+RonC Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) I need a tent for Kelling this year, we sold our little caravan because it all started to go wrong! Can't replace it till next year so I need a good sized tent for the star camp. Anyone selling one please??

BAZ Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 A general rule of thumb is to divide the number by two to get what I would consider to be comfortable and have room for your gear. That one I have is a 6 man tent and although it seems big, living in it for a week is fine with room to move without tripping over stuff. Don't go too cheap either, it won't last you. Have a look on UK Campsite and read the reviews for any tent you think about buying before you get it, some are superb and some are just lemons. https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/ +RonC and +Ibbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks Martyn, thats a great site.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Plus one for goimg bigger. 2 man tents are fine if you dont have loads of gear, however I had a Kyham 2 man tourer 200 for awhile and that was Ok for just me and gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuckstar Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 This is one that a few people i know have brought for using at star camps. Its the 4 man version of mine and Baz's. I can put mine up on my own in about 20 mins. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/air-seconds-41-tent-id_8384152.html?iv_=__iv_p_1_g_61980150214_c_316432703506_w_pla-295628810540_n_g_d_m_v__l__t__r_1o2x_pla_y_15177021_f_online_o_2193498_z_GB_i_en_j_295628810540_s__e__h_9046183_ii__vi__&gclid=CjwKCAjw7anqBRALEiwAgvGgmyx_WhgC-sq92eNl6xSuP6ovdaTV-egYWTAm06kKCWIjNtf3EHbiCBoCuR0QAvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Gone for a Vango Ascott 500 Tent, similar size to above but has some great write ups and reviews. Got a footprint as well. tuckstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 i`m not using my tent anymore Ron, don`t know if you remember what it looks like but very well insulated with a top cover and plenty of room in the inside to set up a table and computer, one of the zips is slightly failty but has two doors anyway, 2 sleeping bays which take a double size airbed with ease, £50 if your interested.

red dwalf Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Yes it's fun to put up, trick it to take a photo, something I never did but meant to, it's warm tent though with double skin and never let water in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
