Hi all! Well two weeks ago i promised i'd give you my honest opinion on my Rage Alta 6dx. I've just returned from a 10 Day Camping Trip in Wales a place called Shell Island. Well Day one was like something out of an horror film Strong Wind peeing it down with Rain etc.........

Anyway after about an hour of wrestling with the Damn Tent we finally got it up and pegged out, the night was pretty much the same with the nice flapping sound to keep us entertained (NOT).

Ok then its time for the truth.

1, The Tent Kept us dry and warmish (No SIG)

2, The Kids enjoyed the whole Camping experiance.

3, I paid £64 for a tent which lasted me 10 Nights without any problems.

4, Would i want to use it for such a long time again? I would if i couldn't afford a better one but i've been thinking about buying an Vango Vail 700, this being because the people in the Tent next to us had one and i had a good look around it.

 

Now then because you lot are experts i need some help i have £250 and i'd love to spend it on a Vango Vail 700 or very similar.

Please Help!!!!!

 

Kevin

I don't think you will get a new Vail 700 for £250.  You could look out for a second-hand one (but they are new so maybe won't be many around), or wait till Autumn/next year and see what reductions there may be around?

Vango Vail £300 from Wildday plus £5.95 P&P is the best I've seen.
