I own 5. A mountain tent quazer, a tentipi, a green outdoor bush shelter and various small one man tents.
I think I still have 4 - two tiny one man tents - a Coleman Cobra? and something else, a Kyam 4 man Igloo and a six berth Kyam ....
I have not used any of them in years (perhaps I should flog them? ) as I much prefer a tarp even in -10C conditions.
If I ever went to a "civilised" site they might prove useful ... but even then a well pitched tarp would give all the privacy needed...

Come on Bob, you have to show a picture, especially of the bonny bell tent, and the set up inside
Never had a problem, mate. It's the best 2/3 man job I've had - & I've had a few. I've used it Summer & Winter home & abroad in all conditions & it's been rock solid. Got mine off the 'bay new but well discounted. Invest in the footprint too. Cheers

I own one modified tent, now a single skin one, and one bivvy bag I don't want .
Anything I don't want to use/will never use is dispensed with one way or the other.

I have too many tents!
My three-man tent is a Hilleberg Salvo. I also have a Terra Nova Ultra Hyperspace which is for sale - PM me.
My two-man tents are all by Terra Nova - a Quasar, a heavy-duty Quasar and a Superlite Quasar (the Quasar and Superlite Quasar are for sale - PM me!). I also have a Vau De Space II tent, but I lent it to a friend and he packed it away wet, then returned it eight years late. It's a right-off. If anyone want a very cheap restoration project then PM me and it's your for the price of postage and packaging.
I also have a Saivo Unna one-man tent. I've been looking for a mesh inner for this tent, and thought I'd found one, but mistakenly I ordered the Akto inner instead, so if anyone wants an Akto mesh inner, PM me!
During my teenage years I used an old Force Ten, which was about 8 kilos. I still have it somewhere but I can't ever imagine lugging that thing around again. I much prefer modern tents!

Oztent RV3 with extension side pannels and front porch. Probably the best vehicle tent I have ever used.
If I'm not in that I'm under a tarp.

Having seen some of the lists that people have put together it makes me feel better about my longish list, besides my other half now has 29 pairs of Doc Martins so I can have as many tents as I want right? One for every occasion, I haven't included the rubbish ones that I bought for my kids for festivals etc.
Wild Country Duolite Tourer - brilliant for cycle touring and motorbike rallies
Wild Country Hoolie 2 - very recent addition as I work as campsite steward at Glasto and someone left this behind so I snaffled this one straight away for my daughter
Aztec Duro Plus - my first proper tent, this my fall back for festivals etc bomb proof construction but a bit heavy
Vango Sigma 400+ - large two door 4 man tent lots of space for 2 people on long holidays - hasn't let me down yet
Wild Country Monsoon 6 - useful for putting groups of kids in ebay bargain for £64
Jamet Brevet 4000 - french tent bought for girlfriend weighs 3kg but packs down really really small great for backpacking
Various other cheap tents have come and gone over the years mainly bought for kids (Argos, Asda etc) which is why I would rather buy quality second hand that cheap cr*p which brings me on to final tent which I am still waiting to be delivered from Ebay
Terra Nova Ultra Quasar bought for the princely sum of £100 - bargain of the century and can't wait to use it

I have one pop up tent from Decathlon, which is great for putting up quickly when camping with the family. One two man tent which is my husband's - twenty years old but still going strong - and the tent too, its been lived in in Alaska and survived being on the beach in Abu Dhabi in a sand storm, just needs reproofing and I just bought a tipi tent which fits 2 adults and 2kids but weighs only 2 kilos for backpacking, it's a Eureka Wicky Up.
