Vickywood MAPLE 155 vs Vickywood MIGHTY OAK 160
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 MAPLE 155 and the MIGHTY OAK 160 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The MAPLE 155 is 14 kg lighter at 67 kg against 81 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Inside, the MAPLE 155 gives 3.36 m² of sleeping floor against 2.93 m², about 15 percent more, though both are rated for 2. The MAPLE 155 lists $756 lower, at $2,905 against $3,661.
The MAPLE 155 uses hard shell with graphene-coated fabric roof; the MIGHTY OAK 160 uses ABS, Line-X coated. Canvas differs too: breathable 300D silk fabric against recycled ripstop polyester, 5,000 mm water column, UV 50+. Closed, the MAPLE 155 sits 7.700000000000003 cm lower on the roof — 28 cm against 35.7 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
