We had the Vango Airbeam Kinetic 600. I loved the space and the layout but it failed on the first 2 outings. First outing a beam burst - tent has been up less than 24 hours so it went back to vango for a replacement. The second outing it leaked, only slightly but such and expensive tent shouldn't leak at all imho so after a major battle with the supplier I finally got them to agree to refund my money. I'd owned the tent less than a month.

Kelly - have you seen the new polyester bells? You still get the feeling and space of a bell tent but for less than half the cost. Alternatively any lightweight tunnel (the Hi Gear ones aren't bad quality) should be doable on your own, using the "cross camping" method of pitching.

That's dreadful ours has been fab so far. We debated the Vango glad we didn't pick it now x
