theres a reason the Vango was cheaper - and its not a good one!!!. did you keep the receipt and all the parts?
what a tent is made of is possibly the most important part of a tent, as thats what will govern how long till its fit for the skip - and Vango's 70D tents ... 6 weeks ish and its Not covered by the warranty!

anyone wanna buy a Solaris 400? - its only seen 3 days of sun - honestly!




Your not really selling it.

Yes we went, had a great day and bought a tent but not much else. Bit disappointed that it was mainly all air tents, which I know are the future but the cost was too much for us and would have liked to have seen more poled. Didn't think there was as many bargains as previous shows we've been to and like someone else said I'd have liked to have seen more camping than caravanning but guess that's the show. Walked miles, kids got fed up but had a good time.

Not sure why hankakampa is 'p**sing on my parade' so much. I wasn't asking if I should but it, I was saying I have bought it! We liked it, it fitted our budget and intended use, we chose it and spent our hard earned on it! Job done.

Agree.

We went with a figure to buy a tent, wife tried to extend the budget once we saw the air tents but we realistically couldn't afford them so went for the Orava which suited all out needs.
