Anyone?

Not got one but you might find a couple of useful tips here

i have the vango Diablo 600 (same as 900 but 2 bedrooms). It was not too bad to but u, just took a bit of tweeking to get the pods at the right angle so everything lined up.

So bits are a bit fiddly but should be colour coded for the poles!!!!!!!

The only thing i would say though, its a 'mare to put up when windy!

ah, thanks!

thanks- should be fun trying to put it up then! - we got a good deal on it, so DP thought 'why not?'

there are only 4 of us! but at least it gives us room if we have guests!

I would also recommend putting it up in your garden(if it fits) before on the camp site!

Have you camped before?

well yes, as i described it 'the accomadation comprises of living/dinning room, 2 double bedrooms and entrance vestibule!!!!!!!!!!!!! But in your case 3 b-rooms!

We have been a few times. We purchased a really cheap (well £95) tent which kind of came apart last weekend. We still had the reciept so DP took it back today and they gave us a credit note of £100, then DP asked for a better make tent- saying that he did not mind putting extra money towards it, as we enjoy camping ( even in last weekends weather)

The man showed us this Vango one at £340 but said he could do it for £230- so with the £100 credit note- it seemed like a good deal.

Just have to practice putting it up!!

Really enjoy camping though- im just looking for some good family sites on the net now.

we paid £200 for our 600 so, that was a good price!

You will need a big pitch for a tent that size!

I know!- we saw one last weekend on the site that we were at. It was like a marquee!!!

Do you camp much?

not as much as we would like, we got away for a few short breaks last year. We used a nice quiet family site in Cornwal, there is nothing there entertainment wize but it had electric hook ups if needed launderette, clean shower bock etc. But it did not take groups only families or couples. It was lovely, just spead all day doing whatever than come back shower up go out for dinner or cook, then the kids went to bed and we could kick back and relax!!
