As Val said poles do go all the time as they are often under a lot of stress holding up the tent canvas. However, Vango offer a lifetime guarantee on all of their tents and if you take it back to the retailer with your receipt you should at least get the tent repaired FOC. If it does prove to be a manufacturing issue it is not unheard of for Vango to offer a replacement.

  Hi juless,  we have also just got back from our first trip with our vango killington 900 & also 1 of the main poles split + the flysheet ripped after zipping the side door closed . I had to stitch it up & seal it , whilst we were there .  Our old tent the suncamp 3000 is better constructed .  I dont think this tent is ment to last , which is a shame , as when its up it looks good & has loads of good features .

hi andy you`ve got me a little worried now ive just bought a killington 600 , and after reading your thread don`t know now if it will be a white elephant, we have previously had a wynster satellite 6 and had no problems with it, so now very confused

Hi nanook

sorry to worry you about the Killington , i dont like fiber flex poles & i think the quality of the materials is quite low . I would like to see it in some of the storms we have been in our suncamp , never know it might be fine . Apart from that it looks good & has loads of room .
