Vango Deals & Offers

I saw that earlier mate and called them. Sadly they don’t deliver to NI. :(

Just seen that the tent is available for pre-order on wmcamping. Co. UK for £329. Due in stock on 27 July.

You are a star mate. Thank you

Yes, the following awning fits this tent. I have seen it available elsewhere for £130 but is now out of stock. https://www.vango.co.uk/gb/camping-equipment/910-excel-side-awning-ta001.html

One last question as I can’t find the answer anywhere...is there any Vango awnings made to fit this? I can see the longleat has one for it but I can’t seem to find one that is made for the Stanford

Link please, :)

When added to basket, 10% will come off :-)

Price is £36 for me. Is there a 10% code I am supposed to use?

Oh hahaha, I was gonna say, I'm not aware of age-ist bags lol. I'm also 6foot 2 and fairly wide and there's plenty of room and height in this bag. What clinched it for me was the review from the gentleman who said he was 6'6 (or so) and 28 stone and it was roomy. :-)

Sorry ment 6 foot 2 lol

Agreed! They're brilliant, very efficient and best prices by a country mile for camping equipment

You can't go wrong for the price. I looked at the Aldi one before I purchased mine but there was no mention of the waterproofing rate so I gave it a miss. As you can never predict what the great British weather is going to do, even in the summer!

If anyone wants a cheaper 4 man tent Aldi have one for £34 plus some reasonably priced accessories https://aldi.co.uk/p/800338404114800

Thanks for posting ,they are a good store ,ordered the two man tent a couple of months ago,customer services very good

No problem, glad to of helped. Happy camping!

Agreed. I've added some info to the post too for you.

Thanks. Long time lurker, first time posting. Seems a decent starter tent or occasional use option

Thanks for posting and welcome to hotukdeals @aj_mckay - seems a cracking price for a 5 person tent

(lol) (lol) (lol)

Just put my two pence in. I stayed in one of these last year as a pre-erected tent at the Isle of Man TT (couldn’t take my own went on sports bike) Was roomy and the weather was pretty foul with wind and rain but no damage or leaks so I’d say this is a hot deal. Regardless of what type of pole it is I’m sure you could have a good few days camping in this around the country or further, just probably not suitable for base camp of Everest.

Double the distance and once you collect it, sleep over and drive back the next day. Making its money right from day 1!

https://www.summits.co.uk/product/vango-spey-200-tent-2-person-tent-2018/ Went for this one in the end , £44.99 with code lockdown10

Thank you, I'll have a look.

I've recently purchased one of these for solo camping - https://www.millets.co.uk/tents-camping/351682-oex-bobcat-1-person-tent-green.html

With me only needing a tent for myself, I wouldn't think I'd need to worry too much about the price. Quality of materials and ease of erecting and dismantling are the most important things for me with buying a tent. I won't do any cooking but it would be nice if the tent had a little living space as well as where the sleeping bag goes. A little height would also be nice but not too important. I really have no idea what to look for in a small tent. Used to go camping in the 80's but that was with a large tent that took around an hour to erect.

I marked this expired yesterday afternoon as it is now £323.92 as several others have commented, not sure why it is still showing as live?

Obviously paying more attention than me, thanks :) I've updated my comment.

Plus this has the properties of version 2 of that model.

It is a 500 as it is the bigger version.

Not sure if it's a regular deal, but they were selling this for £112 in February. Also, if you're comparing prices, Portland is an amazon exclusive, but pretty sure they sell it on other sites under a different name. Looks very like the Skye Air 400 maybe in a different color. My bad, I was confusing this with a deal on the 400. Though the latter comment is still useful. They sell the portland brand under different names elsewhere, and I think it's Skye II Air but not 100%.

That's quite odd - received mine 18th July (about 10 days from ordering) When did you order it?

Did anyone receive this yet? I'm still awaiting delivery!

*looks out the window*

The New Forrest are always busy sites, too busy for us but with increased social distancing they could be much nicer than usual. I think only self contained units might be allowed in this year with toilet blocks locked.

Thought it would sell out at that price

Good for you. (highfive)

:D I don't have to Google lumens as have know what they are for years (always look into that before I buy new bulbs with the new LED ones). Without knowing the lumens of a bulb it's like buying something without knowing the size of it.

Just bought near enough same thing for £10 delivered on Ebay 6m one waterproof too 😁

I said 'that' and took you long enough to Google 'lumens' other than the Trump answer of 'it's bright' Surely even you would notice the pattern between lumens advertised and the sizes? People have voted and the verdict is cold.

Heat

Damn wish I’d seen this yesterday I need a car tent for summer when less wind and more headroom height would be beneficial

Thought about it too long.... Dam Maybe it will come round again...... Fingers crossed 🤞

yep 188 now

Gone up.. missed it!!

Same here. (confused)

The only problem with this is the linked in groundsheet, it could ship water in bad weather.

