Hello!  we're about to buy a Vango Tigris 800 (have tried one out, the small-village size is perfect for us and three wee ones); but have just seen Vango's new 'lights out' feature in this year's models - has anyone any experience of this?  Is it worth paying extra for?  I think I can get a 2010 model for under £250, but the cheapest I can find for the 2011 is £295.  Anything that might help us all get a little more sleep would be great.

thanks Mokas.  We are buying a new tent anyway; and as a bit of an expert in blackout fabric, it would probably cost us more than the extra £50 to kit out bedrooms of this size ourselves, as well as adding bulk to the tent; but it all depends on how effective it is...  when I think about it, we'd pay quite a lot of money for even just a wee bit more sleep!

We have Kampa's version - sleeptite system - on our Kampa Bude 4 and it certainly makes a difference first thing relative to the cream inners on our large tent. Our son certainly sleeps longer, so we do too.

Three Tigris 800 tents on here, well below what you are looking to pay, got mine from here and it is perfect.
