Yet it is surprising how many of these economical-to-buy tents soon become expensive as problems start to arise - they leak, they tear, they rot, the poles break, the seams come undone, the rubbers perish, etc, etc. Cheap almost always means inferior. Inferior almost always means disappointment. Therefore, it is always smarter, and cheaper in the long-run, to buy a good quality tent - Cabanon.

There is lots to be said for the small tent - they are generally cheap, they come in small, sports-style bags, they fit easily in the boot of the car, they are generally light and easy to carry and they can look lovely when pitched correctly. However, surely the ideal tent for camping, particularly for a family, is one which has plenty of room for you to move around, without standing on each other, and one which provides a generous area for living, cooking, eating and sleeping.
