Hi,

Has anyone got one of these? Are they good? Possibly looking to buy one for weekend use (2 adults and an 11 year old).

Martin

Yes they are good, i bought one of this years models a couple of month ago. Easy to erect in 10 mins and they stand up to the wind very well. Nice and light inside too. I think the best price i could find was camping international £99 delivered. We are same as you Martin 2+1 and have had a few outings with rain and wind and it stood up well. It will be pitched in pickering tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks Mango Man,

Good to hear from a fellow yorkshireman (although I defected to the south 22 years ago ...).

Sounds like it's the ideal tent for the odd weekend away to compliment our Montana 6 - which is a bit big for 1 or 2 nights only.

Also Camping International's Horsham store is 20 mins drive from the Outlaws, looks like a visit this weekend is on the cards.

Cheers,

Martin.

Hi folks. We're hoping to replace our Montana 4 with an Evolution 400 - car is too small for the Monty. Does anyone know if we will be losing a lot of room? We plan to use the Evolution for weekend AND week long holidays....

You would certainly lose quite a bit of living space in changing from a Monty 4 to the Evo 400, which could crimp your holiday enjoyment if the weather is poor on a longer break. Whilst the Evo's living space measurements look okay, the roof is quite sloping so the amount of useable space at full height is limited (see pic here)

Do you need to have standing height in the bedroom? Cos if that is not as important as living space I would suggest that you look at the new Vango Idaho? HERE

It has a domed living space and a tunnel bedroom - so you would have more useable living space than the Evo 400,  AND a smaller overall tent package  (11kg, 60cm x 20 cm size).

Thanks Foggers. Is that an Evolution I spy in your gallery? Plus I think we may have been at New Hall Farm the same weekend as you. What a nightmare getting our Monty dried after the awful rain we had. This is another issue to us. Not only is the car too small but we live in a flat and if the tent is really big, we have trouble drying it out. To this end, do you think the Evo 600 would be too big for us?

Surely the SunnCamp Evolution 400 is still absolutely unbeatable in it's class/price range
