Morning campers !!! Hi I'm Chris and my family and I started camping last year with a cheap eBay tent, but now have decided to take the plunge and start looking for a new tent to start new season with. We have been looking for an outwell tent but not sure which model to choose. We are looking to do a main 2 week holiday but also something easy enough for my wife and kids to take away for weekends. Any help is greatly appreciated and we can never have enough advise ! So please don't be shy and give me your thoughts positive and negative. Many thanks Chris

Hi and a warm welcome to the forum.

The Tennessee 6 is a nice tent, but your quite right its a big machine to set up for the weekend. I have always found I need a minimum of 2 tents one for week camps where I like to take more stuff and a smaller one for weekends where I don't need as much gear. We have a Outwell Vermont L (but the XL has 3 bedrooms) for week camps. I feel reassured with the steel poles when far from home. For weekend camping you could consider a cheaper tent with fibreglass poles (easier for your wife to manage as its lighter). The Vango Tigris 600 with three bedrooms is a good choice. I also agree with camp Moose the Nevada L is a cracking tent.
