Last year I bought this model but don't know the colour.Do you know please? I have emailed Vango but no reply yet.I was hoping to get a canopy to match.Any ideas please?

Wont the ensign-blue/angel one be a match?

How do you find your Venture 500?  Is it quick to put up?  I was thinking about the Vango Tamor 500 but as far as I can see it's more or less the same as the Venture.

Does anyone know if the carpet for the Tamor 500 fits the Venture?

I beleive it does.  I have just bought a carpet and a large sun canopy from outdoor megastore for my 2006 vv500 - had a right game getting the colour right but outdoor megastore were extremely helpful.  Would highly recommend them.

So what colour did you get in the end then Jacqszoo?  Was it the ensign-blue/angel as we thought?

I must say that I think this tent is exceptional value for money. I have ordered the carpet and footprint for this tent.Whether it is under Venture or Taymor, it will fit. The bedroom pod is fully enclosed and there is a riser groundsheet in the porch area.There are some bargains to be had on the venture if you look around,cos obviously they want to market the Taymor now lol ! I too can recommend Outdoor Megastore for their helpfulness.

Thanks for your replies people.oops, meant to be a smiley face here but not working lol !! Imagine a thumbs up !!

If you buy a carpet for the VV500 does it mean hat you don't need a sleeping mat?
Thanks,Ian

Well, I think if you were a hardened Scout or other non-tenderfoot then you could sleep on the carpet and not utterly freeze to death. But for the vast majority of us wussy people a sleeping mat of some sort would be a necessity.

I have just bought a venture 500, but it is a greenish colour, all the pictures of it seem to be blue, I wanted to get a canopy for it, any ideas anyone?
