it's a tunnel tent - are they ok for ventilation? I see better tents have doors on either side.
I've never had a tunnel tent, but I use a Coshee 2 (2.1kg) which has a door each side for riding and never had a problem with ventilation.
I love a door each side because it means you can avoid wind, rain etc by just getting in/out the other side.
Not really relevant, but I once camped next to a lovely lake, and meant I could get in and out away from the lake for ease, but sling open the lake side door in the morning for #epicviews.
RonnieOatmilk-
I spent much of the day reading old threads here and there and watching some youtube...and kept having the same thought: how lovely it would be to wake up in the morning and view my new found bit of paradise from the comfort of my (yet to be bought) sleeping bag. If it's a quiet spot and I don't feel the need to rush off, then it would be nice just to enjoy the beauty a while.
Thanks for responding and thanks for confirming my own wishes! Yes. It's a great tent that Xenon and I may even kick myself later for not going for such a bargain, but I think I just like the side access and window on the world too much. I guess something else will pop up again of interest later on.

Hi, does anyone have any opinion on the Vango F10 Xenon UL2+? (For very short 2+ day cycle tours)
I can get a used one like new for €160 (Germany), but then realised its the "2+" version, not the "2" kind. The 2+ version has a bigger porch. Standard 2 = 1.9kg, while the 2+ = 2.4kg.
I was actually looking for something for myself, but if its a bargain then I could buy it for when I have a partner again if its too big for one person. Could get a bivy in addition for just myself in the meantime. Not sure if this is the right way to approach this.
