We have the vango tigris 600 and are thinking of getting the above bag in hope that it can also accomadate our sleeping bags and air beds? We only need the small roller bag for the tigris but thought this may save on carrying loads from car to tent etc. Does anyone have one of these and what do they think of them? We tend to go to places that you can't park near the pitch so the less trips back to the car the better!

Isn't it normal practice for these types of campsite to let you unload your things and set up before returning your car to the carpark?

I suppose it depends where you go, we tend to go to places that are a little more remote to escape the city noise!  We don't mind taking all our stuff, we just need to find a way to make less trips back and forth to the car with 2 kids under 3 in rough terraine often......

You need a really large roof bag type thing with a sack barrow, you won't have to bare the weight either then, just roll it right to the pitch.

For clothes, sleeping bags etc we use a Space Bag jumbo tote(you can apparently get some of the pumps to fit them but we take a tiny cylinder vac). Some also get the wheeled crates for bits and bats.

We've got the Vango medium roller bag for our Icarus 600 with the spare poles, canopy, footprint and carpet in the separate lower section. It saves the hassle of trying to get the tent back into the original rather flimsy bag.

It's a great bag but, with that lot in, it takes two of us to lift it in and out of the boot!

We have the roller bag for our Columbia 600 - don't know if its the biggest. The tent goes in the top half and the inner tent with a lot of space to spare goes in the bottom section. You could add other soft items in the bottom section. It is a very large size which would fill up a substantial portion of the car boot. We take the trailer when we take this tent. The wheels are OK on a solid surface but it needs to be carried over grass as the wheels are small and when full the bag's wheels don't wheel freely.

We get the tent in OK first time every time. Even when folding from the naturally folded state upon taking the poles out it fits, albeit without doing up the zip. This is useful to get the tent safely home when wet ready for drying without having to get it into its pack-away size.
