Vickywood MIGHTY OAK 160 vs Vickywood MIGHTY OAK 190
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 MIGHTY OAK 160 and the MIGHTY OAK 190 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The MIGHTY OAK 160 is 13 kg lighter at 81 kg against 94 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 MIGHTY OAK 190 gives 3.51 m² of sleeping floor against 2.93 m², about 20 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the MIGHTY OAK 160's 2. Both list at $3,661, so price cannot decide this one at all.
