Welcome to UK Campsite.

If you are having too much problems with tents you could try a tin tent (caravan)!

We tried a mobile home in France in the summer hols. Not too keen. Will be back to tents in France, as well as tents in England too.

we bought our first tent this year. its had three outings. Two back to back, packed away soaking and taken down in appalling conditions. I can't fault my vango keswick, its been battered by the weather and stood up well. that said I've nothing to compare it to really.

WE are about to return to Vango after years away. I think the quality issues have been addressed and they are back up there with the best: Outwell etc.

This post was started in 2014 and as a retailer all I can say is Vango really are back up there with the best. Also if you do have an issue they have their own repair centre.

We've bought the VANGO Capri 400 with the door option (more space across the front width).

Love it...can't wait to use it.

I like the idea of a canopy and can see that Vango do canopies for other tents that match height and width, so we could make our own combination to suit.

I thought the side awning was a good idea initially but its only the width of the living area, so we are better with the front door option I think.

Vango are certainly back up on top for me too!!!!!!!!!!
