This is only my 2nd post, my 1st was back in july/august when we were looking forward to our 1st camping weekend with the OH and 2 kids.We bought a tent off ebay !! for that trip into north wales it is a rage vardo and i must say we were well pleased with it. We shall be doing more camping next year but want to get a better tent, Our friends that went with us have a vango venture 500 and it looked decent.Can anyone help me and tell me where i can find one at the best price ?

The Vango Idaho range is the newer version of the Vango Venture one. It is reversed, so that the living room has the higher bit and the sleeping area the lower bit.
The Idaho 400 (4 person) is going for £94.95 at Outdoor Action, the Idaho 600 (6 person) is going for £112.50 with a free Vango windbreak at Outdoor World.
Thanks for the links, I like the look of the 600 model especially as we are going to buy a windbreak aswell this time. However we would prefer a darker colour tent like the venture 500 so would like to get one at a good price from somewhere if poss.
We have a venture but are upgrading to a slightly larger tent as 2 adults and 2 kids is a bit of a squash. We found it was great when there were just 3 of us!

The Vango venture 500 is an excellent tent ideal for the 2 of us but would easily accomodate 3. We use it as our weekend tent and for extra space we have purchased the Vango large canopy which fits the tent and adds extra outdoor space. Unfortunately the guy lines block the side door but we dont use it anyway so thats not a problem. The tent is easy to put up and can easily be done single handed if needed.

The tent goes up outer first including the porch. You then hang the bedroom inner off hoops on the outer fly. The bedroom pod is complete unit, there is no second groundsheet under the bedroom pod. The porch groundsheet is attached to the bedroom pod and bathtubs to the living area. It is the only tent we have with this bathtub design but it isnt cold in fact we last used ours for a long weekend the first week in October and no we didnt use a heater. Saying that we also have a day tent which we use to hang around in but the VV500 living area is easily big enough for at least 2 chairs and a small table.
