Vango VG ISIS 600 MID

We took this tent out as first time campers and thought it was great. It has lots of space and the 2 bedrooms are great. It is easy to put up, esay to take down and packs away well. We have 3 kids and they ran about from room to room and it withstood the test. It didn't rain so can't comment on how it performs in the wet

Just returned from our first camping trip. As 'newbie' campers we found this tent is very simple to set up.It took about 30 mins to pitch the tent, during the trip we had a heavy rain shower overnight one night, no leaks. We did not need to use the TBS system as you only really need it in windy conditions, given this is a tunnel tent it seems to be a good idea. The bedroom divider is just a sheet you toggle into place and will not really offer much privacy but for a family it is not needed. We are going to buy the extension porch because as spacious as this tent is, it's easy to use up the living space with a table and chairs.There is nothing to dislike about this tent, the pegs are a bit flimsy but I would imagine most stock tent pegs are a bit crappy. We bought some decent rock pegs so did not have an issue.Overall, very happy with this tent and would recommend as a good entry level / starter tent for a family of three or four.

I was so disappointed by this tent that I sent it back to Cotswold Outdoor straight away. The pole was broken when it came out of the box - paracord snapped. Having erected the tent in the back garden it became immediately obvious that this was not as quick as the manufacturer claimed. I have years of experience of pitching tents and I am a part time outdoor leader who takes students around the world.The tent poles are put under too much pressure making them likely to break.The TBS Tension Band System II looks like an after-thought - it is a clumsy design that demonstrates the main tent structure simply isn't strong enough - if you forget about the tension straps (at night time) you are likely to walk straight into them -especially as they are black and cut across the main door and bedroom. Equally if you forget to put them up in the morning, before you go out for the day, you may not have a tent to come back to if the weather changes!I bought this tent for weekend camping with the family and two bedrooms was an important feature. The curtain between the rooms is pathetic and fits so poorly this in reality is a one bedroom tent.This tent has few redeeming features. I opted for the Outwell Nevada MP in the end - a bit more money but so much better in every respect.

Poles split already after 4 2 night trips. They say not included in the warranty. Shame on you Vango, thought you had high quality standards. We aren't rich and now we are stuck with it.
