The Vango Amazon 800 Family Tunnel Tent costs around £600 new we bought this one in 2008 and were unlucky enough to hit the Gower during the worst weather seen there for decades. Whilst the tent stood up to everything thrown at it the kids were scarred for life and no longer wish to camp. Hence its only been used once and now its time to get rid of this awesome tent and perhaps buy something a little more suited to a weekend away just to ease the family back into entertaining the possibility of future camping trips. As can be seen from the technical blurp below it’s a snip at £350. If you are interested pm me.
The Amazon 800 is a large family tunnel tent with sleeping space for up to 8 people. The Amazon 800 pitches flysheet first meaning you can keep the inner dry should the weather turn and is easy to pitch with it's tunnel design. The steel pole structure is solid and reliable and coupled with a Protex 5000 flysheet makes for a durable tent that you can rely on. Storage is taken care of with a large roller bag provided to keep all of your equipment together.
Inside the Vango Amazon 800 offers an abundance of space with a massive living area, plenty big enough for a table an chairs, and flexible sleeping options. The Amazon 800 is supplied with 3 separate bedroom pods - one large which can be separated using a detachable divider and 2 smaller which can be used as required allowing for more living space if all bedroom pods are not needed. An air flow vent system is included to keep the atmosphere inside the tent comfortable and mesh doors and windows allow for extra ventilation as required whilst keeping and insects out. The crystal clear windows of the Vango Amazon 800 make the interior light and airy and the flexible front door can be opened fully to give a 'veranda feel' to the tent. A cable entry point is included to allow easy access to an electrical hook-up and inner pockets and hanging organisers help to keep all your essentials close at hand.
Outside the Vango Amazon 800 offers fantastic protection from the elements. Both side doors to the Amazon 800 are covered to allow sheltered entrance in poor weather. Taped seams, a fully sewn in groundsheet and a storm skirt system are included to provide maximum protection for anyone inside the tent. In fairer weather the large detachable canopy on the front of the Amazon 800 can offer a shady position for some al-fresco dining - great for those long Summer evenings.
