Vango - Starav 200

I have a small tent (Vango Starav 200) for me and my dog, but when I go out with the kids hiking and wild camping I use an OEX Jackal III tent - which splits into two, so works to a certain degree but also is fairly tight when you add the sleeping pads. Any other ideas?

I might actually do it the other way around and sell the Vango and get a xmid 2 instead. That will cover my son and me for hiking and camping and when we need extra space I can either just take the oex or both the oex and xmid

Look at the vango starav it pitches outside tent first same style as that tent it does me good and enough space for all my gear

If you're happy with the Vango Starav get a second and set them up with the doors facing, and then set a tarp up over the gap. Easy to break down for carrying, and makes it feel like two bedrooms of a single big tent rather than sperate ones.

Naturehike or any vango within budget. You won’t go wrong with vango. My first wild camping tent was a vango and it lasted years. I was going to get it repaired, I loved it that much but now use a terra nova or wild country helm.

I'm assuming you're UK? Something by Vango or berghaus from GoOutdoors will do you fine. No reason to spend money if you don't need it (I killed a Vango tent in 3 weeks last year though so if it's more than an emergency tent then you may want to) Warning - last year camping in the black forest was near impossible without booking. I crossed it twice and it was slammed everywhere. The Vosges in contrast was lovely. Nice and quiet by school holiday standards so I'd head there first.
