Hi All!

Need some advice please, im looking at buying a Sunncamp Evo 400 or the Vango Tigris400/Orchy500. Which would be the best tent to have or is there any other alternatives you'd recommend? Have read the tent reviews, but both seem very highly rated.

Its for two of us plus all our gear! Happy to pay <£200.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Gem

I can't believe this - I was just going to ask the same question!!!!!!

Hubby and I went looking at tents at Go Outdoors this morning and these were the two makes we are most interested in. I too have read the reviews, but I have noticed that Vango seems to get very mixed reviews, some love them, but others find the quality of the tents unreliable.

Does anyone have any views on the build quality of vango tents?

hi I have the Evo400 and its a nice tent but have now just bought the Tigris400 and find it far more pratical. There is a lot more usable space in the Tigris and (to me anyway!) alot easier to erect. if you have any further questions just ask

Thanks for your comments!

Today we found a nearby shop that is selling last seasons Evo400 but it is possibly ex display.

Is there anything in particular to look out for apart from the general wear and tear?

Thanks!

If its been on display outside , it will have a much shorter lifespan . tent fabric degrades with sunlight UV rays etc , and one thats been out in all weathers all season will be like one thats had several years of Normal use.
if its only been on display indoors , check zips and seams for wear and tear .

Have bought the Evo 400 today and put it up. Just wondering what the 2 velcro loops are next to the left hand door (looking from the sleeping area)?  Are they for an accessory, and if so, what?

Hopefully going to try it out on the Bank Holiday weekend!

I believe the velcro loops are to hold electric cable going from Cable entry point in the SIG to the Light hanging point

Thanks. We we're wondering about that and what you say seems to make sense.

We don't have EHU though! Oh well, it'll come in handy for something.
