Hi everyone, we have seen a Gelert Lokon Vario 6 at a very good price and having read the reviews on here we are very tempted. We would really like to see one erected but can't find one near us i.e. Derbyshire. What is meant by a detachable rising groundsheet, is this tent easy to erect, are the bedrooms separate pods or just divided and is there enough height for a 2-tier double airbed without our faces being right up against flysheet as in our other tent? Has anyone a photo of back of tent? We would really appreciate any feedback to help us make a decision.

Hi Oranjeboom,

We have just seen this tent at a local camping showroom and are also very tempted!!! Sorry I can only help with one question which is that the bedrooms are separate pods and as Steve W52 says they were 4 and 2 berth.

We have seen it for £250 and I'm not sure if this includes the canopy??? Not sure this is a good price...I've found it for £219.99 on the web but it's sold out :-(

Thanks Steve and Welshrach for your prompt replies which have been really helpful. We really like the look of this tent and being 5.8M X 4M in size it probably fits on most pitches unlike our 4 bedroom pod tent which caused us some problems but  had less usable living area than the Gelert.

Here's a link Welshrach for £160 if there is any still in stock......

Thanks Oranjeboom,

I've just placed my order! Hoping it arrives in time for a trial before this weekend's camping trip now!!! Will try and find the canopy on-line now too.

Did you go for it or are you still deciding? Let me know if you are after more info and I'll take some pics for you when we get ours up.

Just got a call and they are out of stock :-(

We have gone with the Vario 5 instead at £139.99 so hoping that will be OK size wise for us. Should be as it's only me, hubbie and 2 dogs!

Will give you a full report when we get back next week!

Sorry welshrach,

I got the last one on Monday from LeisureShack.

I was going to get the 5 but the price dif for the 6 was minimal.

Hope you have fun with the 5.

Hi again Welshrach, how did you get on with the Vario 5?

We've finally taken the plunge and bought a Vario 6 at £150, which we consider a bargain!  Problem is, we probably won't be able to pitch it till next year, unless we get some freak weather sometime soon. Hope we've made the right choice.
