Vango Icarus 500 Deluxe Family Tent with Separate Bedroom, Living Area and Porch, 5 Man Tent, Camping Tent for 5 People, Camping Equipment, Green, One Size

Product Information

If you plan to camp in cooler weather, this Kampa camping heater is more than recommended to fight cold and condensation. Accessories We've just downsized from the Coleman Magellan 9 man Tent to this, was looking for something that would fit the 4 of us in comfortably, 2 adults & 2 kids (8 & 11) but that wasn't as time consuming to put up and down if only staying for one night. Had a large camp bed in the larger bedroom, actually a fishing bed, which was very comfortable, with clothes and towels. The Eurohike Rydal 500 on the other hand is less expensive, although less attractive in its features. It could be a great budget tent though that could last for 2-3 camping seasons.

Easy to pitch, ‘as one’ structure with generous living area, this tent will create an ideal base for your weekend adventures. The Icarus provides a place to hide when the weather is poor or a haven to return to after a long day in the sun.Easy to pitch, prepared to do it myself but helped by a couple of other campers, would be able to do it easily a second time. Very straightforward, and colour coding to identify poles etc. I was camping alone on this occasion, so it was very spacious.

You could also consider the Eurohike Sendero 6, which you’d think is slightly bigger as a 6-berth tent, but actually, it is not. It is also less expensive than the Vango Icarus 500 DLX.

The Vango Icarus 500 has proven throughout the years, and is still a great value for money family tent. It is inexpensive, has plenty of accessories and versatile enough to serve the whole family, providing more than enough space, comfort, and weather protection. Erects as one piece with pre-attached guylines – for easy pitching. There are only 3 poles, so with a bit of practice, pitching time can easily stay under 15 minutes. Maybe it’s worth mentioning, that the Vango Icarus 500 dlx is erected ‘flysheet first’, meaning that the bedrooms, that are not waterproof, stay under the protective and waterproof flysheet. This comes extremely handy when you need to pitch the Vango Icarus 500 dlx in rain.
