Taunton Leisure have the 2006 model listed as being in stock and they do mail order.  They were selling the 2005 model cheaper the other day - I think £89 but it isn't on their website.   I've seen a number of sites advertising both and the 2005 model has always been cheaper than the 2006 model so it's probably a case of shopping around.

Personally I'd rather have the 2005 model! 

It must be on sale somewhere because we were pitched next to the new green one at Easter.

The Taunton Leisure camping show has a green VV500 on display, so I guess that makes it a 2006 model? MT

How many times have you been there now MT?

When I went to Highbridge a month or so ago I think they only had the 2005 one up but perhaps they've shifted their old stock and have put up the new one?   they had the new one for sale as well

Only twice so far today. Ha ha.

No, I called in at the Cribbs Causeway one last weekend and they had the green VV there. MT

Go on, you know you want to. Listen, the tents are calling, calling....

I was very taken with the Wild Country Venturi 4. Very light to put up, only three poles, plenty of windows, clever little rain gutter thing, above the doors. I could stand up in it (but most people wouldn't be able to ). It was very windy when I was there and the tent felt very safe and solid. But no mudflaps (hmm, what do we think about that?) and two inners - which would be good for us but maybe not for you? MT

Does anyone know where I can buy one of these near Brighton (either model will do) Need the tent next week so can't buy mail order as all the sites I've looked at say around 10 days delivery time. Thanks

I am now very confused!!   They do have the 2006 VV500 at the Taunton Leisure show but it was blue - it was deff the 2006 as it had the toggle in groundsheet that was sewn in to the front of the inner but no sign of green at all?   I forgot to pick up one of their brochures though so I'm still not sure.

Still very confused about what to buy - think we're going to make do with the many tents that we've got for now including the duct taped VV500!!   Still hankering after a frame tent......

We bought a VV500 2005 model at Taunton Leisure's Highbridge site Easter weekend and it is blue, deffo blue.  Had a great time away last bank holiday in it, no problems with it having a lose ground sheet, it was very cold and we used the fan heater and it was toasty warm.

PS their customer service is fab, highly recommend dealing with them.

The 2006 comes in either The original 2 tone blue or the new 2 tone green. Both have the bathtub groundsheet.
