hi all

just bought a vango idaho 400 cos it looked good on video and fitted our rquirements

anybody got one  and are they simple to put up ( as shown)

It is a brand new model, so you may be one of the first!

But I have a Sunncamp Bravo 4 that is very similar and we can put that up in 15-20 mins now. THe only bit to look out for is when raising the dome - it is best if someone can be inside to lift the poles where the ycross whilst another person goes around the outside fastening the pole feet - this method minimises strain on the poles.

 I would also expect the Vango to be slightly better build quality that this model - whilst the specs look similar (2000HH etc)  we have not been terribly impressed with the fabric of ours - bit prone to tears.

Well that's the spirit that makes this forum so great! Will look forward to hearing about it. It is a layout I like (hence having the Bravo) because I don't need a stand up height bedroom - in fact a lower bedroom is more cosy cos there is less space to heat up with your own body heat.

Good luck with your virgin voyage with it!

Hi BIGDAPPLE,

I was wondering how you're getting on with your Idaho 400 as I've just bought one?

I had a dummy run in the garden recently, sun shining and NO wind to contend with and I managed to get it pitched in under 30 mins (not bad for a girlie I thought!)

I've got my delta pegs on standby just in case!

HI

HAVENT HAD TIME FOR A BREAK YET BUT WILL UPDATE YOU SOON
