Advantages: Excellent value for money! Disadvantages: Bulky external battery!
of the price scale, at about £200 plus. I was about to give it up as a bad job, when I discovered the VenturerPVS1712 (purely by accident) at our local Toys R Us store.
As it was on display (working) I got to have a play with it and I was immediately impressed.
The first thing that strikes you when looking at the Venturer is how eye catching it is! Finished in a nice shiny silver, with a matching credit card sized remote, it certainly looks the part.
Add a nice large wide screen and inbuilt stereo speakers (set on each side of the screen) and the image is complete.
I had looked at similar models to this on my quest and they had all been priced at around £200. So when I looked at the price tag and it said £129.99, I knew I had found what I was looking for!
After even more whining (to open my pressie early) xmas day came and I excitedly ...
Advantages: Good Size, Brilliant Value, High Quality, Sturdy, Easy to Erect Disadvantages: None that I can think of!
I purchased my Vango Venture 500 towards the end of 2006. For the bargain price of £85.00 and I haven't looked back since! Numourus camping trips have bee happily spent in this tent and it will see many more!
The frame consists of 2 large poles crossing over to make the main dome, and a 3rd smaller pole creating a loop for the porch area. Once erect, with all pegs and guide ropes in place the tent is extremely strong and stable. We have camped in strong winds and strong rain and it has stood strong throughout.
As long as there are two of you, erecting the tent is a swift and easy process. Funnily enough you tend to erect it faster when its raining! And packing it back into the bag is an art the first time but you tend to remember how to do it from then onwards and it's easy enough. When packaged, the tent is relatively heavy ...

Advantages: Cheap as anything, reliable, compact, good quality Disadvantages: Can't complain at this price!
the internet I discovered the VenturerPVS133 at the absolutely amazing price of £39.99 from Argos. Note that this is strictly a clearance offer.
Price was my absolute deciding factor in making this purchase. I don't have a lot of money and even though my actual holiday was cheap; I also had luggage and travel items to purchase on top of spending money, eating out and petrol. But for £40 I just couldn't pass up this opportunity to own something that would make my holiday twice as enjoyable and hopefully prove useful in the future. I had thought I'd sell this on ebay after the holiday to make back 50 - 70% of the money I spent on it but having tried it out I know I won't be parting with it in a hurry!.
