Have been scouring the forum boards trying to find some comments on the above tent; but no one seems to be posting any topics.  Could anyone give us some feedback on this tent before we go and buy one?

Thanks

For two adults and one child.

Not sure if you've already purchased?  We have recently bought the Killlington 400 whilst we love the design of the tent and have always had Vango tents we have been disappointed to say the least.  First of all, the size and layout is fantastic we are 2 adults and 2 children and the tent is plenty big enough.  Whilst it states 2 pods sleep 2 they easily sleep 3.  Assuming the tent does what's it is intended to do it would be perfect - it could be improved by adding a fly net to the rear door and adding more velcro to the windows to stop them flapping in the wind!

We had the Killington 600 in May and it was recalled and  leaked.  We then decided the extra bedroom wasn't necessary and enquired about the 400.  Vango categorically stated the 400 didn't have the same fault as the 600 and 900, ie:  leakage on the anchor points we went for the 400.  We soon discovered the 400 also leaked in exactly the same areas of the groundsheet.  We felt very let down as this tent clearly hasn't been fully tested and we've always had Vango and thought very highly of them.  Our previous Vango has been in extreme weather conditions and has survived without problems.  We believe the design of the ground sheet is very poor and really hope Vango sort this for 2008.  Still now very undecided whether to stay loyal to Vango or try maybe Outwell or Khyam?  Fortunately the retailer we purchased from have been excellent and we've been able to return the tent for a refund.

Anyone else had a problem with the Killington 400?
