Advantages: Compact/ Lightweight/ Portable/ Smart/ Spacey for a 4 berth Disadvantages: Erection time!/ Instructions/ Not suitable for young children
My family had a weekend camping in Skegness two weekends back. Luckily enough, the week before I had recieved a free tent from my company so it saved me a few bob.
The tent in question was this one. A Vango Alpha 400 4 berth dometent.
I am a very occasional camper, in fact I havn't been for over ten years and I found tents had changed a whole lot in that prevailing time.
The tent comes in a lightweight holdall. Very compact and easy to carry around. It took up hardly any space in our Citroen Picasso boot at all.
We arrived at the campsite in Ingoldmells just outside Skegness and placed ourselves in our desired location. Two of my sisters were also there with their families and we all proceeded to pitch the tents.
I had already made sure prior to leaving, we had instructions, so was fairly confident we wouldn't have much ...
Advantages: Good quality, great value, spacious and easy to assemble. Looks great too Disadvantages: We haven't found any yet
We own an slightly older Vango Diablo 600 family dometent and its probably the best investment we ever made. Recently we looked around this new model as we are looking to upgrade and the design changes they have made are excellent. For example, the addition of the side door and the extra height in the bedrooms. Our current tent had served us very well and has accommodated our family of four through all weathers during week-end breaks and two week summer holidays. The tents take about 45 minuted to erect (2 people ideally required). The sewn in groundsheet is great for two reasons. The first being that it helps keep heat in and cold out and the second being it stops creepy crawlies joining you for company. We have used our existing tent in October in England and have not been cold ( with the help of a small heater). The outer ...
Advantages: Just a cool looking, well designed and functional tent. Disadvantages: None for me.
With T in the park weekend over and a great time had by all, I thought I would review the tent that was my home for the weekend. The tent in question was a Confidence Mars 4 Man Waterproof DomeTent and although it is a 4 ?MAN? tent there were only me and my two girlfriends staying in this one (well that?s my story and I am sticking to it)!
Now I am no camper so I cannot really give too much comparison between this tent and any other except to say it was worlds apart from the old tents I used to camp in as a kid. This tent has one separate bedroom compartment with zippers which would have been useful if any of us had picked up some guy and needed a bit of privacy (BUT WE DIDNT)!!
It also had air vents so whilst being completely waterproof it did not become sweaty and therefore wetter inside than it was out, possibly the best thing ...
