: Hello,
I have owned a Roadrunner 23 tent for 5 years and I have been very satisfied
with it. I am now planning the purchase of my next tent since my roadrunner
23 is wearing out and I need your advice.
I leave in eastern Canada and I use my tent 30 to 40 days per year, mostly
during the months of August and September. It often rains and the climate is
very humid and windy. The temperature can reach 80 during the day and 40
during the night. My future tent then needs to be waterproof and very
robust. Comfortable space for 2 people and ventilation are two factors I
also consider important.
Would the TANGO 3.1 meet my requirements? Are there other models that would best suit my needs?
Regards.
CLUZO

: Just bought one of these to replace a superb but worn out Terra Nova Hyperspace. Feels very spacious in comparison, and for
tall folk the extra interior length is a dream. The vestibule seems more useable too. Only downside is it still feels very fiddly and
time-consuming to pitch. Just need more practice I guess - would like to see a video of a claim I read elsewhere that it can be
pitched by one man in less than 4 minutes!
