I suffer really bad tent envy. My hubby groans when we roll up to a campsite with huge gleaming tents on. He doesn't seem to understand why i could possibly need a 9 man tent when we are a family of four MEN!!! He also finds it highly amusing that when we are camping i make a beeline for the nearest outdoor shop to check out their selection just to point out the failings of ours. We have had three and have doubled the size every time, hubby says at this rate we will be camping in a marquee in 5 years!!!!
i frequently buy tents just to put them up in the garden, admire them for a week, occasionally sleep in them for a weekend, and then resell them on ebay. My OH thinks im quite mad. But hes getting resigned to coming home from work and finding things pitched in the garden.
I have last year's Vango Colorado 600 DLX. Yep, that's right, the 2006 model <shock horror> and I bought it brand new this year for £124.95.
So, when I see this year's model out on the camp site with some marginal improvements, I won't be envious, because I know I paid half as much as its owner.
we bought a cheepy of of ebay , its great survives rain & wind ect, I look at other peaples tents & think that must have cost them, a lot more than mine. they should be envious of me
