Has anyone got one.

We saw one yesterday and were very impressed.
We saw the 7 man but i've found out they do a 5 man version.

Hi weve been looking to urgrade our tent as we need more room and the wife and i keep going back to the maritsa 700 so thats what were getting in a few weeks, its for myself, wife and 2 daughters plus german shepard dog, we looked at the 500 but you can tell the difference in them space wise, were looking at the fact we have children/dog and it if it rains how much space will we need for us all to be not be under each others feet etc but also the porch area for cooking

I dont know where you live but our gooutdoors in wakefield has BOTH the 500 and 700 on display so see if you can view them both together and get a "feel" for them both ,  good luck

Also forgot to mention they have upgraded the maritsa for 2011 the HH is now 4000 instead of 3000 but also the sleeping pods are now "lights out" which means darker fabric so hopefully sleep longer in a morning and there seems to be more storage pockets    so keep that into consideration when looking as some places still sell the 2010 model

No problems with pitch sizes yet, wouldn't go to that site if they were though, plenty of other good sites without being ripped off. Pitching the first time took approx 45 mins in a very windy garden. Got it down to about 25 mins now using the pitching video from Yeomans on youtube of the Vermont instead of the silly Vango method!

We have just bought the 2011 Vango Maritsa 600.  The only place I found this was at attwoolls.

I'm confused as to why Vango bought out a 500,600 and 700 this year? Maybe they'll bring an 800 out next year!
