I'm considering this size need to sleep 2 adults and my son who is six. SHMBLT wants the extra space to be able to cook/prep food etc and it would be great to have the space just to chill out and make things bushcrafty.
I have two expeditions planned and booked for next year but in 2008 I want to do a summers-worth of travelling through Norway, Sweden etc prolly take 9 countries and have a big comfy tent with a stove really appeals to us. I'd prefer to have too much space than too little and as this adventure requires a lot of driving the weight aspect is of no importance.
Looks like we will buy the same as you
Cheers,
Phil.
