Anyone any experience of the Vango Icarus 500?

Looking for something at that sort of price level.
Leisure camping with wife & kid - long weekend max really.
Any other ideas if that's not so good?

We use a Campfeuer 5000. Sewn in groundsheet, tons of room, 20mins up and down for two people, totally waterproof and a double skinned roof allowing ventilation so no condensation either. Spare poles available on eBay if you need them.
We don't use the 6 person bedrooms as there's only the two of us, which makes for even more space for our Yawn kingsize bed, bedside tables, lamps and bedside mats.We also have dining chairs and an inflatable sofa.

Been back onto https://www.thefamilytentshop.com/ to order a few more bits today.
Absolutely superb service. Highly recommend using them if you are picking up a few bits.
Found them through the Tent Talk FB group which is also worth joining.

To the OP, did you go for a Hayling 4?
I've got one from 2016 and love it. I can set it up by myself in about 10 mins using a 2 stage electric pump. Plug it in and it fast flows up to a certain pressure then pumps up to required higher pressure shutting off once at the right pressure.
Love all the glazing, making it feel bright and airy. We bought the optional vestibule which makes the tent much larger for living in on poor days. Without the vestibule the front acts like a huge wind break and is great for sitting in shelter but feels like you are still outside.
One thing missing to make it absolutely perfect is a darker bedroom area but looks like they have addressed that in the newer version.

Yes, I did. Ordered from The Family Tent shop who did me a good deal and have great service.
Ordered a few more bits from them that are due today actually. They rang asking what day I'd like it delivered and have kept to it. Have just had my 1 hour time-slot advised. Small things like that make a difference to me rather than just using the cheapest courier and item getting lost or having to be picked up from 50 miles away.
Have trialled erecting it but unfortunately still too wet in these parts to have used it yet.
I do believe the current model has a blackout bedroom.

Great tent, dead easy to put up.
Now considering purchasing the latest version which is currently on offer at go-outdoors.

Seems a decent price at the moment and despite having watched this and the previous model for a while I don't remeber it being much cheaper at the end of last season either.
Any users of the tent?
