I have been looking for a link to the Colorado 1200 but with no joy. However here's the spec for the 2005/2006 Colorado 1200dlx which is exactly the same except the 1200 dlx has the protruding front porch area and the plain 1200 has a flat front. (Which will be easier to fit onto pitches, btw.) My DLX cost me £199.99 when it had just been discontinued and I thought I got a bargain.
Note it's got an HH of 3000, which is really very good. Also it's a Vango, one of the best. Incidentally the Colorado has been re-released for 2009 with a SIG, but at a somewhat higher price! Good classic design of tent. Really, you can't go wrong.

Link says 'not active', Val, but does give a teeny pic. That does sound like a real bargain price and a lot of tent for the money!
Another thought, I don't know if UKCS member Jammi has already sent the Cabanon off to a new home yet, but might be worth checking out this thread, so that both the OP and a children's charity can benefit, if it's still available?

Vango Colorado 1200 (not dlx so no porch) 2004 model, brand new for £89????
I can hardly belive that price myself, btw. I have a 2004 Colorado 1200dlx and it's a BIG tent, with three four-man pods. Not a SIG tent but it's very weather resistant and sturdy.
Erm, sorry to potentially piddle on this parade but, is that a current page, Val, or a link? Only, when I go direct to OBI's home page I cannot find a link to those clearance tents...
Is it me?

Well, I went to it via Google so you'd think it was current. Worth a phone call to find out though.
To the original poster, we are going to be selling our Sunncamp Palace 6 berth Frame Tent complete with sun canopy and a couple of groundsheets.
Whilst it's not immaculate, it is a good tent, very big and has served us well. The frame is in good condition and I have always replaced the connecting springs as when they have broken (as they always will do from time to time). It's never been packed away wet and the canvas is in good condition. It has 3 separate cotton inner sleeping compartments and comes complete with the roof lining and curtains which are all intact and in good condition. As stated above we also have the matching sun canopy that attaches to the front.
On the minus side, there is a small hole in the canvas on one of the seams where the frame sits against the canvas. However, this does not effect its weather tighteness as along the seams the canvas consists of 2 separate layers and it is the inner layer that has worn through. This could be easily repaired with a piece of blue canvas. The other minus is that the original owners of the tent idiotically pegged the mudflap around the whole perimeter of the tent when they were camping in particulalrly bad wearther. Again it doesn't affect the tents weather tightness as the damage is cosmetic and we have repaired it by taping over the puncture marks with strips silver gaffer tape (the mud flap is a silver/grey colour). Furthermore, if you do as we do and tuck the mud flap under the ground sheet you won't even notice it.
If this is of any interest to you, please post a reply accordingly and, subject to my OH agreeing, I'm sure we can help out in terms of your budget. I can also e-mail you some photos if you provide me with your e-mail address.
