Just wondered if anyone could tell us whether there is space in the sleeping area of the Icarus 600 for two single and 1 double blow up beds and space to tip toe around.

(We are a family of two adults, 2 children 14 and 11.)

We Know it is a six berth, but to fit these beds in some tents we have seen may be a squeeze.

We are about to purchase this tent, can anyone also give adivice on the cheapest place to buy?

Many Thanks.

In answer to your question the 600 will comfortably accommodate the double and two single airbeds.

As regards price I know Taunton Leisure have this for £164 including delivery.  This is a competitve price but possibly not the cheapest.

A great tent by the way and very easy and quick to pitch.

Yes we have got this tent, just the two of us plus dog so plenty of room for us.

As I said the sleeping compartment (which has a divider) has enough space for your airbeds plus room for a sensible amount of holdalls etc.

The living area is also quite adequate for four as well.

The thing is not all airbeds are the same size, I've got a variety of airbeds and I've got one single which is 73cm and another which is 100cm wide.

The best thing you could do is either measure your airbeds, or find their dimensions on a website. Then compare them to the dimensions of the bed pod.

One of the things about the 600 is the length is slightly shorter than the 500 (which I have). The bed pod is 10cm shorter ie 190 cm rather than 200 cm. Just to be on the safe side check that dimension too. It should be fine in most cases but it's safer to check before purchase.

There is a online store selling the Vango Icarus 600 dlx as well, which is one 'hoop' longer than the standard one.

 Hi we have got a this tent, and we managed to get a single tesco air bed a double asda and a double gelet air bed in the bed rooms with the divider down, no room to stand tho. this was the last night tho when our friends stayed over and ut their air bed in the living bit, however we did have just the two double air beds with the divder up and  had room to move. hope this helps
