Coleman Coastline 8 Deluxe Tunnel Tent - £199.99The biggest in its range, the Coleman Coastline is another tent that is new for 2010, and in the world of camping, new equals good - if it didn't we'd all still be camping in A-frame canvas tents with separate groundsheets, and waking up with colds in the morning. This is another of those tents whereby you put up the outer shell - flysheet, and hang the inner room from this exoskeleton, this can be handy if it it is raining when you pitch your tent, as the waterproof exterior goes up first allowing you to work on the rest of the tent form thee inside. The inner communal space is fairly big even with all berths in place (2.4x2.9m) - and this can obviously be extended if you get rid of one of the berths. The floorplan is 4+4, so before choosing this tent you may need to be sure that this is the best layout for you. The tent poles are fibreglass which mean lightweight and easily transportable, as well as easily stored when not in use. With it's front panel doorway, and Coleman's well deserved reputation for all their camping products, this ten twill not disappoint. |

Eurohike Buckingham 8 Tent - OUT OF STOCKIn the same price range, the Eurohike Buckingham does exactly what it says on the tin, it sleeps 8 in 3 rooms, and has a central leisure area. It has storage compartments throughout which are a bonus, although be sure that you have your mobile phone and wallet before you pack the tent away - I've lost count of the people I've seen unpacking their 8 man tents to rescue their phone - they don't find out about the wallet until they get to the petrol station!) Well ventilated, Eurohike tents are easy to put up, and this dome design is wind friendly and has spacious sleeping quarters. It's frame system and flysheet are of the lighter variety, so it's ideal for a festival or other occasion where you may be required to carry the unpacked tent for some distance. |
