I need help!!!  I'm looking to replace my Gelert Vario 6 tunnel tent. It has given great service but is now looking tatty and has a few rips. I had the older model with the 2 x 3 bedroom setup which was perfect.

I am looking for something similar with the same  2 x 3 person bedroom set up and a sewn in groundsheet.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi  I had the same tent but replaced it this year and bought the Sunncamp Invader 600 which is almost the same except it has a sewn in groundsheet.  i was really happy with it.

Hi Alison,

thanks for that, looks great. Do you think the bedroom units from the Vario 6 would fit in the Invader? It's just at the moment I can get a double air bed in one unit and 2 singles in the other. Not sure if it's possible to do that if it's a 1 x 4 and a 1x2.

 

Thanks

yes we had a double in one bedroom and could have put two airbeds in other side.

If you are happy with Gelert, then a good replacement for the Vario 6 is the Horizon 6. It is one of Gelert's best sellers, and comes with the option of adding porches and canopies for extra space.
