We have a Vango orchy 600 2009 model, together with a Vango orchy extension 2010 model (the 2009 extensions were sold out on purchasing our tent). The 2009 just has a brow pole which does not extend to the floor and this year we have noticed that the dome poles seem to be taking the pressure of the extension and bowing out and the front of the actual tent has lost it's shape.

We have looked around and haven't found a tent we prefer, but have found a Vango orchy 600 2010 model online for £100 and just wondering whether to cut our losses with the 2009 version.  If you have a 2010 tent and extension, are you still happy with them or have you experienced any of the above problems.

Dont know the answer but thought I would loose the sad face for you.

If it was ok for 2 years would it be worth replacing the brow pole as any fibre pole can wear at the joins and become a bit floppy a new pole, which you can make, might solve the problem for another couple of years

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
