Vickywood CUMARU EASE 135 vs Vickywood CUMARU XP 135

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 EASE 135 and the CUMARU XP 135 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.

The CUMARU EASE 135 is 12.5 kg lighter at 69 kg against 81.5 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Floor area is close to identical at 2.6 m² and 2.6 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. The CUMARU EASE 135 lists $216 lower, at $2,905 against $3,121.

The CUMARU EASE 135 uses aluminum 6 Series; the CUMARU XP 135 uses 6 Series aluminum. Canvas differs too: recycled 320 g/m2 ripstop polyester, PU-coated; rainfly 420D Oxford polyester, 5,000 mm water column, UV 50+ against 320 g/m2 ripstop polyester, 5,000 mm water column.
