![]() We recently took our tent to Jersey in the Channel Islands for our first camping trip, having had just one opportunity for a quick test pitch to check we knew how to put it up. There is then a front awning section with a peg in groundsheet which is large enough to set up your kitchen in if you wish. The first section has a sewn in groundsheet and this is the section where the bedrooms are. The living area itself is split into two sections. ![]() The fourth double bedroom is a completely separate pod that you can clip up in the large living area. It has three double bedroom pods across the back of the tent and two of these can be opened up to make a four berth bedroom. Being an airbeam tent it is very easy and quick to pitch and the tent is made from Vango’s technical cotton which gives the tent a lovely feel inside. The Illusion TC 800XL is a large family tent suitable for up to 8 people. Having previously camped in both canvas and polyester tents I knew I preferred the more breathable fabrics and we liked the layout of the Illusion so the new polycotton version was the tent for us. ![]() Towards the end of last summer we started to look at tents and in the end we ordered our tent as soon as Vango announced their new 2017 models. I used to camp very regularly both with my parents and then as a scout leader for many years but there has been a long break in my camping (decades rather than years!) and camping gear has really changed in that time. I don’t know if you’d call us new to camping or old hands. ![]()
