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 familydometent 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: 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: Cheap, good value for money, very waterproof and durable Disadvantages: Heavy, bulky, quite small for two people
I have this tent and I from ym own opinion I think that it is fantastic! Although when I initially bought it I thought that it would be a faff to put up because it would quite bulky
The weight that it states on the packaging is about 4.3 kg which is a reasonable weight for such a cheap tent. I have never had to hike with it, but if you are walking with a small rucksack and the tent the load will not be too heavy, but it can seriously weigh down your rucksack.
As well as being quite heavy it is quite bulky for the actual size of the tent (from experiences)
I found it an absolute doodle to put up, three poles in the pins and it's up
Also the really good thing is, is that you put the fly sheet up first so you can out your kit under it when it is raining.
It has a reasonable sized porch which is big enough for my 65l rucksack ...
