We currently have a Vango Orchy 400 with a sewn in ground sheet. Looking to purchase a slightly smaller tent for when we camp for 1 or 2 nights. Can anyone recommend a tent that would fit this criteria. Thank you

Vango Kairos 400 - genuinely takes 2-10 min to pitch by one and has a remarkable amount of space.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

The advantage of the Kairos 400 is the fact that it is stand up height.

The Icarus 300 is a lot smaller.

The Kairos is very quick to pitch as 'speedcamp' says.

Good suggestion elizaD but the Icky 300 is only a 3 man in Vango's eyes. In reality it's better suited to two.

By the way Helen. Do you fancy a trip to MBP or somewhere similar in Sept. I can only do one weekend, 16th -17th Fully booked for holidays and camping for most of September.

I saw this tent on display at Snowdonia Adventure in Caernarfon and loved it. It was on offer for £199 for tent, footprint and carpet. Was very tempted but we were on the way back from holiday and couldn't even fit an extra cup in the car!! Funny how there is not a lot of info on them on the web. Lovely tent.

I think the lunar 3 is discontinued - don't know why because its a great tent and fills a gap in the market.  The Nebula looks like the 4 man version and by the look of it the Starview is bigger still.
