We have a Maritsa 700 and have so far not had problems finding a pitch. However I have noticed that the more commercial sites have much smaller pitches but luckily they are not the ones I'm interested in.

Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes

New! Please upload a photo of your tent to the Tent Showcase!

We used our Maritsa with the front porch, and an Icarus 800 side porch and never had an issue fitting it, a car and a trailer on our pitch!

Don't let what GO tell you put you off - its a fab tent!!

Please consider when getting a discontinued tent, that if you want a front porch or carpet, check that you can still buy them. A quick search will bring loads of requests for Vango canopies and carpets and in particular the Marista and Icarus.
