Vickywood MAPLE 155 vs Vickywood MIGHTY OAK LIGHT
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 LIGHT share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
On weight they are effectively level — 67 kg against 69 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Inside, the MAPLE 155 gives 3.36 m² of sleeping floor against 2.73 m², about 23 percent more, though both are rated for 2. The MAPLE 155 lists $540 lower, at $2,905 against $3,445.
The MAPLE 155 uses hard shell with graphene-coated fabric roof; the MIGHTY OAK LIGHT uses ABS, Line-X coated, lockable. Canvas differs too: breathable 300D silk fabric against recycled ripstop polyester, 5,000 mm water column, UV 50+.
