So you're dismissing an entire range of tents, simply because the HH is 2500?  I think I'd rather listen to the people who have actually used them and reviewed them in this site  rather than go by "your view"!  The lowest score in the reviews is 9 out of 10 - they can't be that bad can they?

Most budget tents from Halfords, Argos, etc... only have a 2000HH.  2500 is more than sufficient.

oops my bad sorry! what I meant to say was the vacanza's are being sold as replicas of the nevada m's (so I've been told) which have 4000hh so I was pointing out that these vacanza's are not identical and have a lesser rating which in my opinion is why they're a lot cheaper. I pointed it out trying to be helpful and not dismissive of them but I prefer my outwell tents as they've never let me down and do what they say they do! I've seen piles of "halfords" type tents at camp-sites in the lakes after a stormy bank holiday after they've blown away or ripped/leaked or whatever.
It's up to you who you listen too as to reviews of tents but I go my own experience so we'll have to agree to disagree on what's recommended and what's right but I do notice that 2 ppl have replied and both have outwell tents ;)
I just hope the information helps somebody who thinks they're getting an identical replica cheaply :)

Sorry to offend anyone with my opinions I do wish I'd kept them to myself but that's what forums are for :)

Calm down dear

The Vacanza range was an Outwell range made specifically for Argos, with slightly lower specs and prices to reflect this.  They were never "sold as replicas" of the Nevada M.  Sorry, but you're wrong....
