Hi All

Looking for a new tent and deciding between these two. Is the 700 that much bigger just wondered as I have found the 500 for £230-250 but the 700 seems to be £100 or more dearer. Is it worth it ??

Thanks

The 700 is a huge tent, we have the 500 and it measures 21ft x 12ft, these measurements are ideal, as it accepted on most sites.

But, it all depends on how many of you there are and whether it would be used for your main holidays or weekends. The aspen is a fantasticly sturdy and roomy tent, but you have to have a huge boot or trailer as its also heavy and huge when packed away.

Hope this helps.

When packed away, there are 2 bags, 1 for the poles and 1 for the tent. It weighs 43kg in total. The bags dimensions are

- Canvas 80x50x40cm
- Poles 110x30x12cm.

hi all

Go for either its a great tent. We have had 8 people sat in owes with a table .really feels like home .I usually carry the poles out of the boot of the car as the other half has a bad back .So i try and make it as easy as i can for him .You have to join team aspen now .happy camping

in the 700 you can get a queen size airbed in the main bedroom

and a double airbed in each of the other bedrooms

I'd go for the 700

we are two adults and 1 child

we use the spare room ask a walk in wardrobe as Vango supply it as such

Jonellis, Glad you brought that up, I bought my 700 2yrs ago, the first time we put it up we were left with 2 short poles, for the life of us we could not find out where were supposed to go, so we assumed they,d got into the bag by mistake somehow at the factory, it was 4 days into our holiday , i was lying down after a long day out, when i noticed 2 loops hanging down from the roof of the spare room, what the hell are they for i wondered? THEN IT CLICKED,, The two short poles just happened to be, THE WARDROBE RAIL.  WOW. Sussing that out made my holiday.  Bob.
