    we bought the vango colarado 800 dlx to accomidate our growing family it was in the sale and cost £200 but having used it several times over the summer hols we would happily have payed twice that (thats some prase from my hubby belive me!) its definatly a two man job but after 25 mins we were putting the kettle on for that essentail first brew. the weather on our last trip was horibble with wind and rain for three days it got a good soaking and stood up to the gale no problems and because its so roomie inside we had space for 9 of us to play and chat with out getting on top of each other or the bedding which always used to end up coverd in muddy footprints with our much smaller old tent.the only down side was getting the thing compleatly dry as the bad weather continued after we got home we aired it in our living room which still wasent big enought to pull it out right so we had to keep turning it for a day or so if your thinking of buying this tent iwouldent hessitate to reccoment it.happy camping

    Bought the Vango Colorado 800 DLX tent for £200, went to Yorkshire for the bank hols, I'm a camping virgin apart from my army days. Down to the tent: easy to erect with two, instructions were clear, bought a footprint,£30 which was well worth it, tent is spacious but you would have to be on more than friendly terms to get 4 in the big pod. Stood up to lots of wind and rain. Only thing wrong was entrance needs an awning which I shall purchase before my next jolly. happy camping!

    We just spent 2 weeks in the Vango we are a family of 4. Easy to put up about 45 mins and we are new to camping. We had only had 1 night of rain and by god did it rain,in the morning we were one of the few dry tents. sewn in ground sheet is fantastic no drafts or unwanted insects. lots of room inside we only had 2 of the bedrooms in and used the area were the 3rd bedroom is supposed to go as the kitchen. As there is a second door there

    Note - 2009 model - now with sewn in groundsheet.

    Bought Vango Colorado 800 DLX as a replacement for another manufacturer's tent which failed big time within a few years of careful ownership & was an expensive tent so very annoying.

    We spent some time choosing this tent - priorities being space due to family & friends camping together & quality & design with regards to the Scottish weather - not always ideal for a large family tent - this one should stand up to strong winds well due to its sha ...

    As a family of 4 with 2 young children and both adults with very limited camping experience we found the Vango Colorado very easy to erect and very spacious although i would say the 4 sleeping area would require smaller people than us. I would suggest it is a spacious 2 and tight 3 person area.

    No problems at all here. Don't know why others found the
    Vango Colorado 800 DLX difficult to erect. I found it very easy - just a bigger version of my 3-man Vango! Could put it up on my own. Put it up pretty quickly with some assistance. Everything colour-coded. No worries.Loads of space, inners are great, groundsheet fits perfectly (so another surprising comment by others there...!) we had a very windy time and had no issues at all. Really happy with this tent.

    Huge. Not expensive (especiall ...

    Having worked for Keycamp and Eurocamp for 4 years and leisure camped for many more I can safely say I am a very hardened and experienced camper and I very much regret buying this tent and wished that I had seen the Outwell range of tunnel tents before buying it. As it is I am now purchasing an Outwell and putting the Vango Colorado 800 DLX up for sale and i will just live with the guilt of burdening some other poor soul with it, though they'll get it at a bargain price!.

    We are a family of four and have just used our new tent for the first time. It is light and airy and despite having friends and family with us, we still found it to be very spacious. We tried it out knowing the forecast was strong winds and heavy rain and have to say, its structure was sturdy and we stayed cosy and dry! We enjoyed all the features this tent has to offer - thumbs up all round.

    Being a camping novice I had spoken to a number of other people before choosing a Vango tent, as other people seemed to think that these tents were one of the best. In my opinion, if that's the best that tent manufacturers have to offer then there is a gaping hole in the tent market that needs to be filled. I am now looking for another tent but I'm afraid I will be staying clear of Vango tents in the future. Not too nice spending the night in the car with my 9 and 3 year old kids.
