the actual measurements of the 900xp are 8.1m x 8.0m without guides, we pitched it at the weekend on a 9m x 15 m pitch and the guides were still with in the pitch, the 15m gave us a place to put the car, but i couldn`t get the van on unless i moved the tent over to the edge of the pitch, and i wasn`t gonna do that....lol. by the way it was at kelling heath in norfolk.

That was i think standard at kelling heath, i used to be 2 pitches, they have even bigger pitches,

Not wanting to be the "negative" one but we have a 2005 diablo 90 and are changing it for either an aspen 700 dlx or a Vermont xl...

We find the dome shape of the diablo looses loads of space around the edge, where you would stand tall things up(ie Cuboards)

And having one of the main poles snap in cornwall last year in heavy rain(When we rang vango to ask for the nearest dealers address to go buy one , they told us we had to go back to where we bought it......... Towsure in Sheffield!! )

So metal poles is another reason for a new tent!!

Hi Bizzy

i have found a few sites around norfolk that take large tents by ringing first and asking, so far the sites ive been to have been ok, off to deer glade in acouple of weeks and that sounds good, oh and im well happy with the 900xp

Hi Pottsy.

im glad someone else has said how cosy these tents are, we just had another weekend away in ours, i shopped around and looked at the blue one and wasn`t happy with the colours, so i got the blck/grey one, it was the nearest i could find to NUFC colours.lol.

the orange inside does make it feel cosy, i also purchased the outwell harford xl carpet with gives it the extra comfy feeling, if i knew how to post pictures i would.

pitching it is easy and i didnt look at the dvd, and my son is 13 and he knew what he was doing as well.
