Advantages: Good size, quite high, sturdy, easy to put up

...to stand up it. The Vango Venture 500 was set up and was a winner as soon as we looked at it. Dimensions and Layout The tent measures approximately 12' X 8' and is about 5'10" high at the highest point. There is a large porch at the front which takes up about a third of the length of the tent, and the rest is taken up by the bedroom. The Porch The porch is a good enough size to set up a table and two chairs to eat if required, as ...
...wind and some rain. The Vango Venture 500 stood up to the wind brilliantly considering its size and height and as long as it is well pegged down it can withstand quite strong winds with very little problems. We had a little rain this weekend and had no problems with leaks however we have been out in fairly heavy rain before and this manages to find its way through the material so I would not recomend it in the rain, however it is only advertised ...

Review of Vango Venture 500

Vango Diablo 600 family dome tent

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 dome tent 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 ...
...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 flysheet dries very quickly if got wet and the whole thing packs into a smart carry bag which easily fits into the boot ...

Hardest Erection Ive ever Had !!

Advantages: Compact/ Lightweight/ Portable/ Smart/ Spacey for a 4 berth
Disadvantages: Erection time!/ Instructions/ Not suitable for young children

...question was this one. A Vango Alpha 400 4 berth dome tent. 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. ...
...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 trouble. However things don't always go to plan do they. We laid out the groundsheet easily enough and secured it. Ten minutes later we were still trying to work out where the poles went and which holes they went through. I looked round at my sisters tents who had both managed to virtually erect theirs ...

Review of Vango Alpha 400 Dome Tent

Robust, spacious 6 berth tent

Advantages: very spacious, steel frame
Disadvantages: large pack, heavy

Nice, robust, tent. Apparently some sellers discontinued it as there were concerns over it leaking, but we've had a couple of very rainy nights in ours and no problems. Durability - some of the hooks/clips that attach the bedroom pods to the tent have come off (due to children jumping around) but can be sewn back on. It comes with a DVD showing you how to put it up - you can do it without watching it but there are some handy tips so it's worth a ...
...camping trips, but found it cut pitching time by 10 mins or so - it now takes us around 45 mins to pitch. Loads of room - spacious bedrooms (easily sleeps 6), large living area. Great for families as there's space for cooking, playing, etc. Good layout, with the bedroom/living room dividing line going along the lenght of the tent rather than the width (so the tunnel arc is from front to back rather than side to side if that make sense). This means ...

Review of Vango Breckenridge 600 Family Frame Tent

Vango Hurricane

Advantages: A great robust and easy to use tent
Disadvantages: Ground sheet could be thicker

This really is the ultimate tent if there is ever to be one. It is incredibly quick and easy to put up. The fly sheet first design allows you to put up your tent in bad weather with out getting the insides wet unlike the Hurricanes other competitors. Once up the tent is incredibly spacious with ample storage space, it even has a small net shelf at the top of it. The porches at each end also provide ample storage space for any gear and also allow ...
