Hi everyone. I'm looking for a tent with a SIG in the whole tent. Saw the Outwell Idaho L at the weekend and its exactly what we're after eg. has a zip round the entrance to make it completely 'sealed' rather than just the bedrooms. 

However I've been looking at lots of second hand Vango tents online but can't work out if they're sealed around the door area or just have velcro.

I know the Vango Diablo is fully sealed but is the wrong layout for us. Can anyone advise or recommend any Vango tents please?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my lack of knowledge!

Ok, no responses. In that case, does anyone know how I can tell if a tent is completely sewn in (bedrooms and living area) when I look online. Thanks very much.

Evening,

I am afraid that I cannot recommend any Vango tents, but I can say that the Outwell Idaho is a great tent.

We have the Idaho XL, and we love it. It is a fully sealed unit and it withstood some pretty heavy downpours and high winds last summer, leaving us very snug inside.

We have the Idaho XL too and love it to bits.  It is a full SIG with full zip around the door.

Already it has stood up to some pretty stormy weather without batting an eyelid.

Get one (or the L) and you won't regret it!

i echo the abovve, i have a idaho xl and have been in horrendous weather, and winds gusting to about 50mph, yes the tent did move a bit, but nothing major and no broken poles/pegs etc, i love my idaho and i hope it lasts many a year to come.

Have to agree the Idaho XL (or L) is a fab tent. Yes it has what you are looking for re sig and sealed doors etc.

The Coleman Evolva meets the sig and door criteria and can be set up to be like the Idaho XL or L .

As for the general question of Vango, it all depends which range you choose from .Most manufacturers offer tents at different pricepoints. The higher the price , better the quality (argueably!!) and/or more features. These days the features you desire are common place in middle of the range tents and upwards , though exceptions can occur either side of this pricepoint.
