VV500 for weekend is superb.  We are 2 adults and 2 (13&nearly9) kids.  Easy-peasy!

jdc110571 - just mailed you back, had to do the usual bank holiday shopping :(

to be honest if it wasn't for needing to buy the trailer I would have loved to keep hold of it myself (I'm sure I could have hidden it somewhere!)

p.s. its the 2006 one with the extra pole that gives you a little bit more headroom.

cheers
M

Hi

 I have a Vango Venture and love it. I ahve bought an Outwell Hertford canopy which I have modified and attatched to the Vango.  It provides brilliant extra shelter and a place to cook if it is too wet and windy outside.

Can I ask if the Venture 500 can be put up single handed without being a camping gymnast?

Thanks, Ian

Just had a  short trip just after the bank holiday, stood up to wind and kept us dry a traet.  Borrowed a couple of poles to try "porching it" worked a treat.

I've got a VV600DLX and it leaks at the bottom of the side door zip area. When it's raining, the elasticated door flap collects the water and drains it through the zip at the bottom where the SIG meets up. Don't know when the tent was made but bought it a few weeks ago in the Millets sale.

Does anybody have any idea what I can do? Have I pitched it incorrectly? It was pointing downhill when it rained so I've wondered about pointing it uphill instead.
