RantMachine Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Somewhat bike related...?I need a new tent for the rally and thought I'd ask for recommendations. Needs to fit two people, and needs to be nice and compact so it can fit on the bike along with a pillion. Oh, and it needs to be cheap Any recommendations?

littlecat Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 vango tempest 3 man ...big enough for 2 plus gear, will last forever , and well worth the less than 100 quid price tag if you shop around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 my one was £20 from asda, has lasted two rallies and a few other trips. dead easy to use and fits easy on bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 try halfords and see if you get discount with your trade card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Keep me informed Ollie, I'm after a tent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 +1 for VangoI have a banshee 2 man tent. But in reality its 1 person + gear or 2 small people + not much gear! So i would go for the 3 man tempest. Worth the money. Mines easy to put together once you put the liner to the outer. You can fold it up pre-built just need to insert the poles Very warm and comfortable and with a 5000 HH keep you dry!!! Check go outdoors out.

Tiggie Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 2 man tent is best for 1 person as you have room for your gear, since you are coming with someone and odds are neil (nman) will end up asleep in your tent i'd go for a +4!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You don't want anything less than 2 person EVERi bought a http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gelert-Solo-One ... B00322QRQE for camping across wales brecon beacons. I wanted something light. which it is. But i could JUST ABOUT get inside. Let alone my gear so i traded it in for my new tent (See above) So much more comfortable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonniebird Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 try halfords and see if you get discount with your trade card Think its unlikely, I couldn't get a discount for a new bicycle wheel and inner tubes.+ another 1 for Vango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
