We have the Mayon Vario 6 - it differs from the Lokon in that it has rigid side poles with flexible over-the-roof poles.  The ground sheets in the living area fix down with "flat-headed" pegs.  The two bedroom/pods have sewn-in groundsheets, fly/mesh doors as well as privacy doors.  In the bedrooms there are mesh ventilation panels at the back that match up with the similar panels in the flysheet.  There are also two large ventilation panels on each side with flaps that can be propped open (with "legs") or fixed closed with velcro.  We have never experienced any condensation with this tent - we did in our Lichfield dome.

The front door has given us problems too, however re-arranging the front poles a bit usually sorts that out.  Overall we love our tent - the living area is nice and roomy, and a "6" is spacious for our family of four.

We have the Vango Vista 800 if your looking for a 6 Birth they do the smaller 6 birth version. TBS Vista 600DLX. We think the vista range is great.

Hi

We have a Sunncamp Vario 900  new this year so it has a SIG and the beauty of it is you can have 2 bedrooms or 4, so for weekends we just use the main tunnel with 2 bedrooms takes about 30 to 40 mins to put up. we are yet to use the 4 bedrooms but we will do when we go away for our 2 week holiday. So far it seems a great tent no complaints from us at all.
