4-6 people
Headroom in the interior

From a relatively small group of tents available on this scale the Campo Family Xt fulfilled all these criteria. In addition, the estimated Amazon price was compared with competing models very favorable.
A space for 4-6 persons have quite a lot of tents. Also headroom in the interior and a full rainfly is frequently encountered in this tent category. When weight but the chaff separated from the wheat. Most tent weigh significantly more than the targeted 8kg. Gross vehicle weights of 15 kg and more are not uncommon. Also putting up is often quite complicated and therefore lengthy. Here are to compare before buying YouTube videos quite a first decision-making aid. We were able to about 1 week with daily on - build in 7.5 minutes and dismantling the Campo F.. Color coding on linkage bows and loops help here. Fabulous! The existing on Campo Family apses are more than adequate. In the Greater you can sit at a pinch at flysheet closed and outside the cabin. Processing appears VauDe - typically perfectly and some details (several sewn pockets in the inner tent, loops for hanging in the dome, rainproof effective Belüftungsöfnungen, etc.) are quite nice. All in all, a successful idea.
However, a disadvantage I found the low height and number of tension points. They make the tent extremely susceptible to wind. On one night there and even impossible pitch the tent in the wind and stabilize was. We had to sleep that night in the open. A tent of this size deserves probably more than 6 guylines. Especially when the pole sections have only one crossing point in the dome. 4 Beaufort are an absolute limit for this model. In the linkage is such in his knees, which they fear a material breach and makes impossible the movements of the tent to stay in the interior. When in high winds no sheltered place to build, has to be delivered. Furthermore, the guylines should be about 20-30 cm higher. This would, I think, quite a bit to contribute to a solid state. In addition, reflective tension cords would prevent the occasional night stumbles.
However, an absolute disgrace the supplied tent pegs!
The 8 supplied Y - rich profiles straight times to prove the bottom loops of the tarpaulin. To use the guy lines, you have to purchase additional pegs !!!! Basically, you buy the tent incomplete. Well times saved at the wrong end! For a quality provider like VauDe a real cheek. With 15.5 cm length herrings are probably borderline small to ensure reliable stability. Another highlight is the build quality of the profiles. These are so sharp that 3 of the 4 fastening eyes of the inner tent for a 3 - week vacation are damaged by chafing. One will probably take no longer apply and tear at the next available opportunity. I have set images. Please judge for yourself. To use the guy lines, I should buy herring type MSR Groundhog. Great stuff! Love VauDe-ler, look at the times. So `s made. In this matter I will contact the Customer and refund here report. This should not put up with it yourself.
All in all, I would advise against the purchase of VauDe Campo Family XT. But if you access nevertheless, one is well advised to replace the supplied pegs. That's not bad. There are not many anyway ;-) You should also ask leg check at the campsite for a wind-protected place.
