Hi,

Any opinions/recommendations on the difference between the utah and tigris and which is a better buy- have seen them for similar prices. Planning on using them generally for long weekends. My camping experience has often been true british wet and windy weather so any experience on how they fair in such conditions?

Also, anyone know why the Utah has been discontinued?

Thanks.

I guess the Utah has been discontinued as its very similar to the Idaho.

Don't know what price you can get the Vango at but the Utah 8 can be had for £270 from Taunton Leisure

I believe the Tigris is available from £235. For a package with fitted groundsheet and carpet , £289. Can not remember where exactly , but Aunty Google will help.

The Tigris is going to be very popular this year !!!

Dare to be different?

Is the lack of a sewn in groundsheet a big deal?  I'd like to know as I've ordered the Utah 8 and I'm having second thoughts now.

I have the Tigris 800 and love it... but that said I haven't seen the Utah.  I bought the Tigris package from Camping international with footprint and carpet for £289 and I love it!  It takes us about 30-45 minutes to put up (not including all the bits and bobs inside)  but there are so many tents out there I don't know how we ever chose ( we went to the display at camping intl, Horsham)  They now have the canopy on the side of it on display,  which looks great.  Good luck with your choice (ps if you buy the Tigris...watch the dvd will save you a bit of time!)

Not convinced.  I want a ZIG!!  I've cancelled my order for the Utah.  Knew it was too good to be true at £270.  Back to the drawing board for me.

We have just got the tigris 800, footprint and carpet from Highbridge, definately getting the canopy seen it complete in ABC (although I would never ever but from there) can't wait to try this tent out, we have been looking for months and this tent has everythinig we were looking for!!

Will be test driving at Fforest fields in June
