Similar price, similar space, both quite different natures. Vango light, Outwell double the weight but very solid. Which way would you jump? Two of us, 64 years old, fit for camping more or less. I am 6ft/183 cms, we like our camp beds and want to do some tent touring this summer, two days here, two days there. Like quick pitching. Decisions, decisions. Any opinions please and why? Or better alternatives around £200. Thanks to everyone.
