Buy the tent that you need now, not the tent that you hypothetically need in the future.

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.

I think that's what we have.
Yeah, it's hefty, somewhere over 2kg but we bought it with a plan to do Scotland in winter and wanted the extra room for cooking, getting changed in, that our 1kg Fly Creek HV UL2 didn't provide and we weren't too concerned about weight. Pack size is a bigger issue and it's hard to get this small enough to work on certain setups.
I've only used it in Belgium from the back of car so can't give real world use other than to say the extra vestibule bit is quite handy.

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.
Also, it's a tunnel tent - are they ok for ventilation? I see better tents have doors on either side.
