  1. Hello folks, anyone with experience of the Vango TBS 100? I am in the market
    for a 1 man tent but can't afford a huge ammount and this one looks
    interesting.

    Cheers

  2. 1 man tents and cheapness, then you've come to the right place.

    Er...unfortunately...all the Argos Pro tents were sold out.....We bought
    them!

    Some of us *may* have bought an extra or two....

    Would you care to start the bidding at GBP 34.95...?

    Yes, got one and like it. Packs down small and light but is long enough
    for me (6' 0"😉 unlike some of the other one-man tents that were on the
    market at the time. Decent sized porch will take a rucksack and a pair
    of boots and still gives space to cook in.

    A good outdoor shop should let you assemble it in store to get an idea
    of size, pitching, and so on.

    Got one, been all over in it (inlcuding the Alps)... great little tent, the
    vestibule is big enough to house an 80l sack and still have room to get a
    brew on.

    I've just bought myself a Vaude Hogan, and as I'm struggling to save up
    enough for a set of ice axes this winter, I'm selling my TBS 100. If you
    want to pick one up nice and cheap (perfect condition, I clean everything
    when I get back from a trip) then drop me a mail.... £60 is a fair price I
    think.

  7. Cheers for that, I am tracking one on e-bay and CCC outdoors are selling
    them new for £75 at the mo'.
    I have a Pro-Action tent and it's very good but I just don't trust it. No
    matter how I pitch it the zips fell stressed and I would hate it to give up
    the ghost when the weather got nasty. It'll be for sale when I get a new
    tent.

    I've used one on a week long backpack & found it excellent.

  9. I have used one now for about 8 months and have found no problems. Also
    excellent after sales from Vango. I stupidly damaged a couple of
    connectors - contacted Vango and, by return of post, recieved a large
    packet of 'tbs bits and pieces' free of charge.
    I have long been a confirmed Vango user - tents, sleeping bags and packs and
    can't fualt them or the service.
