that is an ok tent but the one downside is the living area which for me is a bit small you will have an area in front of the bedroom pods that is about 4 ft 6 inch by 6ft 6 inch so four people on folding chairs and all your other kit you wont have much room in the front of that tent

Add a gazebo to the front?

Thanks we've bought a Kampa Croyde 6 air - ever the moneysaver, we bought a factory second so it was 1/3 cheaper than it should have been. The groundsheet from the front porch is missing - hence the reduced price. We discovered that the air tube at the front kept going down as well, the company sent us a spare tube the following day. Just been away locally for the weekend to test it out - and to check it all fitted in the car as the tent bag is massive! (I think the roof box may be essential for longer trips).

Fab weather, and the air tube was fine, a couple of pumps before bed and in the morning and it remained stable, so we haven't bothered replacing it yet. Weather has been amazing, kids so busy playing with other kids on the site they didn't think about anything electronic all weekend. We discovered a few essentials that we need amongst others - a water carrier, and individual torches for those night time toilet trips! But all in all a successful weekend!!

Thanks for your advice everyone!
