does anybody know where I can view an inflated vango or Outwell air tent as I would like to view them up before I decide which one to buy, also any feedback from anybody who has the Outwell harrier Xl or the vango inspire 600 or illusion 800 would be helpful.
Thanks
Simon

Where are you based approx? It may help to locate camping shops in your area and some people will probably have first hand experience.

Jacksons of Old Arley apparently has a good selection of Vango's if that is near enough, give them a ring first to see if they have what you want.

If you don't mind the travelling then it has to be cross camping/inflatable tents online possibly the only place you'll see nearly every inflatable tent on the market
Vango
Outwell
Kampa
Outdoor revolution and on certain dates they have the karsten display there well worth a visit if your serious about inflatables
They have all the ones you've mentioned pitched
It's in Hertfordshire near Cambridge

-------------
April Peak District Beech Croft Farm
May Peak District Duke of York
May Holland Delfse Hout
June Cotton Arms Nantwich
july/aug Cornwall Pentewan Sands
And quite a few local weekenders

We had the same problem when we was looking last year, we saw a few in Towsure but not all the ones we wanted see - so we travelled to Cross camping - we could then see all the ones we was looking at, some were next to each other to compare.

+1 for Cross Camping, it was worth the trip to see all the tents we were interested in next to each other. Chose the Illusion 800 in the end.

There is a huge camping display starting this weekend at:

Vanstone Park Garden Centre Codicote
1 mile north of Codicote on the Hitchin Road (B656)
Codicote
Hertfordshire
SG4 8TH

Tel: 01438 821544

Opens on the 2nd May - 31st May

They have a massive selection of tents all pitched plus all the camping accessories you could ever need. I am pretty sure they will have Vangos and Outwell. Might be worth calling before heading off.

Happy shopping

The Rhubarbs

And if you didn't see anything at the Vanstone camping display, Cross Camping would only be a minor detour on the way home........
