Now is the winter of our discount tents.....:man:

Thanks, have ordered one for use next summer!

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.

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:

fantastic deal, ordered thanks!

Great post op may be worth adding 500 version is £250 aswell before some runt posts it as a seperate deAl

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.

6% quidco too
i want to buy this but dont have that money to spare after i have bought a treadmill,electric toothbrush,vacuum clearner,tv,perfume on amazon

Very tempted but have just bought a second hand Montana 6 with extension but it's huge and heavy.. Would this be ok for family of 4 and a dog? Any idea whether there are any extensions for it? Thanks

I have been using a Vango kela this year. As they don't have poles, they are faily bulky. I never used the internal wind braces all summer and had no issues. Depends on your campsite! I've since traded last month for an Outwell. The quality is far better.

how fast can this be put up (no funny jokes)

so very tempted with this. i currently have a 10 person tent which is huge, which is good for us, but the poles and tent take up my entire estate boot!

liked wrong comment lol

Same price at Ultimate Outdoors - but they beat a competitor's price by 10%.

But the bullet and bought it at Blacks. Hubby wanted one of these for a while and we will buy an extension from selling our old tent next season. Cheers OP! X

:smile: Very good!!!

Thanks for that, I can lay my regrets to rest!

just for clarification, it doesn't come with the porch its pictured with does it?

A lady and her 6yo son had one of these (not sure which size) next to us in Cornwall this summer. She put it up on her own in a very short space of time. It seemed a great tent but I agree about the porch - there was a spell of hideous wind / rain -it was the first time ever I was up in the night hanging on to guy ropes / tent - it was on my Outwell driveaway awning which was ripped by the morning. The Vango porch was billowing and blowing like mad and did collapse but it rolls away really quickly if it does get too windy and the tent seemed very solid.

Presumably the main tent has a sealed groundsheet. How does that work if you buy the porch extension?

TCB tracked at £2.31!!

Mine has at £2.88?!

does anyone know if you can get sides and front for the porch

Thanks.

So the extension really isn't for use as part of the main tent in wet weather.

Hi, it can be used in wet weather. One extensions come with a footprint and small toggles to attach it to the main tent so it feels a part of it. I will prob use this side bit for wet boots, food/kettle storage and some seats and keep the main enclosed but for if its raining. The open bit at front with windbreakers will be good for cooking and sitting (if there's any sun!) x

Have you already bought the extension? I haven't looked for the best price yet. Perhaps it's cheaper to buy a bigger tent in the first place!

The extension retails for £250 but I have found it for under £200 for the larger size. I haven't found another 6 person airbeam tent for under £500 other than Millets own Berghaus branded tent (£486). On most websites the tent in this deal is still £400. Hope that helps.

The Eurohike Hampton 6 seems another good option, bigger, less money, but not airbeam and 3000mm rather than 4000mm.

It seems to now be out of stock, millets, blacks and ultimateoutdoors have removed the listings.

Mine has been dispatched thankfully so expecting it tomorrow :smiley:

Ours too. Wondering how we'll put it up to see if we like it - garden a bit wet at this time of year!

They're still flogging off the smaller one for £250

Gone now. Had my order cancelled at 1 o'clock this morning.

Got mine delivered this morning, have to say taking an order then cancelling is a big no no in my book. Poor retailer, had a similar experience with Argos last week.

Mine has been delivered. Not sure if we will get to try it outside but I am eyeing up if my sitting room is big enough to give it a go lol!

​so, unpacked it yet?

I haven't. It won't fit inside the house so we will have to brave it on a dry day (maybe Spring!) have you? :smiley:

Nope, not even opened the box... Waiting for a suitable time and still looking on eBay for similar price but bigger, second hand tents. Returns window is until end-Jan,so no hurry!

Anybody know whether a vango Universal non airbeam awning will fit the solaris 600?

​Brilliant, I was wondering how well the non airbeam awning would work with this tent, now I see!

Wonder how well it would work to move the awning forward so it covers the door then the side of the main tent porch.

​Any chance of a photo or two of your setup?