Great price, looks like a Solaris but with a linked in groundsheet. I reckon this is a better option though, means if cooking and eating in the tent you can just do without the groundsheet in the living area and not have to worry about making a mess..... Having said that these aren't a brilliant design tent. Porch is fairly useless without sides (doesn't really stop sun or rain) and the whole tent is a a poor design structurally. Very much like they've taken a normal pole tent and swapped in airbeams, rather than designing a tent that really works with airbeams.

Must of been lucky when i got mine at 187 at 7am it doubled by 9am

£382 now. Must have inflated again😁. Shame was a good price. I’ll wait for it to fall again and get one. Good tent.

Waiting for it to go into fibrillation, or even better, flatline, then I'll get it!

Don't need it but the price is getting more and more tempting on this (confused)

Still a good deal. Cheers op

Anyone know if you can change the tubes and valves in these?

Now even cheaper at 187.87

Reduced down to £213.29 now

Wow this is a fantastic price. I've been waiting for something like this.

Be careful you don't get a puncture :) don't even mention how hard it is to get the air out the beams to pack it away (lol) and it weighs a ton compared to pole tents (excited)

Beware of the totally misleading youtube video linked on the sellers product page - its labelled as a 400 review, but actually shows a 500

Not an air tent?

500 variant is cheaper at Amazon currently

Thanks for the feedback!

Exactly. To get everything you want from a tent the budget has to match. We didnt want to spend a fortune on what should be "cheap camping holidays" the reason we went for this one was it has the little porch area at the front for boots etc (and stops rain getting in when you open the door.. a real design fault on many tents!!) And the amount of space and windows. It was superior to lots of others we looked at in go outdoors, for a much lower price.

Thanks! I seem to have convinced myself that I absolutely need a blackout sleeping area. Reading around (always an expensive endeavour), the decathlon tents seem to have the blackout functionality. They're about 250 quid though for the 5 man tent and they don't seem to be nearly as spacious.

Thanks ordered

This is the fanciest tent I have owned, so I cant really compare to much but it is darker than any I've had before. We slept pretty soundly even though it was cold during the night and then really sunny and hot first thing. At this price, you wont get a better tent!

Now £143.36, seems expired

Not knowing a thing about tents, is this a decent make, and will it be a pain in the arse to put up? Could it be put up single handed?

Good price for a good known brand

Updated...... Now 103.79

Good price, will it go lower like it did last month? It’s heading in the right direction (y) 🏻

£187.87 now...

I'm on the fence with sewn in / no sewn in...on the one hand it's easier to set up with a sewn in one, and it keeps the porch relatively bug free, but I have heard it's better for ventilation. Just to clarify, the 5.2 from Decathlon was fully sewn in, the Vango was sewn in on one side by the sleeping area, then it was held in place in each corner at the front with a toggle. I guess if it was raining heavily, you could come inside and strip off with the g.sheet folded back so it didn;t get drenched, then step over and lay it out once you were a little less wet? I dunno...like I said, no preference really,,,:)

How did you find the linked in groundsheet? Is a sewn in on that much better thats it worth paying a few hundred more on another model?

Hi, I've not seen them drop myself but others might have? Might be worth a sniff around at Black Friday.

Do you know if the Decathlon ones are ever on offer?

Pretty great prices for some tents, they are durable and most of them have 3000HH which is the biggest factor in buying a tent for me.

£5 off £50, etc. is not available on discounted items, it seems. GREAT deal, though - also seems to be a sign-up discount.

Now is the winter of your discount tent ;-)

Some great deals. Especially on the more expensive tents

Very good tent for the price 👌

I'd wait for the winter of discount tent!

Great tent, used this for my first ever camping trip this year. Easy to set up and stood the cold and wet :) Defo get an extra ground sheet and test it out before you take it camping is my advice.

Very good deal for a Vango tent of this size, voted hot As someone mentioned above, if you buy it then don't wait until next year to put it up and check it. It will be much too late then to send it back. Put it up as soon as you can after it arrives, and fully check it out

Been watching this fall in price for a while, wont go any cheaper now it's been posted...

Anyone got experience of using this in locations of torrential rain and winds? Planning a Scottish island trip next year.

I'm still using steel myself, but yes inflatables have been around a while, not sure I really see an advantage really (apart from weight) I am considering a smaller weekend tent though, so might give it some more thought

No, you are right. I have the one with poles. Didn't even realise inflatable airbeams was a thing. (highfive)

Thanks for posting @TheWookieMonster we have added this thread to the Highlights pages (highfive)

I sleep in this when the misses is annoyed at me

Good price, we nearly bought these but went with the Shangri-la in the end. Way more comfortable

Price wise I suppose it sits between the cheaper items on ebay £20-£30 and the Therma-rest product range.

I've had a bad experiences with multiple Vango SIMs not lasting.
