    I was pretty torn between both these, but ended up going for the Outwell Nevada M for about £200.
    I had virtually decided on Vango Icarus 600 - We have small children so need a tent with one big sleeping area.
    But then I saw the Nevada M on offer in blacks and went for that just because Outwell does seem to have a much better reputation than Vango and it has thicker poles too!

    Seems a very good pice though OP esp if you are looking for a 4/6 man tent with 2 sleeping areas! (Just beware though cos you wouldnt get 6 single airbeds in there)

  • DONT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!! We placed an order for the outwell tent on 25/8 after seeing this on money expert. Took money got order confirmation etc. My husband phoned up today 5/9 asking when order was due as it was late only to be told they were out of stock and were not having any more in. They didn't contact us to arrange a refund or notify us, if we had not chased how long until we got our money back??

    Yeomans have just been bought out by someone who saved them from administration.... I'd be very very careful about how you purchase from them at the moment. A lot of the campsite forums are talking about it and how orders aren't being received etc.

    Pay only by credit card!!
  • Thank you!! thought it was strange no one is answering phone and yes we used Credit Card!!
  • Dont worry too much if you don't manage to find stock at Yeomans.

    Argos do a similar tent from Outwell and its in stock and £10 less. (Its a 5 man tent though). http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3402478/Trail/searchtext%3EOUTWELL.htm

    At a glance the argos one isn't waterproofed to the same level. The one in the OP is probably a range or two up on the argos model.

    The Argos Outwells are the equivalent of the Tesco value range. They are specifically made for Argos and to a reduced specification. You won't even see the tents on the Outwell website for example!
  • Thanks Guys for all your help.. at least we will get money back via credit card company. Thought it looked too good to be true, no wonder there having problems!!
