We bought our Vango in the summer of 2010 as new campers. I had previously broken my back in a small, cheap tent on our first ever trip. Having survived that we immediately bought the Vango Tigris 600 and have hammered the trips ever since.
This is a light and spacious tent. We have invested in the footprint, carpet and side awning and all have added to the quality of the use.
As a family of 3 we have the luxury of not including the third bedroom and this gives you an enormous amount of space. So much so I am tempted to get a travel wardrobe to avoid creased clothes!
There are some negatives that have been well documented by others. It does get hot, but that is inevitable! The side porch rods do indeed massively stress the porch canopy. On the last trip I didn`t bother putting it up but then the canopy was constantly flapping in the wind. I will follow the tips from other members and shorten the poles (cheers!).
My first Vango had split seams on one of the room pods but there was no problem in exchanging!
Pitching is very good, 20 mins between 2 of us. Takes probably three times as long to peg out and hang the bedrooms and all accessories.
This tent has had extremes of weather and has coped with them all.
Our last trip saw it exposed to strong Welsh winds and it survived! Vango claim that this is due to the interior tension strap system and I have to concur.
I have every confidence in this tent now. So much so that when I am tempted to 'upgrade' to an Outwell I resist due to not wishing to spend 4 times more when I have a tent that has proved it`s strength.
Wholeheartedly recommend. A good tent at a good price.

Bought one to replace a Royal Memphis 5 but giving me the room of a Suncamp sport that was destroyed in a Welsh force 8. Has turned out to be a brilliant purchase got it up by myself in about 25 mins whilst drinking tea. All those days camping in Wales and staying on the coast helped. Roomy, draught free, well made. Only prob was packing when wet.Groundsheet attached to fly sheet did not really help on packing when wet. But hey well worth the money it cost, really happy and think I will stay with Vango Brand.

We have used our Tigris 600 for several camping trips for a family of 5 (3 children under the age of 12). As our children get older, we may consider getting a bigger tent as the smaller bedroom is rather compact. It is easy to put up and take down, and holds up pretty well in very violent windy thunderstorms! We have bought an awning which is a useful area for cooking etc and leaves a large space in the tent if needed.
We are very pleased with this tent, and would definitely recommend.

Brilliant all round tent. Easy to put up and down - in all weathers. Great size for 2 adults + 2 kids. We had an extension, so kept that for the food / cooking area, which meant we had a massive indoor area for relaxing, playing games ( when weather was not so good) and 'drying' towels etc after showers and beach days.
All in all a great reasonably priced tent.

Downsized from a Campus Arizona, as wanted a tent that was easy for me to put up by myself. Got last year's model at a good price, however I'm a bit disappointed by the quality, having bought a Vango due to it's reputation. Had also looked at a Sunncamp Shadow 600.
On the first outing, the bedroom came away from the zip - although this was replaced without any quibbles. On the second outing, the toggle holding the groundsheet in place came off. I was able to repair this. Only minor issues but our last tent took much more abuse over 5 years! Another downside is the dividing curtain isn't connected at both ends and therefore does not give any privacy.
On the positives, the tent is very easy to put up. It is roomy and cosy with the carpet in place. Slept 3 adults and 3 kids without any problems.
We bought the side extension which is a good option for longer trips to cook in. We've been lucky with the weather, so can't comment on how it stands up to the wind and rain.

Bought to replace a 3 year old Orchy 400 which is a brilliant tent but is a bit small in the living area during bad weather. We were looking for a tent with similar bedroom size but a larger living space the Tigres 600 seemed the perfect choice as the 2 berth pod is easily removed. The only problem we found was the brow pole over the door caused to much tension on the door making it difficult to zip. This was fixed by reading tips from other users and a hacksaw to remove 1.5cm from pole. Only other minor issues are the position of cable entry,this would be better on other side of the door so the cable does not have to run across the doorway. Also can only close window vents from outside previous models could be zipped closed from inside.

We bought this tent following a fair bit of research to replace our old Gelert Lokno Vario 6 (which was an awesome tent but sadly met it's demise in the storms late last year!) We have been unlucky with our Vango as we have only used it twice and have had to send it back to Vango for considerable amounts of repairs (The pods are disintegrating and there were several holes in the groundsheet. That being said we are happy to wait for the return of this tent as it is a fine replacement. It has room enough for all our luxuries and plenty of space for those inevitable wet a rainy days. (We may invest in the additional porch for longer breaks.) I agree with other comments that the porch poles are a little long causing excess stress on the side door and would like the bedrooms pods to be just a little deeper but can easily see us camping for the next five years in this tent. The built in groundsheet keeps you extra warm when the weather turn British as well.

Two man pod at end of tent not really large enough for two adults unless head to toe. We use it for storage.
I agree that pole for porch is too long . I couldn't get it to fit into the Pockets at either end. I watched video on Vango website and theirs went in easily so definitely too long on my tent. Shortening pole helps but still puts a lot of stress on the door zip and am going to shorten it further. Tent is very roomy. I am considering carpet, both for comfort and also to keep floor of tent down as it can blow up if windy. Over all reasonably happy with tent

First time camper, bought this on recommendation from man in shop and glad we did. Very spacious for 2 adults and 2 kids. Liked the entrance both front and rear. We bought the extension which is brilliant, did the cooking in there and it zips up giving more space and privacy. What I wasn't impressed with was the tailored carpet, ruffled up and got on our nerves didn't fit to the edges. However, the tent and tunnel extension more than pleased with. Plenty of room in the two pods for all four of us to sleep and used the other pod for storage. Got it pitched in half an hour first time. Hope to be quicker next time. Happy days!

Have been out in our tent twice now and as said in my previous review, the tent stood up well to a lot of buffeting, and having had a wild weathered weekend in Lancashire, can also say it is fully waterproof too. Certainly got tested by the lashing rain, and stood up to even more buffeting, and no problems with condensation. All in all a great tent, and confident it will stand up to any weather
