Right - having asked about the Ontario 6, now for the (only) other tent that we've seen that we think would be perfect for our needs.

Anyone got one? Are they hard to assemble? Average pitching time?

hi Marcia

we have a Breckenridge 400 and we love it.  It is really easy to pitch and we done it in about 30 mins.  Once you get the poles in and connected with the pins it is really straigh forward just peg one end out lift poles upright and seperate sections and peg.  Have to say though we ended up pegging and guying one end to make things easier.  Must warn you thought the first Breckenridge we had leaked quite badly from the porch above the window and the porches above the mesh ventilation at the back.  I contacted Vango who told me it was just a faulty tent and not a faulty desighn so we have had the tent replaced and are hoping that this one should be ok cause we love it.

Thank you!

Keep us updated then on the leakage issues and I do hope your new one has none of the problems of your first.

If its not too late to say, we purchased the 400 this weekend in hight winds and torrential rain after we had three poles in th eLockon snap..

It was brilliant easy to put up even in wind and DIDNT leak!! anywhere

i did however notice some pooling of water on the roof and in the shades above the window and air vents !! But think this was due to the weather when putting it up and it was easy to shift .
I hadnt even looked at this tent before I am in love with it now our saviour and a brilliant tent with loads of space..
