Please note I am writing this purely from the point of view of a camping novice so all technical details may not be included . I've had this tent for a couple of years now well more like 4-5 years. At the time of purchase you could get in in Argos for about £160.00 but I managed to get it sent from a German supplier who was selling them on eBay . It cost about £104.00 in all including p+p. The reason I chose this tent was for the following reasons: -I wanted something that could be packed /carried around should need be ,so it needed to be light weight ,it weighs about 4.5 kg -I was due to holiday with a friend, and as they were giving me a lift in their car with all there stuff I didnt want to be taking up a lot of room. -As it was just my son and I who would be staying in the tent there was no need for it to be a huge tent. -I ...

Review of Vaude Campo 3 Man Dome Tent

The ups and downs of a family tent.

Advantages: Lots of space for everyone.
Disadvantages: No longer made.

The Khyam Michigan 12 was only made in 2007 so can be hard to come by now. But if you are after a large, well set out tent, and you find one of these then grab it whilst you can. The tent is an outer pitch first, or all in one. Personally we leave the inners in place which reduces the pitching time. The tent itself is large and can be difficult and heavy to put up. Saying that I am under 5ft and have limited mobility so if me and hubby can put it up between us then I'm sure others could easily. We have reduced the pitching time to around 30 - 45 minutes now, which is not bad considering. One good thing though, is that although the tent is large it still fits on most pitches so no extra charges. The tent has 3 inners. All or some can be removed if wanted. The largest is 6 berth. This is used by our 4 children and is just big enough ...

Review of Khyam Michigan Family Tunnel Tent

Magellan 9 - a good value family tent

Advantages: Attractive, 3 bedrooms plus good sized centre, packs away small, rel. easy to pitch
Disadvantages: Was expensive originally but can be got for good discount now

We've had this tent for 2 or 3 years now and it's been excellent for ocassional summer camping trips - Devon, Dorset, Cotswolds. It's quick to put up (once you've done it a couple fo times) and easy to transport in the back of our estate. Also well designed, with sown in ground sheet (no bugs get in and you can sweep out) and individual bedroom pods, and a good size central room into which one of those standard tables easily fits. It survived a gale on the Dorset cliff tops - pegs started to pop out, leaving flapping panels and lots of noise but nothing as serious the 'one star' review describes! No rain got in and the structure stood firm. No signs of wear and tear yet. Generally a sturdy, well designed, easy to put up tent (which is important to us going on very short breaks). ...
