I can't make my mind up which to go for (Varanger 8-10, or SO 8 man), and if i'm going to buy SO, i'll need to order soon as they're built to order.
It's for two adults and a young child, and will be car based, frequent short breaks (1-2 nights) throughout the UK.
Weight: Varanger 11.3kg / 25kg winter
SO 5kg + groundsheet ( we could use a Varanger 8-10 which is 1.5kg) / 7kg + groundsheet Winter
Cost: Both come in around 1.5k with inners/groundsheet/stove.
Space and weight could be an issue with our car being an Toyota Auris.
Will we miss the 'bells and whistles' of the Varanger ?
Should we be concerned that SO's based in the States, in case something's wrong ?
Would the simplicity of the SO lend itself more to frequent, anywhere usage, and yet still provide a comfortable family shelter ?
Any advice is much appreciated please
