Default Need me a tent

Recommend me a cheap waterproof 1-2 man tent, foolproof to put up/down and easy to strap to the sv.

I have next to no real camping experience so other essential bits I should get are?

Dunna ask me I just spent £200.

Serioulsy look on Halfords website and Millets. Both have a tent sale and both have review pages for their tents. Oh and Argos too.

I have just spent 3 days looking at tents xxx

In this pic on the back of my SV at last years AR, I do have a renntec rack, but have sat as a pillion on this bike with panniers(instead of tailpack) and same camping gear without a rack on the back.

3 man Tent
Double Air Bed
Double Sleeping bag
Inflatable pillows

Tailpack and tankbag contained...
One long leather trenchcoat
One pair of New Rock knee high boots
Fancy dress
Trainers
Other clothes
HUGE towel
a girls wash bag and makeup
Shampoo etc

You get the jist of the kitchen sink



You just need to know how to pack it right

IIRC Shell, those pop up tents from Millets are like a massive flat circle...so not good for on the back of the bike, unless you need to use it as some sort of brake sail!
