Hi all,
I’m new… be gentle :-)
I was hoping someone might be able to give some insight into a couple of tent options we are looking at. We are a family of 4 and would like a three room layout with bedrooms, large living / play area and porch big enough for cooking in. Initially we weren’t too fussed if it was steel poled or air, but have slowly fallen in love with the convenience of air (it does kind of feel like cheating though…).
We’ve ended up looking at three Vango models;
Taiga 600XL Air – cheapest option with one pole for the porch, 70D 400HH
Rivendale 800XL Air – middle of the road, nice size,150D 5000HH
Illusion 800XL Air – Most expensive, 420D 6000HH
With the 800’s we’d take out the extra bedroom in the living room.
We have also looked at a Kampa Croyde, but after seeing it and reading reviews, although it looks like a great tent I found it a bit low and there seems to be a distinct lack of ventilation.
In reality the Illusion is stretching the budget a bit too far for now, but I was keen to find peoples thoughts and experiences of the Taiga and Rivendale – is it worth the extra, is the is the Rivendale just a paired down Illusion with half the features missing? The Rivendale has more features, better material and zip up windows being big wins (also the SkyTrack – any thoughts??).
If the Rivendale is a better option than the Taiga then I can happily justify the expense and I’m erring that way anyway, but I’m worried I’ll feel like I should’ve saved a bit harder and got the Illusion….
Cheers,
Rob
