Bringing this thread back.
Just been to Go Outdoors and they still had the Vango Turini 200 there on offer for £187.47.
They've discontinued it, but basically they have changed the name and colour and hiking the price up again, so I though I'd grab one before the new one comes out.
http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/vango-turini-200-touring-tent-p290272Haven't set it up yet but will be giving it a go in the garden before too long.
And as all of you may have guessed, I don't give a crap if the bike gets dirty outside or gets rained on, the 'garage' bit is to sit in if the weather turns bad and storage of all the bike gear.
I bought it as we've got a Vango Spirit 200+ (also renamed) but always found it cramped for two with all the luggage and bike gear. You can't stand up in it, so it's getting dressed lying down. The mrs can kneel or sit cross legged but I can't. We're still going to use this tent and it packs very small for how big the tent is when pitched, so will fit in the top box.
But this year Jen WILL be doing her test and getting a bigger bike, and most of the times we go away together camping we go to West Wales and she goes on her bike anyway- So the rear seat can be used for the tent.
I've had Vango tents before and never had issues with the tent, my pitching has been to blame on a few occasions where the porch ground sheet was left poking out filled with water when it rained over night. (I do tend to use a £2 tarp not the correct footprint/groundsheet, so not a flaw in tent design)
My older tents (Various high street camping names, Eurohike ect) have been tried this year and all found lacking compared to the Vango Spirit which has been used more times but over a shorter time.
So I'd pay the money and Buy Vango again, and have done.
