About the Tent
The tent comes in a purpose made made bag and is no higher then 29 inches/ 74 cm ,the depth when stood up is no bigger then 10 inches/25 cm ,so is cylindrical in shape.(i'm sure could be folded smaller by someone who knows -as thats how big it is after I repacked it)
also included was 10 standard 7 inch tent pegs . Guy rope was included .
This tent comes only with 3 poles which are light and fold down small and very quickly . Although they seem small and fold down easily ,when in place they are strong and hold the tent up very sturdily. Also a repair part was included should one of your poles be damaged .

Inner tent has a lot of vents; good for summer but if it's cold ...
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.
