If you travel with your family you will probably want to consider either an 8 man tent all possibly even a 6 man dome tent. It'll primarily depend on how many children you are traveling with. Aside from deciding on what size tent to purchase you may also need to consider whether you will invest in a brand new tent or if you will try to purchase a used one.
Why Buy A New Tent?
If you are able to afford it, it is probably best to purchase a brand new tent. The main reason for this is because you will need to be concerned about your children's protection and take comfort while you are traveling. You should try to get the best you possibly can for the sake of her children.
When To Buy A Used Tent
Of course, that's not to say you should not consider a secondhand tent. Some people have bought them and have found that they have been as reliable and durable as a new tent would be. Being able to spend less on the tent also meant that they were able to do more things while on vacation that they perhaps otherwise would not have been able to afford.
When Not To Buy A Used Tent
Unfortunately, everyone does not have the same positive results when they purchase a used tent. Some of the common problems that happened when people purchased secondhand tents included things such as the tent leaking when it rains and even collapsing on top of them while they are sleeping. There are also sometimes problems with different parts of the tent not being found when it comes time to put the tent up. Naturally any of these things could well spell disaster for your camping trip. It is also very difficult to return a faulty tent to the person you bought it from.
Good Quality, Inexpensive Tents
It is very possible, these days, to find good quality tents that are relatively cheaply priced. There are many different designs of tents available, and they are made to stand up to all different kinds of weather conditions. So, before you make your final purchase it would be good to research all the different good quality yet reasonably priced tents that are on the market these days.
You will probably find that you feel much more secure in taking your family camping when you have bought a new tent. It is just one less thing to have to be concerned about -- you can be assured all the parts will be there, and if any problems to come up with the tent it can always be returned or replaced.
