Morning All

Wanting to buy the vango orchy (after being seriously let down on an agreed private sale - why do people do that????)  does anybody know of any deals at the mo? cheapest i've found is £179

Also do you think theres much diff between 500 & 600 - haven't managed to see them pitched yet, hoping there are at the yeomans exibition at Sandiway this weekend.

Desperate to go away at easter & with small children think the SIG will give us abit more warmth - usually 1st camp is at end of may

your guidance (as always) is much appreciated

Have seen the Orchy 500 pitched in the new mauveish clour. It depends on how many the tent is for. The 600 has a better sized sleeping area by 30cm wide (3m compared to 2.7m on the 500). I did like the look of the 500 but would want a bigger sleeping are for 4 (2 double air beds).

Have you looked at the Vango Tigris, Icarus or the Easycamp Licata.

Hope it helps...

We have a 600 for 4 of us, and I cannot imagine squeezing our stuff into a smaller bedroom.....and I think we`re very minimalist!!

OH is 6`4" and he loves the tent too.

We have bought the large sun canopy as the only problem we had with it in the torrential "summer" was the driving rain came in when we were going in and out of the tent, and we didn`t want to store wet waterproofs in the living area.

We have a cheap tarp for cooking under
