hi,

can anyone tell me whether the sunncamp vario 600 is worth getting?

i've got 2 kids (4 and 6) - attracted to the tent by its SIG and space.

any thoughts welcomed,

thanks mark

I looked at the Vario 6 before I decided on the Monty 6.  They do have a good loyal following here so I'm sure someone will be along shortly to advise!

hi

we bought the vario 6 last year, we got the tent for the space and how easy it was to put up. i have 2 girls 4 & 2 they sit in the car while the wife helps me put up the first pole, once thats in i can do the rest myself. The only problem we had was leaking zips in a torrential storm last august in norfolk the tent stood up to the wind unlike some others even saw an awning turn into a kite. Sunncamp have addressed this problem on the 2007 model. the zip problem woyld not stop me buying another vario.

It dosn't say were your from but give gary at www.crosscampingandleisure.co.uk a call his advice alone is worth the call.

good luck & happy camping

congratulations on your purchase. If i were you i would get the zip seams re sealed( if its a 2006 model) as this was the only fault we had with ours and it only leaked slightly when it fell down.

happy camping

Thanks for advice any ideas on what to seal it with is it best to do it when we have it  up on site?  never had this problem before with any of our tents although I have seen reports on this site about leaking seams on Vario 600+.  Think ours is probably 2006 model.........cheers

hi your best bet is to email sunncamp www.sunnflair.co.uk , tell them you had leaking zips. I did this and they sent me some sealent. put it up in the garden if you can and apply as per instructions.

dont panic to much ours only leaked when it was torrential rain and  then we just put a tea towel at the bottom of the door.

happy camping
