It's easy to pitch, as in no nasty quirks, but it's a big tent and will take two people the best part of an hour to put up.

It's got a seperate groundsheet so there's very little point in taking a second one, as the loose one will be perfectly easily cleaned. You really only benifit from a second footprint groundsheet if you have SIG.

Both the standard and large Vango sun canopies will fit the Colorado dlxs, but I would give it a trial run first to see if you'll want one. The porch area is large in the Colorados and the front door poles out too. Having said that there was a post a couple of weeks back about the large canopy being on offer for £25 somewhere, which is a real bargain.

I have the 1200dlx, btw, and it's a great tent. Roomy and very stable, and a good neat footprint size for the amount of useful internal space.
