we bought the vario 6 last year, we got the tent for the space and how easy it was to put up. i have 2 girls 4 & 2 they sit in the car while the wife helps me put up the first pole, once thats in i can do the rest myself. The only problem we had was leaking zips in a torrential storm last august in norfolk the tent stood up to the wind unlike some others even saw an awning turn into a kite. Sunncamp have addressed this problem on the 2007 model. the zip problem woyld not stop me buying another vario.
Hi, we having the vario 900 which is the same as the 600 but with an annex you throw over the back to make two more bedrooms. I agree that for space and ease of putting up, they're great. We also had a problem with leaking zips and had to seam sealant them, but still not 100%. Hopefully this has been rectified in the mew models. We can get ours up with one adult and 2 nine year olds, which is handy too.
Hi I just got my vario 600+ yesterday and cant wait for summer to get out there, I have looked up every thing that has ever been written about it so I have virtually lived in it from last August I will be getting the sun canopy for it too but its not in shop yet We have two small dogs so SIG is great. Hubby had a little panicett there thinks its too big for two people but I dont you never know who will drop in for a quick game of cards or a couple of drinks, stacks of space, great. Hazel
congratulations on your purchase. If i were you i would get the zip seams re sealed( if its a 2006 model) as this was the only fault we had with ours and it only leaked slightly when it fell down.
Thanks for advice any ideas on what to seal it with is it best to do it when we have it up on site? never had this problem before with any of our tents although I have seen reports on this site about leaking seams on Vario 600+. Think ours is probably 2006 model.........cheers
hi your best bet is to email sunncamp www.sunnflair.co.uk , tell them you had leaking zips. I did this and they sent me some sealent. put it up in the garden if you can and apply as per instructions.
dont panic to much ours only leaked when it was torrential rain and then we just put a tea towel at the bottom of the door.
Thanks again I will contact sunnflair, we camp in the south of Ireland every year so the chances of torrential rain is very high if other years are anything to go by, we are going earlier this year at the end of June, so here's hoping. cheers
