Hi

Were looking for some advice on which family tent to purchase next. We currently have the Vango Colorado 600 dlx but it's just not watertight enough for our liking.

Were thinking along the lines of either the Lichfield Sandwood 4+2 or the Eurohike Primavera 6.

Any advice on these tent's will be greatly appreciated or alternative suggestion's will be concidered. We dont have a fortune to spend on a new tent and dont want to spend over the £250 mark and we would prefer to keep away from 2nd hand tent's. (Our colorado was 2nd hand)

Thanks in advance.

We have had loads of tents over the years all new, but I can honestly say the best one we have ever had is the last one we bought, a second hand Cabanon Aruba.

It is huge, very well made heavy canvas with polyester type roof, everything you would want from a family tent.

We paid £200 last year, and it is as new, came with the original reciept for £1000.

The only draw back is because it is so well made and sturdy, it is very heavy and bulky. But only to be expected.

Top tent.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies.

We thought about getting the Hi-Gear Zenobia but then i read the reviews and changed our minds. I really like the look of the Lichfied sandwood, but looks are'nt everything. I dont think we'll be rushing into buying a new tent ATM but it's nice to have some feedback regarding other tents.

I think the 600 will have another outing before it's done for. The next one will defo be as watertight as it can get.
