We had a lovely vango vista but one of the bed chambers is damp and smelly and I cannot find a replacement.

So I think we need to buy another one - but I really liked the vista

easy peasy to put up
beds at either end

it look like armadillo

I have an aztec asilo which is basically a dome with two pods on each side of it for sleeping in. I bought it because I am tall and I wanted to be able to stand up comfortably in it (it's 2 metres at the apex). However, you do always end up stooping because of course it's a dome (doh).

If I could get another, I'd get one of those tunnel tents - then at least you can get a nice long run of standing upright.

What I do like about the sleeping pods on ours though is that they are quite far apart ie you are not having sex with just a thin film of canvas separating you from the kids....

The Vista looks pretty much the same as the one I have just bought, a Gelert Alaska, which costs a fair bit less than the Vista so I assume not as good quality. Here is a diagram of the footprint.
