Is the Vango Killington 600 2008 model fully sewn in, including the porch?

I wonder if anyone can help. Need to upgrade my Diablo 600 to a three bedroom tent. Dont want to go up to the Diablo 900 as I think its too big for me and my two boys to put up if husband cant come with us.

Been looking at Kura 800dlx and Colordo 800dlx. They are both ok but not calling to me!

Have just seen the Killington 600 2008. I know that Vango have stopped making it but its size, with the three bedrooms and the large living space looks perfect for us. I have to be totally sewn in and cant tell if the porch is. Help please

thank you, at last my search can come to an end!

All I need to do now is find a good deal for one.

I imagine that the reason that Vango stopped making the Killington was because it never recovered sales/reputation after the quality-control issues in 2007. It's a shame because I think it was a better design than the competition.

The best deal I found was at JR leisure.

I ended up buying one from them and was less than £200.

Gotta say was one of the best decisions I have made, totally love the tent and the size of it is ideal for longer breaks.Spent a week at Springbank in it and it had loads of room for 4 of us and a dog along with all the other stuff that goes with us..

Somerset camping are doing it for the same price and its on its way to me now.

It looks very like my old diablo to put up. Cant wait for it to arrive and to have a pratice run in the garden.

Very similar tents .The difference between the two is that the Killington is flysheet first , and the Diablo has a dividing zip to seal off between the porch and the main living area.

I LOVE our Killington. IMO it's better than the diablo as duckjam says it is flysheet first.
I think it could do with a doorway through to the living area like the diablo though as in the winter months its a big space to get warm.
