We are new campers,went for first time over the summer and loved it. We got a Vango colorado 800dlx off gumtree and it was great, but dh now has tent envy! He fancies an Outwell Vermont xlp. I think these look great too, but the other night when browing I found the Vango monte-verde 900, which looks pretty similar to me but is a touch cheaper. I've read the reviews, seem fairly similar.

So I was wondering what your views would be? All opinions welcome! Thank you

Not sure of the tent models you mention, but I (outwell nevada M) had massive tent envy when we camped at the weekend with my step-daughter (Royal Atlanta 4): she had much better mozzie nets inside on the bedrooms, the tent was darker so better for sleeping and the groundsheet let down at the front so she avoided my constant trip-ups!

My own fault, I bought her it! Take your time to look around, then buy in the end-of-season sales that are about to come up.

The Vermonts are excellent tents weve had ours since 2007 and its still going strong. Only down side is there is no rainsafe door, shame they didnt fit one when they revamped it as the XLP. Not a major problem in itself but the porch can get a bit damp when its raining

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
