TENTS! I think this is the one for us.. please tell me what you think

[lunavix]

I'm leaning towards the Vango Venture 500.

We need it for camping with ds (although I'm pg, so it will be with ds and bump in future) and also for music festivals such as glastonbury, where it would possibly be just me and dh, but we wanted to be able to squish in our three best mates just in case! We wanted something easyish to put up.

What does everyone think? The websites indicate two versions (2004&2005 or 2005&2006 can't remember) and one site mentioned something about a dividing curtain but we can't find any details on this. Is there any major differences that anyone knows of? Is it a good (budget) choice? And does it have an integrated groundsheet?

Thanks!

Can we fill all the active conv's with tent threads do you think?
yep they have a sig and seem to have a dividing curtain \link{http://www.outdoorfocus.co.uk/tall_fibreglass_steel_tents/Vango/Venture/Vango_venture_inner.htm\look here!}

oooh

I wonder if it'd be a good buy

I think it's the same tent as we have (didn't come out the loft last year due to DS's early arrival so am a bit vague!) and it is excellent. Very roomy, and quite easy to put up, due to its size it does need two people. Would recommend looking on ebay to see if you can get it cheaper from there. That's where we bought ours and I think it was £120ish, with free delivery the next day.
