Hi all

I need a new tent for this weekend. I'm breaking into a cold sweat thinking about how long it will take to pitch my Vango Maritsa 700!

I'm looking at the Vango Capri 500xl with footprint and carpet (£575 - local camp shop) or the Berghaus Air 6 with footprint and carpet (£470 in Millet/Blacks sale).

Both look pretty good but is it worth the extra for the Vango? We have 3 kids but only camp a couple of weekends a year.

If anyone is interested in the Maritsa let me know as it's an excellent tent - just more suitable for longer trips.

Thanks, Steve

They are totally different designs.

if you need a vis a vis tent then the berghaus is good value, if you prefer the bedrooms side by side but with more living space and views then the vango
