Sorry to start two threads in one day. I hope this is allowed but we want to get our pressies sorted out soon.
We have acquired a few tents over the years and have had a Coleman bispace for three years which has served us well in Switzerland for 6 weeks in 2004, in west Wales last year for 9 weeks and this year off and on but it is now ripe and starting to rip in "South by South westerlies coming in strong". We have seen adverts for the Robens double dreamer which seems to combine the advantages of our Robert Saunders space packer's alloy poles and a HH of 5000 to repel British weather. Only two problems, we can't seem to find one to buy and will it stick the proposed softies trip to Italy next year to see the Roman sites for a couple of months in the summer. Will it go brittle like the Coleman?
PS I've tried 3 times to upload a picture but it keeps failing. I'm not trying to hide.

Have you considered the Vango Equinox range? We have had to get rid of a few family sized dome tents like the Bio Space in the past few years when they have finally come up to a bit of decent wind, and each time we went we took the Equinox 250 as a backup and have often had to use it. So this yera we decided to simply go for a larger Equinox, being just two of us the 350 does fine but the 450 would be luxurious. The Equinox range are bombproof in my opinion and they've seen us through some nasty nights of wind and rain.
