Hey guys, Our family of 5 need a new tent. Our Oztrail fast frame lasted one night in the strong wind and our black wolf turbo is too big for the boot.

What we want:
* a tent that sleeps 5 ( i realise in reality we will need a 9 person or greater) with an area to store stuff as well
* a wet area section eg the black wolf has a pathetic awning that doesn't allow for bad weather
* ideally about 4m X 3m or larger
* we are going for 3 months camping so price is lower down on priority as opposed to quality, functionality, easy of packing away/setting up and a smaller pack up size than the black wolf turbo 240
* not sure about canvas or nylon - you hear different things
* we have seen a Roman Explorer 9 Extended Dome Tent that seems to fit the bill but not sure about this brand or quality - like the geodesic design though

any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, neil
