Ok I've had all sorts , standard tents , I've owned a bell tent , couple of years ago with my panel we used a event shelter.

So we now have the westy.

We don't have to have a bus awning , an awning or tent will b fine but we r beginning to wonder if a tent with a couple of rooms so we can store kids stuff in


Thinking about this

http://www.millets.co.uk/tents-camping/141665-coleman-mackenzie-cabin-4-family-tent-green.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not made me mind up

Any suggestions will b cool !
 
This awning is the one I have

Pretty much the same layout as the tent you've posted up, but with the added bonus it is an awning so it can be attached to the bus or just used as a tent if you want (we used ours just as a tent last year when my bus was poorly :(

You're not wrong Paul :lol: but got it off to a t now :lol:


They do a 'air' version now

Still not convinced of these though, I mean after a couple of years an air bed gets small leaks at the joints and goes down over night I can see these being the same,
I can imagine waking up one day and it being flat and having to fight my way out :lol: :lol:
 
Came across these yesterday :mrgreen:

I've got a bell tent similar to the one above, its 5m wide and got a wood burner in the centre, we use it a lot so its worth it :-D
 
We loved our old bell tent

Nearly purchased one off eBay again last week.

Just can't make me mind up !

I also like the air beam but also feel that they may not last ?
 
Someone has a motordome sleeper for sale on here, I've got one, good awning


--------------------------------------
Why didn't I buy my bus years ago !?
 
Decided on another bell tent in the end!

It's only to b used as an evening room or somewhere to sit if it rains

We find they are lovely to be inside , the thick canvas and high ceiling makes it feel more like a room rather than just a tent

Should turn up early next week , then we will b ready to camp :)
