We have the Vango Sumatra, haven't used it yet, was supposed to use it this weekend but with the weather we cancelled.

We have pitched it and it's very nice and light inside. We only paid 175 for it so it was an absolute bargain.

Might be worth looking at.

Also there is the Coleman Sahara. It was at the NEC in a grey color but couldn't see it on their website. May have to phone Yeomans

Could be of interest, a smaller Cabanon on eBay...oldie but a goody

Outdoor action sometimes get sample tents in and they are brand new with warranty, but cheaper. Ours was missing a toggle and we ended up with a partial refund that brought it down to 175

As for the Coleman Sahara, we tried to do a search and can't find it in the polycotton. We even tried Coleman's site. It was about 230 or 220 at the show. It was really really nice and we thought about going back up to the show to get it, then we stumbled across the Sumatra

The Sumatra is a 6 berth but feels more like a 4 berth, it's only 300 wide compared to I think 420 on the Bear Lake. The length is about 500+ so not too big.  Our first pitch attempt took us 25 mins and that was down to sorting out the poles, so it is very quick to erect. We bought this for our weekend tent and can't wait to put it to use.

If you're interested in seeing the sahara, contact Yeomans and see if they can help. I'm sure they didn't sell them all.
