12 Man Tent

[Robspot]

I'm looking to buy a 12 man tent, preferably with 4 rooms. Can anyone recommend one and where to buy it?

My mind is boggling at the thought of 12 men in a tent at le mans!

(.. not in a good way..)

Hmmm, thoughts of it turning into a hot air balloon overnight spring to mind!!

Theres only three of us (although I should really count for at least two) and we want one "bedroom" each and one for storage.

Although your fears are well grounded JP becasue one of our party can produce the same amount of gas as at least 12 men.

I can't vouch for the first one, but I have the 9 man version of the Sunncamp and am very pleased with it - it has a large living space in case of crap weather but if you've got gazebo's etc to use for this you might find that it loses you sleeping space.   You'd have to be very friendly to get in as many people as they say you will!  

I was very disappointed that you have to supply your own 9 men...;

Very sensible Rob. We tend to take individual tents, but each person has a three man or four man tent. How the hell they expect you to get three people into one of those tiny ones is beyond me, unless of course you are very friendly!! Don't forget you can pitch more than one tent per car so that is another option for you!

We've currently only got one 2 man tent between us so we thought rather than buy two more tents and a gazebo we could get a better package with a large tent, oh and a gazebo.

Towsure have a reasonable range of various sizes

We sleep either one person or a couple in each of the "bedrooms" of the Sunncamp and that's about enough!

I am sure that site beginning with 'e' will have a good selection.

They do but all claiming to be the highest spec you can buy. Only problem is that if you search for the make of tent they are selling, it doesn't seem to exist in the real world.

Fran would be bitterly disappointed if I didn't suggest an alternative to camping in a twelve man tent....

Nobody is ever nervous about sharing one of these, (except for in mine, which is haunted  ) , folk are normally delighted with the offer of such luxury accommodation.

Oh and Steve you're welcome to come along on our next trip out to the local convent school with the puppies and a big tin of dolly mixtures..
