just looked

there are 3 bedroom pods and no inner the outer is an all in one with groundsheet attached.

on websites that have these tents, i got the impression that it was just the same as the diablo range, ie inner plus outer, thats what you pay extra for but its just the outer with bedroom pods hung up. so why is it dearer than the diablo? i appreciate that theres the extra stictching from groundsheet but theres alot less stitching not having to make a complete inner aswell.

going to ring vango on monday and seems like i am going to take it back as i feel im going backward a step in comfort and asphetically pleasing inner ie gaps between the bedroom pods and the outer. i had that with my very first tent, a vango colarado 800 dlx. the diablo creates extra warmth with the inner and outer also found that there is no condensation with the diablo range. cant say there is none but as it forms on the inner of the outer you dont see it plus when it forms and drips it then goes on the inner tent .

hope that clears things up.

hi

diablo 900 2005 model owner.

i enquired about the kirkwood 900 today at outdoor action concerning the colours ie black/black on there website they said they would presume it was black and black opposed to black silver.

went down to buy one as they are local and they sold me one for £259.

when i got it home impressed with the bag on wheels with separate compartment for poles and sleeping pods.the actual tent is black and mercury like the killington.

my concerns are the pods are separate to the inner,SO DOES IT HAVE AN INNER.or just a flysheet that the pods hang on. i know it has a sewn in groound sheet but having 2 skins on the diablo range makes it warmer i think.

i have the tent but dont want to open it all up because i might send it back i got the outer out  just to look at the colour but

Did you keep the Kirkwood 900, don-kedik? Only I have just watched the pitching video for the Killington, and see that there are roof liner extensions to the bedroom inners so, whilst not a true separate inner,  you would get some of the benefits of a second skin.

Quite nifty, I thought!
