Advantages: Logical to put up, spacious to be in Disadvantages: Bit big for the odd weekend!
...you'd know... Vango, Outwell, Khymer, Coleman, and of course, Wynnster. During our previous visits we'd always seem to spend more time in the Mercury 9 than any other. We never understood why, but there you go. There were bigger and flasher tents around, but it just caught our eye. Maybe it was the shape. Or the layout inside, or the little touches that impressed us.
Obviously, we bought one, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this!! LOL!!
Just a note: We bought our's in 2003 for £300. They have updated the tent a bit since then, including a different colour scheme. However, looking around the later versions, there seem to be only minor differences between them other than colour.
What you get:
Actually, quite a lot. As well as the outer and inner tents, obviously, you also get a repair kit, all the guy ropes, a full kit of tent pegs, all...

Advantages: Great family size, compacts into a reasonable sized bag, Disadvantages: Could be more ventilation
.../awning, depending where the wind is blowing from etc.
Having opening vents with fly nets in the doors would be a good idea, to prevent you having to part-open other doors to gain a draught on a hot day.
The four of us found this a good size - plenty of space for safe cooking inside, chairs and table, etc.
To be honest, 12 would be a tight squeeze unless everyone uses a rollmat rather than an airbed or camping bed.
Judging by other pictures I've seen, Wynnster might have altered the design of this a little over its lifespan....

Advantages: spacious family tent Disadvantages: fits 6 easily, 8 would be uncomfortable
...When my husband first suggested camping, I suggested a divorce, but I was amazed at just how much I enjoyed it.
Of course it does help if you've got the weather, but also perhaps most importantly a tent like this really helps.
The Wynnster Cambrian tent, is a real good family tent, When stating how many people tents will hold, I personally think these are a bit over the top if you want to be comfortable, If you've got a family with 2 or 3 kids, I would suggest a tent such as this 8 man tent, as the extra space is a good advantage.
Standing height in the main living area is 210cm, which is ample room for the average person.
Its weight is 25.65 Kilo so is quite a weighty item, and definatliey not one for the average backpacker, But I found fits comfortly in the boot of the car, after all it is a Family tent.
This is a dome design tent...

I received my HD DVD player one week ago.
For this reason you may want to check out the durability of the item from other sources but so far so good for me. It appears to be very well made and so I would guess that it is going to last.
First things more
We are moving into our first house in the next few weeks and my wife just got a new job so we decided to spoil ourselves a bit and upgrade our Home Entertainment System.
Before going on to the actual review I would just like to mention a few things... more
