Just fell across this forum after doing some research on my new tent, that I have just recently purchased - The Coleman Coastline deluxe 6. I plan to use it on my next trip - August Bank holiday down in Bournemouth. I have been camping since I was a child and am now 46. Grew up camping with my parents and so it has always been in my blood and in the last 10 years have been away camping 3 times a year with my son, who is now 11. As a single parent it has provided me with the means of providing much needed breaks at an affordable cost and we both love it! I am also a local cub leader and so also assist with the annual cub camp which again is something I truely enjoy and which opens the doors for many of our cubs to experience the great outdoors. There is something quite rewarding in building your own home for a few days/weeks and living in it and I never tire of camping. I have a ford fiesta with a roofrack and so try and take everything but the kitchen sink ( a bowl in my case!) and people are amazed at how much I manage to get into my 'tardis' of a car. My son, however, now wants to start bringing one of his friends along with us, so I may have to downsize on what I take. Perhaps not so many pairs of shoes, but being a woman, this may be difficult!
Hope to get some good tips from here. Regards Fiestafolie
as I have one, with just a few photos on here 
I too have been camping since.... well a very long time 
and considering I'm solo camping with this tent, it seems to have enough space for my 'tat'
