Has anyone had problems with pitch size for the Diablo 600 as I have been told my tent will not fit a standard pitch although I never had problems in the past

If unsure, a quick phonecall to the site will reassure you, I thought most sites catered for larger tents these days as so many families are now camping so I wouldn't worry :-)

We did call the site and they said it was fine but now they are saying it is too big and don't have a record of my phone call. It's my daughters tent and we were going together us in a caravan them in their tent. We are trying to get another tent but money is tight and we are going in two weeks.

we used to have that exact tent and never had any problems, perhaps because we were a family of 4, 5 or 6.

i know riverside camping charge extra for large (8 man+) tents, but we've never been charged extra as a six in our vango infinity 800, even with the side extension.

perhaps sites charge extra if you turn up as a couple in a big tent, and allocated pitches for smaller numbers of people are sized accordingly.

nice tent by the way, we only got rid because of the dynamics of the familly older children no longer able to share a bedroom.

It will be a family in the Diablo my daughter, son-in-law and 5 year old granddaughter but they said tent will not fit on the pitch and don't have larger pitches. My daughter has never had this problem anywhere else.

When we had a Diablo 6 we had quite a few problems getting pitches especially if late booking in Southern England which was one of the main reason for getting rid of it but pitch size depends on each individual independent camp site

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again
