Title says it all, thinking of purchasing the above for our family of 5, but can't find any reviews and nowhere nearby has one pitched so I can see it laid out.  Anyone got one and would they recommend it?

Thanks in advance.

Yep, got one. Haven't tried it for real yet although have done a test pitch.

There's just the four of us, and there's plenty of room. The larger bedrooms are a good size for 2 people, and the smaller pod is OK for a single person, although we're going to use that for storage. I'd say there's plenty of room for 5... although there might be some fighting over the single bedroom? LOL

The living space is just GREAT! It's nice, light and airy and there's plenty of room to sit around a table and have all your bits and pieces in out of the rain. I can't wait to try it properly but have to wait until June...

We are a family of 5 and the Kura 800 dlx tent (2009) model, was recommended to us by a chap I know who sells tents and camping gear. It really is a great size, bigger than I expected, I guess the only downside is that as of yet Vango do not do a front extension, although some of their canopies may fit?? All in all a great buy , not the cheapest , but as always you get what you pay for, and to me it was very good value for money. It was our first tent experience for many years, amd was loved by all.  

Not the easiest tent to pitch but then again they never are!!  I would recommend buying the footprint and erecting it prior to going away.
