Vango use dlx (delux) for a version of a tent that is a special offer via a retail outlet , or to signify some added benefit compared to the standard .Precisely what the difference is between the models , I can not tell you , but you would not be worse off by going for the DLX.Also consider the similar and possibly cheaper Vango Killington range.

i THINK the DLX had some extra height in the bedrooms added by a change in the poles there...

Hi Maggie. If you currently have the standard Diablo, you'll have tyhe one with the "saggy" bedrooms. Last year Vango listened to its customers and added an extra pole over the bedrooms making them the XP. This is an infinite improvement. This year's model is the DLX. Frankly I don't know what the difference is apart from the living space looks marginally bigger. We got a super deal this year on last year's model, which is what we bought.

Hope this helps a bit

Pete

The Outwell Hartfords are just about identical to the Diablos.

The Killington hasn't got the zipped "door" between the dome and the porch.
In some ways I wish it did, to lessen the area to warm up in there, but it's also a good thing as it makes it light and airy in there...

 

Picky moi?
