Medium sized Tent

I would look at the COI, Freedom or Southern Cross. All are excellent but big difference in price. I have the COI only because of the dollars and am very happy with it.

deano
can also look at oztrail tents which are similar to southern cross and coi
they have a cabin style tent which has a room divider which u can remove

Hi Deano,
I bought a black wolf 6 man dome tent a couple of years ago, and it's still going strong, the quality is heaps better than a mates jackeroo tent. My only critism is the fly is a bugger to put up.
Good luck.

I have used a dome style tent for a number of years and have moved away from the style. They have their pluses, easy to put up, cheap, very stable in wind etc. Some of their disadvantages are, as the doors zip up the dome when you open the zip the loose flap of door falls into the tent area, if it raining all the water of the tent near the door and the rain all falls into the tent. Thats a okay thing for adults to manage but with kids going in an out every thing ends up wet.

Also when it is sunny very view have a decent sized awning you can put up for shade.

They were the only two main issues i had with the dome style tent, they should not stop you from buying though.

deano where are you located? there alot of different tents types entering (and are already on) the market these days.. some that go up quckier than others.. and some that take a bit longer.. but give you better cover/sleeping areas. all comes down to personal choice.
just keep browsing the www and i'm sure you'll come up with something that tickles the fancy..

i'll be getting one of these for my next tent >

Have you looked at the link textBlack Wolf Turbo Tents?
Everything else is fifth place in the race once you have looked and tried one of these. This is the one and only tent. So easy to erect and take down.

Deano.......

I run 3 tents, of which one of them is a Black Wolf Turbo 300.

I only use this if both Tracy & I are going out, and for more than one night. I haven't had my tent up in all weathers to give an honest opinion on weather capabilities, but at this stage, I am sure all will be good.

Aside from the ease of up & down, the build quality is reasonable. Little things annoyed me, like the plastic balls on the ends of zippers falling off.

Cheers
