Can anyone advise between these two tents.

We have sold our coleman saltlake 9 man as the older kids dont want to come anymore.

We are looking at the Easycamp Boston 500/600 and Vango Icarus 500/600

The only thing that puts me off the vango 500 is the bedrooms seperate as i cant find any info on this

Can anyone help with this or should i be looking at some other tent?

Many thanks Jo & Nigel

Some of the reviews here refer to bedrooms/bedroom but at least one refers to a "removable divider", which may answer your question.

i have just bought an Icarus 500 and even though i have only yet used it in the garden i am very impressed although 5 berth is a tad optomistic!

will have to buy a kingsize inflatable mattress to get the three kids in in thier own sleeping bags...

may have to save up for an extension of some type soon.
