By: Arkwright01  Reason: I own(ed) one  Made in: 2009   Rating: 

I've used this tent twice now and have experienced heavy rain and winds. The only problem we had was with a few drips coming in through a window seam (and I'm not sure but it may have been blown through the vent) so that's the reason it's got 9 and not 10!

It's easy to erect (took me and OH 30 mins the first time, 20 mins the second time) and I'm sure we'll get quicker.

As there was just the 2 of us and a our dog there was ample room but I wouldn't like to have 4 in there.Three is possible but four is not really workable.

This tent has a lot of nice features but my favourite has to be the way that the SIG can be lowered at the entrances to avoid tripping up on it. It's a simple thing but we really appreciated it.

All in all, a really good tent and well worth the money (we paid £220 including the footprint and carpet).

I've just pitched the Vango Tigris 400 having bought it this afternoon and it's really very nice. The smoke colour is nicer than I thought it would be and all round it's a practical tent for short trips away for myself, my partner and twin 2 year old cubs. My big tent is a vango oregon 800 which is just a bit too big for short breaks, especially when it comes to drying! Hence the desire to have a tent that was that much smaller with the ability to pitch on my own with speed.

Whilst this tent offers precisely that, it doesn't compromise on space, it offers a fab size porch (285x280) and a bedroom compartment that can be split into two with the usual hanging curtain, total size is 280x210, just enough to squeeze two double airbeds but with no room to spare. However, it works fine for us as we have one double and two junior airbeds from millets that together make the size of a double but are quite a bit shorter so have room for bags, nappies etc

It's also got some nice touches to it too, there's a wee little porch over the side door which is quite nice and there is a pelmet that covers the gap around the inner bedroom which is great for stopping my rugrats from trying to clamber between the fly & inner. Plus there's some storage pockets along the top as well as along the each side of the inner bedroom compartments. Finally, I like the small zipped entry point which is low level along one side to allow cables or gas hose through from the outside, clever idea! Oh and it's 3000 hydrostatic instead of 2000.

Incredibly easy to pitch, probably do it in 15 mins next time which shall be this weekend in Ilfracombe!

I bought one of these a few weeks ago and we have been camping twice in it so far.

Is taking us about 20 minutes to put up but it is pretty simple to do. Has one big inner tent which can be separated with a fabric divider if needed. As there is just two of us we keep it as one room and it is the perfect size!

The living area is spacious and is well designed. For two people this is perfect. For four it would be a bit of a squash. I love it!

This was a very easy tent to put up and overall are very pleased with it.

It rained over night and we had bad winds but the tent stood up very well.

Also packed away easily into its bag.

The only down side is it may be cramped for four people it is only two of us using it and we kept the bedroom as one so had more room for storage etc

Would highly recommend this tent.

Just bought this tent and so far only had a practice pitch with it. Tent went up very easily and probably could be put up by one person(wind allowing!).

It appears reasonably well made but not quite up to the standard of my outwelll or sunncamp but ok for the price that I paid (159.00). Nice touch is that although the ground sheet is sewn in it can be lowered at the entrances (no more falling over after the pub!). Only going to be used by two people so hopefully there will be plenty of room. Will submit another review when we have used the tent in anger. Maybe my rating might change then
