Hi all,

My wife and I were going to purchase a Jayco Swift next year (specifically for caravan parks with the kids).

However, I got a great Xmas present and found out that my wife was pregnant and we are expecting our third child next year. They Jayco Swift is simply too small for 5 of us (it was already pushing the boundaries with 4) plus with another child on the way our budget is now significantly reduced.

So we're forgetting the whole Jayco thing and are looking at tents only. As mentioned above the tent will ONLY be used at holiday/caravan parks for a few nights up to a few weeks. At the end of the day you get the same holiday with a tent vs Jayco (at a holiday park) so we're actually excited about the tent and save a lot of money in the process.

Ok, so I've been researching tents the last few days. We want something quite large to sleep at least 5 people. We want something durable which is weatherproof and will stand up to stong wind/weather. We also would like something easy to erect as we'll be more inclined to go away for weekend trips if it's easy to put up. Price would have to be under the $2000 mark but really under $1000 would be better.

I liked the look of the OzTent (30 second tent) but it looked a tad too small and its too big for our car when in the bag. Then I started reading about the Blackwolf Turbo series which I think we're leaning towards.

Out of all the blackwolf turbo tents, what would people recommend for our requirements? (ie. Turbo or Turbo Lite, which size, additions etc)

I then saw Jet Tent, which looks to be bit of a mixture between OzTent and Blackwolf and in the bag it's also the same size as Blackwolf Turbo. These look very good as well. Any feedback on these...in particular vs the Blackwolf Turbo?

Basically just after any advice, in particular these two tents as to help us make a decision/purchase.

Thanks very much!!!!
