Vickywood CUMARU XP 135 vs Vickywood HAZEL 155
Both of these are Vickywood tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The CUMARU XP 135 and the HAZEL 155 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
On weight they are effectively level — 81.5 kg against 77 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Floor area is close to identical at 2.6 m² and 2.7 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 150 cm in the CUMARU XP 135 against 110 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. The CUMARU XP 135 lists $324 lower, at $3,121 against $3,445.
The CUMARU XP 135 uses 6 Series aluminum; the HAZEL 155 uses ABS hard shell with special coating. Canvas differs too: 320 g/m2 ripstop polyester, 5,000 mm water column against 300D elastic silk fabric with graphene coating, PU-coated, 5,000 mm water column, mold-resistant, UV-protected.
