![]() ![]() We would arrive at our destination and the wife and kids would get the chairs out etc and watch daddy struggle to put the awning up on his own. As the camper is a 69 VW it is not big enough for all of us so we decided early on that we wanted a big awning. We are a family of 4, 2 kids aged 3 and 7 and love camping. Would recommend this to anyone.ġ from 2 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Marriedblonde Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2014 Rating:Īfter struggling with an awning for my camper I decide to get rid of it an go for a tent instead. It can be a shock when the first beam 'goes off'. It is also advisable to warn your neighbours when deflating. Putting the tent down is also no effort and is quicker than erecting. ![]() It has made camping even more enjoyable as we can now go away for 2 night stays without the dread of putting up a 6 berth tent for 2 people. The carpet adds another dimension, but I find we have to peg out inner ground sheet in the awning at the front to avoid trip ups. I have resulted in using hair bands to extend the elastic for ease of use. I don't think it would take much to snap, then the Windows will not be covered. I find them quite difficult to open and close on a regular basis. Also, I do not like the window fasteners. I would much prefer a double zip on the doors the same as other reviews. So far we have used the tent 3 times in 6 weeks, with 3 more weekends planned in the next 6 weeks. ![]() It takes about 1.5 hrs to be totally setup, of which 20 minutes is erecting the tent, but this is better than the 1.5 hours and a lot of effort to erect the steel pole tent. ![]() I agree 10 minutes is a little misleading. We wanted a large tent which also has good awning space as we spend a lot of time outside socialising. Previously owned a 6 man Vango steel pole tent (4th tent of various origin we have owned). We are seasoned campers of about 5 years. We have just purchased one with the large awning. Oh forgot big bag to get it back into when packing upĢ from 3 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Suzigixxer Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2014 Rating: There is only two things that spoils it and that is where the ehu cable comes in as it limits you as to where you have the electric with out having to run extension lead around and that there is no where to hang light in middle of living area but other than those two points a great tent. With sewn in ground sheet and mesh doors it keeps the creepy crawlies out and the dog in.We also had the carpet (which I'm not a great fan of as I hate wrinkles in it and am for ever straightening it out) and the zips on sun canopy which is easy to put up and is very sturdy and gives a good amount of shade, we had one very windy night while we were away but the tent was solid no bending or swaying. Small bedroom used as storage area for clothes etc. And the evoque came up as what we needed both in term of space and ease of putting up.We have now been away for two weeks and it has lived up to expectations ,lots of living area, big windows with zipped curtains, we use the big bedroom with the divider rolled up so plenty of room for our air bed loads of pockets in the bedroom for all bits and pieces. We bought our Vango evoque 600 because we were having trouble with the weight of our cabanon frame tent(which we loved) as we both have back problems.I resourced for what seemed like hours and read every review.
