Hello forum,

Does anyone out ther ehave or have experiance of either the Vango Diablo 600 or the Vango Killington 600??

Diablo has rave reviews from what i can see and i was about to order one until i noticed the Killington was very similar but had the (major?!) advantage of pitching with the outer first.

I have a more specialist Coleman 3 man tent for trekking and the only thng that annoys me about that is the inner first pitching design!!

Any reviews/opinions/advice gratefully recieved.

Sid

Ive got a Diablo but have yet to try it out but I can tell you that there was a recall on all Killingtons last year, something to bear in mind if you decide on one.

cheers slinger, let me know how you get on re pitch size.

I saw the recall on the killington but assumed it would have been sorted by now.

I think i'm going to go with the Diablo as i have a mate in the business who should be able to get me a decent discount!!

Ive been undecided on these tents as well. at the moment we have a diablo 400, which is a tad on the small size for us.

We have decided on the killington due to the 3rd bedroom and fly pitching first.(After much deliberation)
