Hi All,

We were on the verge of buying a Diablo 600 from someone I work with as they'd only used it twice and changed to a caravan. His wife has now decided to keep the tent and I'm not too keen on buying a second hand one off ebay.

Brand new, the Diabloo 600 is £230 for the 2006 model.

Am I going for the right one and at the right price?

Thanks

Of course we all have different styles of tent for the sake of our differing personal choice. One mans meat and all that.

We have and are delighted with our Peakland Stanedge, this has a sig and it cost £159 from Yeomans.

Have a look at what's on offer on Yeomans website.

Gelert quebec 8+4 £150.

Good tent. Very warm with the SIG.

We have a Vango Diablo 900 and LOVE IT!!!  Loads of room

Off to Wales on Saturday for a fortnigh (well, weather allowing and all that).

Depends on the style of tent that you want.  Would you prefef a dome tent or a tunnel - fibreglass poles or steel spoles the list is endless - it is always a good idea to try and get to a tent fair to have a look around and ask questions - I always go to one with no intention of buying but to have a good look around and see whats on offer and the price ranges - how easy they are to put up and down.  The first thing you should do is set yourself a budget and look for ones that come within it - I found it saved me a lot of time - if a tent was not within my constraints it never got looked at.

I do hope you find one you like - check the net to see if you can get your chosen one cheaper before you commit to buy from a store - most online places have next day delivery and most offer free delivery when you spend over £150 etc;
