I came across this site to which helps to decide
which type of tent to buy and stuff. ITs like a
Tent selection
guide for dummies.

http://tentshq.com

http://www.camping-tent-guide.com/

Good for people who still have to buy their
tent and don't
know which one to buy.

Amazon has some good deals with free
shipping on some of the tents. Definately a
good alternative if you want
to see lots of options. They offer tents
from $20 ~ $200.

There is one I really like is "10- by 8-Foot
Four-Person Two-Room Tent". Its a dome
style
tent with lots of room. Price tag is $40
(including shipping).

what do you say Manish?
