sinstar Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hello! Would anyone like to buy my lovely Vango Orchy 600? It's an amazing tent, I've used it 3 times (at Roskilde, Bestival & once camping in Glen Etive) but I am finally giving in and admitting it is too heavy for me to lug around and I am replacing it. Here are some photos and reviews of the tent http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/tents/p/Vango-Orchy-600/304 Here is a picture of a bunch of folk in it so you can see how big it is inside. In this photo none of the guy lines had been pegged out yet so the walls are sagging in a bit: It is in very very good condition but there are 3 wee problems: 1 ] there is a little toggle here to toggle up the groundsheet to make it like a 'bathtub' at the door, and it has broken off. The one at the opposite side of the door is fine. 2 ] & 3 ] there are little holes in the groundsheet here. The ones at the front door are 2 smallish cigarette burns (I refused to let anyone smoke in the tent, but it appears people sitting outside the front door can't even manage to not damage it) and the one further in is a little bigger than a cigarette burn. The holes I'm sure could be patched up & repaired easily (they are very small) and I'm sure a new toggle could be attached to the door. The missing toggle doesn't actually stop the groundsheet from sitting in it's 'bathtub' position and doesn't let any water in. I paid around £180 for it and was wondering if anyone would part with about £50 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvjj Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 My mate Claudia owned one of these we used it the last two Glastonbury's it is a brilliant tent. Unfortunately last summer she put it up in her garden and the children played in it and we don't know how but they broke all the zips and the bit that holds up the bedroom parts. we are now looking for a new tent, such a shame we are not in Glasogow, she would have bought it off you I am sure. I will post a few photos of it so others can see the size of it, I think it weighs 18.5kg if my memory serves me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
