Vango Yukon 6, Sunncamp Evolution 600 dl, Coleman new range and Outwell Vermount M.

I am so confused which of the above to buy. I need to put a tent up by myself and don't want one that takes forever. (I have a diablo and it takes over an hour)

Any suggestions?

I would really struggle to put the Montana up by myself.

I have just booked tickets for the Outdoor show at the NEC. Hopefully there will be loads of tents to look at!!

Hi Julie ,

I have been thinking about the Diablo 400 for myself , 2 boys ( aged 8 & 5 ) & 2 labradors . I really like its style especially with the sewn in groundsheet but am very concerned that I would not beable to put up by myself .

Can you put your Diablo up by yourself . I am sure my boys would help but they are only young so might get bored helping me for an hour .  Is it not likely to get quicker when i have used for a few times .

My other option was the Vango albany which it says on the website takes 20 mins to put up .

Thanks

Joan
