I have been looking at this tent and it looks like a good option for what i will be using it for. It will be used for some backpacking but also for week long stays at campsites.

I was wondering if the 2 storage areas at each end would be big enough to fit a 70l rucksack in and also what the quality is like.

Any other suggestions of a tent that would be good for me would be welcome.

Hi.

You said on your previous thread that the tent will be used for 3 person trips. As was said before, a 3 person tent will not fit 3 persons. And this particular 3 person tent will definitely not fit 3 adults. (My own 3 person tent is about 210 cm wide in the sleeping area, and I definitely would not like to share it with two other adults.)

However, for 1 or 2 people, it's great. The storage capacity is just about adequate for gear for two, if you don't mind a bit of scurrying around in the mornings. And the quality is - well, Vango quality. Pretty good, in other words.

If you're still set on only one 3 person tent, have a look at the Vango Spirit 300+. It won't solve your sleeping crush, but it does have more, more useable storage. Especially important if you staying on one site for a few days at a time. And it weighs in at only half a pound more.
