Hi again

If you're looking at the Vario 6, and want more living space, look at the plus version. Same as the six but with an extra hooped section at the front.

For more info, look at www.sunnflair.co.uk.

thanks vectratot, but the Khyam Colorado seems to be winning price wise at the moment. It's £260 but has loads of extra features

2nd on the list is the sunncamp family vario 600 as offered on www.e-awnings.co.uk for £165 but I think it must be the 2005 model as it doesnt have the extra features of the 2006 model which is upwards of £325!!

the outwells are great but I think OH will say no to the prices of between £329 and £420!

ho-hum, this camping malarky can be hard work! LOL

...... I've also just found the sunncamp family vario 6, not sure if the living area is big enough though....

Lisa, I saw a Vario 600 in a display yesterday and I thought it looked really good. I particularly liked the fact that it had that side larder/alcove off the living area for putting stuff in. MT
