We have a vista 800. Used it for the first time this weekend. Not the best time to go camping, at night it was winds up to 23m/s and pouring Down. In the morning we saw signs and à few flagposts laying down. But even tough we didnt sleep much we where dry and warm.
We hope to have more luck weather wise next time

Bought from go outdoors last summer, our first tent which we bought to see if we like camping and we do! Big tent, especially if you can leave the front bedroom out. I also got a carpet for it which really made a difference (although was hard to track down!) For anyone who is on the hunt for a carpet for it, the Vango tigris 800 carpet is a perfect fit. Easy to pitch even for us first timers. Downside for us is there is no fly mesh on the doors/windows and the doors do not zip all the way around leaving a gap at the bottom which can get draughty!

We have had this tent for a year now and have really put it through its paces by letting a toddler loose on it!
Its very easy to put up and down, it takes us about 15 minutes, the fly sheet can be tricky to get back into the bag, so make a note of how it comes out.
Loads of room inside, especially if you take down the front bedroom (the one against the large door) and the removable partitions in the bed room are very handy.

We are beginner campers and this tent is a brilliant first tent. We only use one bedroom department as there is only the 3 of us so we have plenty of living space the only downside to this tent is that is quite a hassle to put up with only 2 people. We soon got used to it . Excellent tent ,would recommend

Having just started camping with our two young kids last year and not having considered the draw backs of not having a sewn in ground sheet we bought a Rage Alta 6. Now altogether it was a good tent and afforded good stability and shelter in rough weather but was a bit draughty.
This year we decided if we were going to go camping regularly we should really get something a bit better so we had a good look around and decided on a Vango Vista 800DLX.
What a difference. Sewn in bath-tub groundsheet, storm flaps, three doors giving all sorts of options, little storage pods (which are always full with all sorts of odds and ends!)and really good overall storage space, especially if only one bedroom pod is being used.
We just came back yesterday from a trip to South West Scotland and to say the weather through the night Fri/ Sat was rough would be conservative. Wind and rain for about 4 hours. In the morning we had a good look round and all seemed to well with the tent, no movement and no water ingress, so all together it did really well. We lent our Rage Alta to my wife's sister and her family - we all ended up in the Vista on the second night!
A brilliant buy - has certainly passed it's early tests well and we're looking forward to giving it some longer outings next year.

Easy to put up however having only used it twice repairs already need to be made. Nice and spacious inside we got 6 adults and two little ones in and a travel cot so it did well and it was quite cosy in there which was nice as I have stayed in tents without the sewn in ground sheet and you can really feel the difference. Overall it was a bargain so cant complain and it pretty much does what it says on the tin. To be honest can't wait to be back in it :)

Just returned from our first few days away in this tent. We brought this from Go Outdoors in their sale and was a bargain! Although it did not rain whilst we were away it was quite simple to put up however a little faffy when putting it away as it did not seem to want to go back in the bag it came in! The tent was large enough for myself, my husband, x2 children & x2 dogs and more space left over. Brilliant idea to have both sides to open up and if you did not want to have the sides open you can remove a couple of the bedrooms and have one large living space. Great tent.

Previously used a Vango Diablo but wanted something easier to put up. Paid 130 for the tent and certainly easier to put up than the Diablo! Plenty of room and bedroom pods easy to put up. Bit of a faff to get the tent back into its bag when packing away, could do with a bigger bag really.
Would be improved by having insect screens on the doors and having a separate bag for the poles, but well worth it for the money.

Bought this tent last year, just before Christmas, for a bargain price. Only just got to use it recently and was really pleased with my purchase. As a family of four we only used one sleeping pod which, left us loads of living space. The SIG kept us really warm but, the only couple of downsides were the only windows were in the doors which, seemed a waste of time as we never opened them as we kept the doors open. The other useful thing would be to have an entry point for the EHU lead. Overall though the tent was well made and will suit our needs for the next few years.

Have the 800 DLX with the fully sewn in groundsheet as our first tent - outstanding value, quality and space. Very easy to put up - 20mins on our first attempt and I'd never camped before - don't waste your money on cheaper seemingly better value 'economy' tents - buy this one!
The bedrooms are great as you can separate the pods of have larger open rooms (depending how sociable you or the kids want to be!) loads of living space in the middle section for table and chairs etc and I can stand up without problem despite being 6'3. No issues at all with this tent looking forward to many more trips in it
