Vango Deals & Offers

My Vango has the screen and avoids the " Dad I can't go sleep there are bugs in the tent" nightly routine of camping joy. As long as the kids remember to zip it back up! Agree that this is essential feature.

Anyone who knows anything about camping under canvas knows all about the Montana 6 - it's been sold for well over a decade and if you take a look at tent review websites you'll see that more people have reviewed this tent than any other. I can't quite believe that you're asking me to "verify" my statement about such a popular tent (actually I can, seeing as you also think fibreglass poles are "less likely to be damaged than a rigid poled tent"!), but here you go: http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/blog/longest-reigning-outdoors-products/ https://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/camping/reviews/camping/details/outwell-montana-6p/899555 https://campingstyle.co.uk/outwell-montana-6-review-and-answer-why-is-it-so-known/ https://www.planetcamping.co.uk/outwell-montana-6p-family-tent.html

Would go 4a air tent & not a steel or fibre glass pole tent..

And your validation for this statement can be verified where?

Hi, just checked the Blacks website and with this being the 2018 model it indicates that all doors are now meshed.

*chortle*

this should automatically get heat otherwise no good for the cold :)

Oos

Heat added, looks like a good alternative to the Osprey Farpoint 40 (I posted the recent deal). I have a not sisimilar bag from Eastpak that was my go to bag, before the Osprey, which provided excellent service during nearly 2 weeks in Japan. The Eastpak opened like a clamshell/laptop which the Osprey doesn't which was a plus - not sure if this does? I would say the big plus of the Osprey over bags such as this Vango (and others from Lowe Alpine, Easpak etc) is the shoulder straps are a notch above together with the Osprey warranty.

No problem, I was sure it was linked in (y)

No sorry I was mistaken, I thought I had edited my comment. I remembered I had bought a Calder instead and the reason for that was the ground sheet being seen in

Are you sure?

I got the inflatable one for £167 on amazon just after xmas. Still havent opened it but as it's over £400 now I might sell it & get this one instead.

yeah all depends on what your after... better airflow and condensations control, and detachable and easy to clean, or that warm feel with no creepy crawlies

Amazon were matching the 3rd party seller only as long as they had stock, I suppose.

The link took you to a third party but it was for sale from Amazon. Didn't realise it would go so quickly! Glad I bought one!

Great for festivals, no waiting for buses or taxis and you get to store all your beer as well as crash within walking distance at the end of the day. Good for kids too as they love the adventure!

Showing £426 for me😣 great find if you can get it for that price. I love Vango tents.

Horses for courses.... we love it (especially the kids). When we're on a campsite, we generally kick back with a few beers and get a barbecue on the go whilst the kids make friends and play outdoor games, etc... None of that is really possible in a hotel room. Hotels bore me to tears

Well said. Common sense isn't that common these days....... (y)

A £50 sleeping bags is not always better than a cheaper one. it is like saying a £50 Adidas t-shirt is better quality than a £10 unbranded one. If you are is pathetic tent, you may be cold. If you are in a well insulated and erected tent then it is different. It is not just about the sleeping bag. There are other factors, including what you wear when you sleep in the bag. The OP did not state he was going up a mountain and did not have a decent tent. The mention is for DoE. I repeat a £50 sleeping bag is not required for a basic DoE trip. Not one single child at my son's grammar school had such an expensive bag. We were told at the meeting it was not necessary. Ask the school!

I couldn't have put it better myself - though I suspect that he/she is actually just intending to wind people up with their comments. Surely nobody is that clueless... "A £10 bag was fine for my son and his mates on a DofE trip, so nobody should ever need to spend more than £50 on one"! I mean..what??!

You're talking about one specific incident- 3rd-hand experience gained from kids on their first camping trip under the supervision of professionals in a semi-controlled environment- and applying that tiny bit of knowledge to an entire world of locations and situations of which you haven't the faintest idea of what you're talking about because from your own admission you've never done it- which to be honest makes you a total moron. If you carry on dishing out advice like that, at some point someone will get hurt or worse. You remind me of these people who are constantly draining the resources of Mountain Rescue because they got stuck up the side of a mountain without the foggiest idea of what they were doing. I don't think I've ever seen anyone openly admitting to having no knowledge or experience on a subject while simultaneously proclaiming to be an expert on the matter. That really is a new one on me!

It depends how good the tent is as well. It was -5 when mine went and they were not cold in the £10 bag. They also had a mat and wore warm bed clothes. Not one child spent £50 on a sleeping bag. Ask the school what they should buy. We can all afford a £100 bag, but it is not required.

now £13.93... that is cheap.. had to buy.. although it's probably too small so i'll end up buying another! (maybe the amazon basics 4 man?) slightly bigger one covered in bananas is 29£.. i was tempted by the bananas.

Back on at under £15 for the 2 man

Thanks OP Mine arrived today - got the 300 version - for £16 absolute bargain. The 200 model is currently £18.24 and the 300 £22.62 - so still a bargain.

Lucky it's waterproof. A tent that isn't might prove problematic

Terrible for a festival imo unless your in a small group. 4 or more and you can generally pick up a decent very large 2nd hand tent for £60 between you. With the added benefit of being able to stand up inside, have space for everyone and their gear. Plus if it doesn't survive the weekend who cares, we usually pack it and leave it for the tent charities anyway

Sometimes in life you've just got to know when to stop..... Lmfao

Yeah cos disliking a joke you've heard a billion times before means you have no sense of humour obviously..

Apologies. Hadn't noticed it's been done. I'll be sure to check with you next time.

And the prize of sense of humour failure goes to.................

