Hello everyone,
I have a 110 and I am planning to go on a expedition from London to Kenya, I need a roof tent just to house myself, It needs to keep cool in the sun, I have a budget of £1000 for the tent. So what do you guys suggest.
 
The smallest possible! I am really happy about my EzyAwn and the 1.4 would be big enough.
I would also not be afraid to buy a used EzyAwn as it is repairable if any damages ..

I believe your budget would hold for a used one.

Better a used one in a good quality than a new in a bad quality ..

I would also go for a used one, I got mine on ebay for £500 it's a myway evolution 1.4 and it's been brilliant.

You need to consider where you will be going for what type of tent you want, it will either be canvas which has the advantage of being breathable and better at blocking out light but the disadvantage is that they are really heavy.

The other option is a nylon one, these are more waterproof, a lot lighter and they won't go mouldy like a canvas tent. The down side is that the material isn't breathable so you will get more condensation on the inside and also they don't block out the light as well as canvas.

I have an oasis2 nylon tent. It has an external fly sheet meaning I can open up the vent flaps to stop this problem.
