hi grinshady

weve just bought the vario 900 got it for a song ( kenmar campimng.co.uk £279.00 )

real easy to erect,loads of extras inside pockets,etc cable tidies, nice and airy as well, wife thinks it,s the mutts nuts, also appears to be nice and stable and loads of room, have a good look at all three 600,600 plus and the 900,going for different prices on various web sites but if you fancy the 600s the plus is better due to it,s extra width and storage/cooking space, either way i think you will be very happy with your purchase................happy camping......................stu.....

If you're going to get the vario 600 you might as well get the 900 as you can use it with or without the annex. Then, if friends want to come along or anything, you can pop the annex on and charge them half the pitch fee!!

weve just bought a vario 600 - plus or 900 would have been too big for the 2 of us , had it up in mum and dads garden and theres acres of space in it , hoping to take it out for first time in next couple of weeks - agree on the car space thing we have an Mg and all the stuff for a week is a squeeze (put the mrs on the roof rack but that uses more petrol lol)

If there's only 2 of you, the vario 600 will be more than enough. You could park your car in it too if the door was wider!

Hi Everyone,

We're looking for a large easy to erect weekend tent and have been surfing the net looking at loads of models.  One of our stipulations is a SIG or ZIG as the dog needs to be contained at night and we like to keep out the bugs and draughts. 

Does the Sunncamp Vario 600 have a SIG or is it simply a loose groundsheet as this looks like a good contender?

Hi

No you cannot get one big inner for the vario range but there will be a bigger Evolution next season. Something like a Evo 600 plus. Bigger living area and more doors.

Regards

Gary

I love my Vario 6 and assume it's a similar if not identical model. I find it very quick to erect and have managed to do it on my own - although it was a bit of a struggle but not impossible. Wouldn't be without it. It's easier to put up than my smaller tents.
