I have the Vango Monte Verde and have only used it twice so far due to work restrictions and lack of free camping weekends.  Once in St Andrews in Fife for a long weekend and loved it and second for 3 weeks mid and south of France and again loved it.  The vents havent caused us a problem in fact in France we left the main door open all day and night - its really just like an awning but has flexibility to close off in bad weather - it was so hot the vents were not big enough!!  I'd say its a great tent all over - lovely and big, flexibllity of rooms, the main parts can be closed off so if you are using it out of season and havea  heater of some kind then you can heat a smaller area rather than the whole area which would obviously be quite ineffective due to the footprint and sheer size of the monster!!  The mesh doors are great for evenings keeping bugs out.  Very secure in winds and high hh for rain.  I'd buy another one when this wears out I love it so much.  It is big to transport but then you know you have a solid tent which wont let you down. If you hav any questions ask away.
