New tent

We bought a new tent yesterday...we now own 4 tents!

A 2-man










A 5-man










A 8-man












A 10-man






The new one is the 8-man tent which we intend to replace both our 5 and 10-man tents, hence reducing the number of tents we have to store. The 8-man is slightly bigger than the 5 (obviously) and is also split in to two rooms making it more user friendly for us and the kids to have separate space. Obviously it is smaller than the 10-man (which also has 2 rooms), which makes it quicker and easier to set up (can be set-up by one person) and also means it takes up less room in the car, so we can actually fit everything in the car that we need to take camping.

We are hoping to take it for it's first overnight camp next weekend (if the weather is fine). Ben, Naomi and I will sleep in it while Peter and Joanna go tramping overnight. We then plan to take it camping for 4 nights over the Easter weekend. If all goes well, after that we will probably sell both the 5 and 10-man tents, as we don't think we will have a use for them any more.

When/if you do decide to sell them we may be interested in one. We have talked ever since our first trip to oz about buying a tent that we would leave at Mum & Dad's to use when we come.

ummm...not sure how you would get them for Nz to OZ. The 10-man one weighs 25kg! Not sure what the 5-man one weighs.
