"The 2007 killingtons have an issue with leaking and have been recalled by vango so I wouldn’t rush t buy the killington just yet

 http://www.vango.co.uk/news.asp"

Hi there,

this is a great tent but our 400 has leaked and is currently undergoing testing.apparently ours is the first and only 400 to do so. will let ya know outcome.

it's a shame cos we really like this tent - size/space and ease of erection can't be faulted!

Hi

Interesting to see your comment about the 400 leaking, we had the 600 earlier in the year it leaked, it was recalled, returned, refunded.    We were advised the  400 wasn't affected so gave it a try, same story - it's now going back for a refund.  Vango categorically stated the 400 was ok, so been very faithful to Vango over the last 20 years or so and been very pleased with the equipment, we are extremely disappointed as we really like the design and layout of this tent.  What was the outcome of your tent?  Have you bought an alternative, can't find anything similiar?

have you tried camping international on the A2 in Gillingham???

they may well have one.

hi there

After taking delivery of a second killington 400, again it leaked. This was returned and refunded - we were not taking delivery of a 3rd and certainly can't wait till they sort the problem. very disappointed in vango. We are now the proud owners of an Outwell Montana 6,slightly more expensive but far greater quality with a more practicable and useable space.

hi there,

we felt that the montana 6 is a far more practicable design with all of it's "footprint" area being used.
