Seems to be a lot of Robens on sale ATM! There's a few for under £100.

Hi all - my partner and I are going on a 3 month cycle trip starting in Japan, possibly going s.korea and/or China depending on how far we get next year.
We need to get a new tent for it and want a 3 berth and DURABLE!
What are people's views on the best tent for the job? Is a Hubba Hubba the best all rounder? Some of the big agnes tents look pretty good too!

Either will work for 3 months. From my anecdotal evidence (and being a Copperspur owner) the Hubba hubba is more durable than Big Agnes offerings.

SlingFin are a more durable and weatherproof, or Hilleberg if you want maximum durability and strength (but with a big weight and cost penalty).

I’ve an Alpkit something or other, copy of hubba hubba. Used it on a month trip round France and it was fine, still in good condition too

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
