The Vango Monte Verde is a massive new tunnel tent, introduced for the 2010 season and updated here for 2011. The striking difference with the Monte Verde over most other tents of this type is the large fully enclosed porch area which also features a fully sewn-in groundsheet. The porch area is so large it is being recommended for the storage of bikes, inflatables and all your kitchen equipment. The Monte Verde features a steel pole construction which provides a massive expanse of space (ideal for mud wrestling) with no less than 6 large window panels making the interior feel light and airy. The accommodation on the Monte Verde 900 features a 2+3+2 arrangement along the rear wall of the tent plus a removable 2-berth inner/closet that is positioned behind the internal partition wall door. There are no less than 4 doorway entrances - one on either side of the tent and 2 front door panels, one or both of which can be opened at any one time. The living space and bedroom areas of the Monte Verde 900 feature a fully sewn-in groundsheet as does the porch (all offering 10,000mm HH protection). Other key features include, external pole sleeves and pole clips allowing flysheet first erection, fully seam-sealed Protex 6000 durable embossed polyester flysheet for 6000mm hydrostatic head protection, storm skirting, colour coded PowerPlus 22mm steel upright poles, PowerFlex roof poles, breathable 190T polyester 'lights out' inner tents with mesh vents, flexible inners than can be removed when not in use, 'Crystal Clear' windows with internal covers, various mesh vents, hanging organizer and inner pockets, zipped cable entry point, roller bag, carry bag, repair kit. Fire retardant materials used throughout. 20 minutes pitch time.
