I am thinking about buying A Vango Diablo tent but having trouble making up my mind which size to go for, the 600 or 900. There will be 4 people using it mostly, but could be 6 sometimes, I have been advised to go as for as big a berth as I can? Any help would be much appreciated. (It would be 2 adults and 4 children by the way!)

Also can you leave a bedroom pod out if you want to?

We have the 900XP and no, you can't leave a bedroom pod out. There are only four of us, but we use the extra bedroom for storage, which keeps the main part of the tent free(ish) of clutter. The only downside of the 900 is that it is pretty big, and some sites won't accept it. Most do though, so don't let that put you off - brilliant tent!

There are loads of tips to putting up the 900 - the best is to get the main poles in (3 main ones) and then get inside and lift before trying to secure the poles. Any questions - just ask. We have put ours up loads of times.
