Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice on buying a tent - I'm looking for something spacious and of good quality around the $300 mark. My tent buying interested was piqued by this deal.
Here are the contestants so far:
Wanderer Larapinta 10 Person Dome Tent $189 - seems to be a popular deal, but I dont know about the brand or its reliability.
Wanderer Goliath II Dome Tent 10 Person $289 - the idea of having 2 rooms really pleased the wife, so we started looking at those options.
Coleman Instant Up 8P Tent $299- Someone suggested snowys.com.au and I found their options quite interesting too. This one is instant up… and seeing the tent go up and down in a jiffy in their demo videos really puts me to ease, esp given we're rather new to the world of camping.
OZtrail Latitude Family Dome Tent $299 - 3 rooms! Just not sure of this brand.
Coleman Montana 12 CV Family Tent $449 - the luxury contender. I read a great review so was compelled to check it out.
I understand that tents are usually comfortable when at half the rated capacity. Is the wanderer/coleman brand reputed? Anything to watch out for? Any other deals/tents I should consider?
Your critique is appreciated!
Coleman is a brand I would recommend from personal experience. The others.may be good but I haven't used them.
My advice is to go check them out if you can.
Tldr, go check them and pretend you need to use it. You'll find the pros and cons.
