Looking to downsize a little, currently have a huge cavernous Vango that sleeps 6 and has masses of space inside, but takes ages to put up and take down and is getting on a bit.

So, want a tent that sleeps 4, has standing room and preferably enough space to put one of those folding picnic tables + chair things up in and still get in and out ok.

The other alternative is something like a Khyam Day shelter and combine with the two small tents we have for backpacking etc, might be more flexible but isn't great if it's pissing down when the kids get up.

So o Singletrack oracle, what experience do you have?

EDIOT: Wrong forum 😈

Vango Diablo by any chance? We switched to a [url=Blacks Serpens Tent]Blacks Serpens[/url] as the Diablo is a bit overkill for anything less that a week away. I'd probably get one of [url=Base Seconds 4.2]these [/url]if I was looking for a new summer weekend tent but it might be a bit small to get a table in

Likewise. They seem such a good idea at the time don't they 🙁
