This tent is really close to the Dometic Boracay 301 TC which I just recently bought after having watched your video. And although both tents have similar sized living and sleeping areas there are some major differences: The Boracay is missing the integrated front canopy (a larger front canopy can be bought seperately) yet has a dedicated storing area behind the sleeping cabin, it's debatabe whether this is a genius idea or just an inconvenient place, I'll find out real soon. I think for bad rainy weather the Boracay is the overall better tent as there is large PVC windows all around and the optional front canopy has side windows and is also long enough (180cm x 230cm) to comfortably sit underneath it without getting wet. The Harris 350 TC seems to be better ventilated and you can combine living and canopy area by removing the front door, the canopy missing any side windows might be advantageous when camping in direct sun. Smaller Polycotton tents like these two are indeed the ultimate niche market, it's interesting that Vango even bothered to release this tent in the first place as probably not many people gonna buy it. I personally assumed that having a smaller tent gives me more flexibility with setting it up outside of dedicated camping sites and it will still be big enough for me & my dog, if my girlfriend wants to come along she can always sleep in the storage area anytime.
I am liking this tent but I have a Vango 450 airbeam tent which has a closed in front and a slightly larger living area for when the weather is inclement. Difficult to justify changing.

At last, a small manageable TC tent. Perfect for solo campers. Thank you Vango. Hopefully Attwoolls will have this on display soon?
We currently have the polyester version on display in the 500 size but are waiting for stock of the new TC 350 model.

Can the windows be zipped fully on the living room front? ie stopping all draughts
Are you referring to the front of side window? The zip on the window on the front zips around the top and sides but not completely the bottom.
@@AttwoollsCoUk I mean the main front door. Or is it just a draughty toggle up groundsheet?
