Saw one of these when I was camping in Scotland this year. It was the bigger version and was assembled in no time. Looked great. Can see it cheaper anywhere else but it is an Early Black Friday deal so will not be around long.
Hope it is of use to someone for next years Camping.

Flippin' HUKD!!!!! Just purchased - have been kicking myself about the missed Berghaus milletts airbeam tent deal with free porch back in the spring all summer, but much prefer the look of this tent. 2015 model too so hopefully all the earlier glitches with Vango airbeams have been sorted - all I could find are great reviews for this model. If I need to buy a porch / awning for the front then the total cost will be pretty much what the Berghaus deal was so I think I am VERY Happy!!! Thanks OP. Bought from Milletts as potential 6.06% TCB. Also available in the smaller 500 size for £250.

You had a lucky escape, there was nothing Berghaus about those tents, they were made under licence by Black's.
The only problem with Vango airbeam tents is they have tension straps inside the tent which really eat into interior space - daft design idea.

Looks a good deal (with a fairly good rain proofing at 4000HH), but unfortunately bought an Outwell tent last year so can't buy another for a few years. :wink:

That porch looks a bit fragile! Do these things really withstand any gusty wind?
I'm not sure I'll ever switch from my Helsport Lavvu which didn't budge during torrential rain and gale force winds in north wales.

In my experience they work well and stop the tent from flexing sideways. On the Vangos I've had, you can just unclip them and stuff them back into their storage pocket if you don't like them. I wouldn't recommend it though.