And the prize for most unoriginal joke goes to....DJP1976! Congratulations (slow clap)....it's been at least an hour since that joke was last done here

i'd send that one back - it's upside down.

I would have agreed until last time I camped - slugs were everywhere in the morning.

Why do you all want a groundsheet in the porch? Not practical at all

Thank you ever so much for that! Really appreciated 😊(highfive)

If it's got a built in groundsheet then a footprint is a great addition, we bought one for our tent - I'm pretty OCD ish when putting the tent away as want it to last, so always used to sponge the underside of the tent to get rid of worm casts etc, before bagging it to store which means waiting a while for it to dry, a footprint allows me to put the tent straight away without having to sponge the underside as we then pack the footprint and wash at home at our leisure ... A cheaper alternative is to purchase a tarpaulin, from Poundland or similar, ensuring it's bigger than the area of your tent and cut to size ... A lot cheaper!!

As it's almost December, would have been an appropriate time for that one though (pirate)

Put this in my basket while i whatsapp the missus. She took a while to come back and in the time the price went up. But interestingly the price of the one in my basket stayed where it was, so I bought it. I didn't know that would happen.

At least it wasn't the tired old "now is the winter of our discount tents" joke

Never knew famous artists made tents for a living - Van Gogh! Yea, I'll get me coat... (cheeky)

How do you get this at £291.51 it comes up at £463.46 when you add to basket.. I can see it at £291.51 when you click on the options but can't buy it at that

You should ask Morgan 3man

looks to have now sold out

5.4kg so not one for backpacking, unless you plan on three people sleeping in the thing.

Clicked on Get Deal and Millets indicates product not found, and can't find using Millets Search option.

Looks good, heat added

These are great. Good for camping and festivals.

Nope... I bought it on Ebay a couple of years back. But there's loads of different micro stoves on there for around a fiver. All from China sellers.

Got a link? :D

Yep..... if people dont mind the few weeks wait. Far better off buying the ones on Ebay from China. I bought what i thought would be a £5 generic stove from China on Ebay and when it turned up it was a Gelert Intensity, had a the Gelert case as well. Totally the same as the £20 one in my local outdoors shop. All these stoves are made in China and UK sellers make a big mark up on em.

Wow! I choose the generic stove.Does exactly the same job for half the price.🙈🙉🙊 (embarrassed)

Like you said the loose ground sheet could just as likely refer to the 5 and 6 man tents. My Vango 800 has the central living space sewn in. I've never seen any different in this design where the 2 bedroom spaces are either end? I also own an airgo nimbus 8 which again is the same. Which models of this design are you referring too?

Found this in the questions section on Amazon, although realise that the questions and reviews seem to be the same whether you select the 5, 6 or 8, man version. Q: Does this tent have a 100% sewn in ground sheet? I.e no gaps or flaps. So fig can't escape or wind can blow in. Pictures would be great to see. see less Answer this question A: The inner tent has a sewn in ground sheet but the lounge part does not but it sits on flaps of the tent so that pretty well sealed see less Amazon Customer | 3 weeks ago

I haven't looked but why more likely if the same range? My experience from this style of tent, from other brands, is that the central "living" space has had a "bath tub" separate groundsheet, whilst the bedrooms have them sewn in.

Groundsheet not sewn in are for the 5 and 6 berth tents only. The 8 more than likely does

Compare/contrast with discussions on the other deal (Vango Odyssey 500SC Air Beam for £232).

Doesn't seem to be anything inflatable about the tent in the link apart from the title. Searches on Amazon some times show non-inflatable tents too...check the reviews. I've not seen an Air Beam this large anywhere cheaper. I snapped one up a couple of weeks ago for just over £300 as I didn't think they'd go any cheaper.

The inflatable one uses poles rather than Airbeam, where your tent inflates. The Odyssey 500 with poles, but without the sun canopy (more of a rain canopy?) is £146.67: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vango-Odyssey-Family-Tunnel-Tent/dp/B01709R3MG/ . The Odyssey 600 is £161.28: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vango-Odyssey-Family-Tunnel-Tent/dp/B01709R6E6/

Is it not this one?: https://www.inflatable.org.uk/product/vango-odyssey-500sc-tent-with-sun-canopy-epsom-green-5-persons/ £50 cheaper?

Was looking for a decent weekend tent for next year & this seems to fit the bill. Cheers op.

I have the non airbeam version of this tent, the groundsheet isn't sewn in but it works well and the bedrooms do have sewn in groundsheets. If I was after another tent I would buy this

We bought this tent last year for a lot more than this, great tent for a family, great find OP!

Voted hot as we bought this a few 2 or 3 years ago and it's a good tent. When for a tunnel tent as it's straight forward to set up. If you do a search for Vango Farnham 600, Vango Pembroke 600 and Vango Avington 600 too, as they seem to be all the same, you can see previous deals and comments and search the net for their reviews. Voted hot for the price. Nice spacious 4 person tent. We have 3 kids and was able to fit all three in one of the two compartments but put one double air bed and one single air bed in it. As 3 single air bed is a squeeze.

coming up... the winter of discount tent

For not much more amazon also the 5 man Odyssey Airbeam tent (£232 from £525) which is possibly a better proposition.

I could imagine these type of tent could be a nightmare in windy conditions with the canopy.

The six man version us cheaper than 5 man.

HEAT added... Great deal and a very nice tent. ⛺ #VANGO

Thanks OP. Bought, plus footprint, carpet and awning (from another site)

im so close to buying a new tent,, so close i tell you,

Heat added. We bought the smaller Calder 500 for more than this earlier this year so this is a great deal for a brilliant tent.
