What Tent Do You Currently Own?

[Cyclone]

Nah, that would be sad.

[DaFoot]

Each carrying own tent then or are you going to try squeezing 2 of you into a 1 man tent?!!

[Cyclone]

1 tent each, I'm not sharing a tent with some farting, snoring, hygenially challenged mate.

Vango Amazon 600 which we got last year on e-bay for £150 (used once previously). Massive tent - was great for our 3 week summer holiday in France.

 

Picking up a Vango Breckenridge 400 tomorrow - another e-bay buy for under £100 - again hardly used. This will be the tent for weekends away and festivals.

 

Have still got a Cabanon Frame in the loft but it's just too big for the car.

all straight poles and proper Canvas here

 

Got Cabanon Antigua for the longer breaks - it's ace, even has curtains but takes a bit of putting up and drying out

 

Hypercamp Eldorado for weekends - a bargain Dutch Pyramid that can take almost any weather and can be up before the kettle has boiled

 

Cabanon Isabelle for overnights at North Lees etc - a great little Ridge tent, now coming back into the Cabanon range after about 20 years . . .

I have two!!

 

Outwell Hardford XL and a Quechua 4.2 vis a vis dome

 

 

I have just bought last years XL, but normally use this. It'll be such luxury in comparison. I also have an old outbound voyager 3 man and a really old 2-man pole tent which I inherited as my first tent.

I got a hypercamp Rosas from Father Christmas - Haven't had it up yet.

 

Going on a long weekened thanks to Will and Kate on the 29th - Can't wait to try it out!

I have the old, original hartford L (12 / 13 years old now) for longer stays, a fantastic home from home, but used to really struggle to put it up until the logic sunk in, now takes 30 mins - never sleep inthe pods, keep the beds etc in there during the day and sleep in airy luxury in the central bit - give it a once over with fabsil each spring, never leaks.

 

hope yours gives as much pleasure - nearly camping time now! portable barbie and 48 cans o' stella - sorted!

 

also have vango gamma 400 tunnel for weekends (again a dead nice little tent) and a jack wolfskin 1 man backpacker though that very raely sees daylight anymore afrer donkey's years of use pre parenthood

excellent tent, would have prefered Rosas over the Eldorado but too may extra Euros for a ZIG for us - I am amazed how many UK owners of Hypercamp tents there are. Yet to meet a fellow owner on a campsite though

 

looking to start an unoffical Hypercamp owners club on my site if you would care to have a look:

Brilliant!

 

Can't wait to try the Rosas out.

 

We're a step family, so when we camp there can be anything from two to six people.

Obviously if its the whole gang we have to use a pup tent. I feel a bit guilty that I've treated myself to a canvas tent and I'm going to be shoving a couple of kids into a polyester pup - if you know of any small 2 man canvas tents let me know!
