, you...

Advantages: Small, light, quick and easy to put up Disadvantages: Not good if you get lucky ;0)
...I've been camping since I was a kid so I know a reasonable amount about tents. Usually, when I go camping, there are others with me, such as family, or friends. As a result, I've had 6-man frame tents that come in two 30kg bags, 4-man dome tents, 5 man dome tents, and now a huge 9-man dome tent.
But this is the only 1-mantent I've ever had. And believe it or not, I bought this for work!!!
You see, I'm a courier and I occassionally get jobs to Western EU countries. I could get a hotel, but as I'm self employed, it's another extra coming out of my profits. And as the Europeans do camp sites far better than we do in the UK, it'd be a shame not to make use of them. Besides, £50 for a night in a hotel, or £10 for a campsite... why not?
But of course, since I drive a small van, space is of a premium. There's no point having a large tent...

When (if) you read the bible, you often come across characters that pop up only once, and are in the spotlight for a moment, and then disappear again... but you suspect they have more story to tell than is recorded. For example, the story of Joseph (and... more
