Would this be 3 full sized rugby players or two average sized people plus a toddler? How heavy would be too heavy?
Talked about on the forum quite a bit but I'm still in favour of two smaller tents plus a tarp.
My old FairyDown Plateau is unused and unloved at the moment but it is over 4.5 kilos and really a 4+ white season tent and tight for 3 adults

Hey MD
Thanks for your response- I think the Fairy might be a little overkill.
Thinking two adults and a little one.
2 tents and shelter would work well, I agree. At least someone, somewhere might get some sleep!
But the convenience of 1 pitch seems good...
We're considering Roman Cradle 3 (shock horror) OzTent.
But the vestibule and ventilation look naff.
Where might I find the thread with your thoughts?

We would use our Nallo 3 but it's not it Oz, sadly...

I was just about to suggest the Anjan 3.
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.

You missed out when I sold my own expedition tent but any tent with kids would benefit from an extended vestibule, so Nallo3 extended or similar would be my own recommendation

Thanks P, but that would be well out of my budget. I can only wish, jellyfish.

Thanks Pierre,
But I probably should have clarified that we're after a more traditional Geodesic or similar style poled tent.
2 vestibules would also be lovely.

I have just posted my Hilleberg Nallo 4p for sale if you are still interested in a family 4-season tent
