Vaude Arco 3P Overview - a £58 eBay Bargain? | Summit camp test

[@TheWalkingKev]

What do you think, one of my best bargains yet?

[@RealMash]

Definitly. Spacious, robust, and if the climate goes on changing, it will be an year round tent, as one season disappears ;-)

[@TheWalkingKev]

@@RealMash ha ha, very true!

[@simonseas]

It is a very good tent. The only thing that let it down for me was the inability to close the vent on the door. With that 30mph wind on the mountain it actually allowed too much draft to pass through the living space! Otherwise a great quality tent, and for £58 including the footprint, a bargain too. 👍⛺️

[@whatsnottohike]

Can't go wrong with Vaude. Great quality for decent prices. Pretty ethical company too.

[@TheWalkingKev]

Yeah, they seem to be a decent company from what I've read. Pleased with my Vaude stuff, all of it bought used!

[@taffsdestination2369]

Thanks, appreciate the watch and comment as always. Been a mad few months that's for certain!

Absolute steal you got there, looks a brilliant tent… Interested in your comment about pitching rear of tent into the wind, I’ll try this the next time, I thought it would push the outer onto the inner, but the way you had it would make cooking easier in the porch without the wind blowing into the doors… Very informative video, cheers again 👍

[@TheWalkingKev]

I think if you pitched it nice and tight at the rear it shouldn't hit the inner, but it all depends on just how windy it is!

[@scottroberts7875]

Looks pretty sturdy on top a mountain in Wales, and that has got to be a great wind test me thinks. Space looks very decent and that's always a bonus" if " with company.. But as a single occupancy would be palatial. Cheers Kev, its great to know what's out there on the Web. ATVB . Scott ,Somerset

[@TheWalkingKev]

Thanks Scott as always for your support. I'm always amazed at the quality of gear available for not that much money.

[@joinmeoutdoors]

I always used to admire Vaude tents when I was a kid. You got that one for a great price 👌

[@TheWalkingKev]

Definitely up there as one of my best bargains. Has many years of good use left... If I can find time to use it again!

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

I've heard good things about Vaude tents and when I first saw this pitched I thought - it's just a standard tunnel tent. But it's fair to say it's got some good experience enhancing features 👍

[@TheWalkingKev]

Cheers. Yeah, it's got a bit of class. Would be a good tent for your boat trips where weight isn't so much of an issue!

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

@@TheWalkingKev indeed, although I do tend to avoid thin pole tents.

[@anniemac3075]

Nice tent, I'd love it as a two man with decent space to move. Absolute bargain Kev!

[@TheWalkingKev]

Cheers Annie, appreciate your comments as always.

[@jamesdobson5022]

Looks like a bloody good tent. Very similar to my OEX Coyote 2. My preference is for a three person tent just for me and my two dogs. At a push two person if space and weight an issue. Anything smaller just is not a pleasant experience. Great video. Keep hunting down those bargains.

[@TheWalkingKev]

Cheers James, it feels like a quality bit of kit. A little heavy, but apart from that I can't fault it, especially for the price paid and the condition it was in!

[@ascendmountaineering]

Great review mate, and what a bargain!

[@TheWalkingKev]

Cheers, yeah it's one of my more expensive used tents, but it's a lot of tent for the money.

[@jezriggs]

Brilliant Bargain Kev. How about a video of how you go about finding the bargains - what's your method? Or is it just pot-luck?

[@TheWalkingKev]

Good idea. I was thinking of doing this. Was going to do a run down of all the used tents I've got so far and then some tips as to how to find them... Will try and work on this next week.

[@jezriggs]

@@TheWalkingKev That'd be great.

[@simonseas]

Good tent that! 👍

[@TheWalkingKev]

Certainly is!

[@sarahsue42]

Ah camping in "weather"with whingeing kids,I remember it well! Love a Vaude tent but that's a heavy one

[@TheWalkingKev]

It is a bit on the heavy side! Would be ok split between two people... Just!

[@P_RO_]

They always seem to rate for short skinny people. Would be fantastic for two where shared loading would compensate for weight. Otherwise nothing to not like so yes- a bargain indeed!

[@TheWalkingKev]

I think 3 would be cosy and a palace for two!

[@tormentedsoul906]

Oooh,decent tent that,would do just me nicely 😊

[@TheWalkingKev]

It's yours for £150!

[@tormentedsoul906]

Aghhh,bit much for me that,lol, I like the bargains like you 😊 @The Walking Kev
