Vango Purbeck 600XL Tent, Vivid Grey, [Amazon Exclusive]

Product Information

Pitch the tent, clean the cloth and let it dry. Apply the impregnation agent on the cloth with a plant sprayer or other spray. It is also possible to use a paint roller or brush. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent. Also treat the inside of the tent. Thoroughly clean any windows with a moist cloth. Do not let the impregnation agent dry on it. Let the tent cloth fully dry. Repeat the treatment if needed. Note that you can remove any of the dividers in the sleeping area. You can also remove the inner tent completely and have all the shell tent as a single and fully protected room. So the tent can have a variety of configurations. You can have 2 rooms as a minimum (the porch plus the shell tent as a single room), 3 rooms (when all the dividers are removed), 4 rooms, and 5 rooms. I have seen some complaints that the porch is without a floor. In view of the 19.38 square meters of the inner floored area, it is hard to understand this. Such a floor-less space is great to have as it is, without the floor, here you can cook and also use your camping chairs and tables without concern of damaging the floor.

The true entry point to the living room is deep under the porch and it is completely protected from the rain even if you keep the double front door fully open during the rain. This door can be kept with mesh all the time, unless you feel cold, and you will always have enough air circulation through the tent. The double outer door can be kept open even if it is raining. No, this is probably condensation. Make sure the tent is properly ventilated to keep condensation at a minimum. Some have also complained that the front wall (the double door) is angled and water can get in if the door is open. This is not a big issue, you have ground in this area, there can be no damage to your stuff, this is so by the design. The windows are with what they describe as climate windows design, solid translucent material for views combined with mesh above for ventilation. The inner tent is a breathable polyester. Note that this is what they describe as lights-out design, so the fabric is darker in the sleeping area, and the light is reduced. But there is no doubt you can use it for 3-season-plus camping. There are mesh openings close to the solid windows, for ventilation and to fight condensation.Cable Entry Point with Tidies - Zipped entry point for power cable, with touch fastener tidies to keep cables out the way Vango AirZone - High and low level ventilation panels combine to create a comfortable flow of air through the tent. Air circulation is essential for reducing condensation

Here you have an impressive structure that includes an inner tent within the tent, plus a large living room, plus a large porch. The inner tent has three separate sleeping units with removable dividers. The porch is fully enclosed and protected, and the only difference, when compared to the living room, is that the porch is without a floor. The picture below shows its floor plan. The floor plan and the dimension. VERDICT The Stargrove II is perfect for families looking for a tent which is practical but great value for money Featuring large Diamond Clear windows that allow light to shine through into the living areas all throughout the day. Roll-away toggled curtains allow the windows to be covered at night. It’s not just light that gets in as air can freely work it’s way through the tent thanks to the mesh doors and AirZone panels which provide exceptional ventilation that can be easily managed. Delivered Monday to Saturday 8am-8pm, excluding bank holidays. Once despatched you will receive updates from the courier. When a zipper is running smoothly, use a dry PTFE spray or silicone spray. Do not spray onto the cloth and preventively spray to prevent future problems.

But how many people can this tent accommodate in reality? Apart from 6 places in the inner tent, the living room has 114 ft² (10.6 m²), this is a fully sealed area, and 6-8 people can sleep there on the floor. So this tent can accommodate 12-14 people if necessary, quite incredible for a 6-person tent, and you still have the porch. But I follow the official capacity specified by the manufacturer and it is in my list of best 6-person tents. The Stargrove II 600XL is the latest; a six-man tunnel tent with lots of living space and an enclosed built-in awning at the front. Only for very short periods of time. When a tent is stored while wet for a week or longer, it can get moldy. This is harmful for your tent and possibly your health.
