Omschrijving
This 4-Man Vango Force Ten tent has served me well for a number of years. It is fantastically spacious and lives up to its reputation as being bomb-proof. My family and I have used it in some of the worst conditions imaginable for a weekend away, and it has never leaked or caused any problem in such weather.
There are of course one or two issues. Firstly, near each ringlet in the outer flysheet for the A-frame to poke through there is a small hole. I have tried to show these in a couple of the photos. They haven't leaked in a normal British summertime downpour, but in heavier rain they might pose an issue. They should be easy to fix and the orange cotton is available from a number of sources.
Secondly, the springs holding some of the A-frame leg poles together have rusted and snapped. This makes putting the tent up alone quite difficult, but it is easy with 2 or more. I have clearly labelled the poles so it is simple to see which goes where, and this doesn't affect the stability of the tent at all. Again, I have tried to show this in the photos.
Finally, and most trivially, the pegs are mismatched. They do the job as well as a complete set would, but have clearly been accumulated over a number of years from different tents and campsites. A new set wouldn't be required, but some people might prefer this.
Despite the niggles, this tent is incredible. I am selling it as I have no need for one this size anymore, but will be sad to see it go. It is fantastic in all conditions, and the faded, camouflage orange gives it a wonderful character. I will be more than happy to answer any questions and upload more photos if needed.
Thanks for looking!
