Wow
![Exclamation :!: :!:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_exclaim.gif)
Loads of info there
I did consider 'Quoting' all of the parts that interested me but I'd be here all day
I think that I'm getting closer to a decision with regards to a tent now & have pretty much discounted both of my first choice Vangos in favour of a Coleman Phad X3 as it's slightly smaller that the Vango Omega, so I feel it would be better for when I'm using it by myself, it's a dome/geodat construction & my understanding is that this will be far more stable in windy conditions than a tunnel construction tent, the Coleman Phad will also free stand without guy ropes & finally it has a far higher Hydrostatic head figure than anything else I've seen in the same price range
![:D :D](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
I'm still not entirely convinced though
![Thinking :think: :think:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/eusa/think.gif)
my worry with regards the Coleman Phad is the head height being only 104cm compared to 140cm in the Vango Omega

I have no idea if this would be an issue or not
Coleman Phad X3

I do like the look & idea of the Caranex style tents that you can back your vehicle up to
![Drool :drool: :drool:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/eusa/drool.gif)
But they do seem to come in some monster sized bags that would require a LWB truck just to haul it around
![Shocked :shock: :shock:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_eek.gif)
So I've completely discounted these
![:) :)](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_e_smile.gif)
For now
Thought I was getting somewhere & then Mr Rubie posted up a link for the Quenchua 2 second tents

Nice
![Drool :drool: :drool:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/eusa/drool.gif)
Me likes the idea of these
Anyone got or had any experience of a Coleman Phad X3 that they would like to pass on
![:) :)](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_e_smile.gif)
Or one of those instant pitch tents come to that
Am I worrying about the head height to much
![Question :?: :?:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_question.gif)
Is there really very much difference between having 140cm or 104cm head height in terms of a tent for a couple of nights over a weekends fun
Ah....

Nearly forgot

MATTRESSES, I had no idea that the inflatable ones would be cold
![Shocked :shock: :shock:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_eek.gif)
Cheers for that
![Thumbup :thumbup: :thumbup:](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_thumbup.gif)
So self inflating ones 2, 3, 5 or 7cm then what's your preference
Oooh......One last thing

Sorry this must be my age but Chris
