Hi

Well, have got my adjusted inners and front awning back today. They have put a window in the front, with a curtain, plus an extra toggle at the top and velcro down the sides to better attach it to the tent. The inners have been stitched together to make one big tent. Haven't seen any of the changes yet - so fingers crossed they have done a good job.

Planning to put it up tomorrow for a test pitch. Will post some pics and feedback.

Have any other Euphoria owners out there got any tips for pitching the first time?

Thanks

Hi

All went well with the test pitch   Went up nice and easy, once I got used to the valves, and the front awning zipped on very easily, and a tight fit. No problems getting it back in the bag and even got the pump, pegs, gsheet and king poles in there.

A really lovely tent - can't wait to take it away for its first trip!

Rained all night and day - no leaks at all, apart from the bottom of windows which I think is condensation (had the same on the Eden).

The new window on the front awning was fantastic, complete with curtain - they did a great job. Phew!

Similarly the stitched bedroom inners were done really well.

All in all - am a very happy bunny

Some pics:

Wow the window on the front looks great and very reassuring to hear you had the same issue as us with the window condensation.

Yes, they have done a great job with the window and also the curtain inside. Really pleased with it - makes such a difference.

When you are taking yours on its first camping trip?

I don't know why a vango don't just make the bedrooms totally flexible ie 1,2 or 3 rooms as that would have been better for us. Not a deal breaker though, we can live with them how they are.

We are off at the beginning of June just for a short trip and ridiculously excited. Just praying for reasonable weather as the one thing that worries me is a wet pack up - it's so heavy even when dry. When are you doing your maiden voyage? :)

Those mods look great Joy family, and really nicely done, looks factory standard quality. You've really improved Vango's design, you must be really chuffed with the results

Thanks Jim. Yes, really, really pleased. The lack of a window was the one thing that was letting the tent down - and that is sorted now.

Was quite worried about the front window but it looks amazing. And not a bad price either.

Cheers

That awning will be lovely and light now for coping with rainy days, I'm sure it will really be a big improvement over the Edens front layout was.
