Review - Vango Juno 300 Tent
« on: June 22, 2009 »

I bought this for the bathtub floor - I had the Argos one with no attached groundsheet and thought it was too risky (the difference in price is only £25).

I've had it away once and was impressed. My opinions in brief:
Good points:
  • Easy to pitch, can be erected by one person
  • Single skin so doesn't have the pitch as one issues
  • Roomy enough for two with some gear
  • Fun - looks great
  • Can McGyver attaching a tarp on for living space
  • Enough room for two people to sit up comfortably

Bad points:
  • Not sure about single skin tents in really bad weather
  • No porch
  • There was some condensation in the morning. Not enough to actually see but you could feel it. Should stress tha there was no damp on the floor
  • Quite heavy for the floor space and lack of porch
  • Still no standing room

It wouldn't be my choice for anywhere I had to hike to so in retrospect I should have got the larger 500. That said, I know I have more bad points than good but I'd still rate the tent and will use it again. I'd even be tempted to sell it and upgrade to the 500.

It's 3.75kg so defo for car camping.

Should note, when I was packing the tent last night I realised that the hang loop was nearly ripped off so attatching the tarp must have been too much for it. Doesn't look fixable but I could probably have rigged it in such a way as to not put so much weight on it.
