Hi all,

Anyone have any experience/wisdom regarding Vango vs Outwell airbeam tents? I'm aware most of the pros and cons are down to personal preference but we've always had Vango tents but are really tempted by the Outwell Edmonds 5 so wondered what people's general experience is?

Many thanks in anticipation 😊

I think in reality there is very little difference between them.
In the main they both offer mid range tents for the masses. You might find one suits your needs better than the other but i wouldnt think there would be too much to choose between them in terms of quality.
The quality of both Vango & Outwell airbeams (and i speak as an outwell airbeam owner) is not a patch on Karsten so you need to bear this in mind. The big polycotton tents from both are massively overpriced if you ask me (unless you get last years model for half price)

Brilliant...thank you. Any ideas where I can see a Karsten in the flesh? (We're in the Midlands)
