Advantages: Easy to erect, large, simple construction Disadvantages: Heavy to Carry
to have a peaceful holiday than to go camping, you arrive at a campsite, see everyone else's tent already set up and feel the pressure. Decide that your tent will be perfectly set up also and that your instructions on how to attain such perfection of tent erection are so right you don't have to look at the instructions. What then follows (if it all goes according to plan) is that the person you are travelling with has a strop and goes and sits in the car to save an act of violence from occurring on the first day of your holiday. You, feeling smug, finish putting up the tent (with a sneaky glimpse towards the instructions) make up with your partner who now gets out of the car and retire for the evening (regardless of your arrival time at the campsite, the light is normally fading by this point).

Advantages: value for money, ease of erecting, space, ventilation, weight Disadvantages: ventilation, mine leaked
I bought this tent from a discount online store.
This is a tunnel tent and relies entirely on being properly pegged to stay erect but once it's pitched I found it more stable in the wind than any dome. On my own I can have it up in 5 minutes.
The living area is almost the same size as the inner tent and big enough to kneel up in. The tent comfortably sleeps 2 adults and accomodates 2 adults and a small child. The living area sets it apart from any dome tent especially for camping in the UK where the weather is so unpredictable. You could easily cook and spend a few hours in there without feeling uncomfortable!
It's also good for cycling as bikes and luggage can be stored in the front and it only weighs 4.2kg which is a good bit less than similar makes.
Inner tent has a lot of vents; good for summer but if it's cold ...
Advantages: Massive tent, bags of room, easily packed away, doesn't take up much room in the car Disadvantages: Freezing in winter time, obviously
This is an excellent family tent that sleeps 4-5 people, maybe even 4 adults with a couple of kids. Very simple to erect and to dissasemble and pack away. It doesn't take up much room in the car which is a bonus. Light, airy, bags of room, and is much more convienient than a trailer tent ot caravan as you can just pack some supplies and throw it in the boot. Don't forget a nice thermal sleeping bag if you are camping outside the summer months. If you are going camping to Scotland in the summer months you may wish to pack the thermal sleeping bag just incase. If you are planing a visit to Scotland try Blair Atholl Caravan Park near Pilochry in Perthshire, we have been visiting it for over 15 years and it is a nice quiet and relaxing site. ...
