Vickywood SMALL WILLOW 140 vs Vickywood SMALL WILLOW 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 SMALL WILLOW 140 and the SMALL WILLOW 160 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.

On weight they are effectively level — 56 kg against 59 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Inside, the SMALL WILLOW 160 gives 3.84 m² of sleeping floor against 3.36 m², about 14 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the SMALL WILLOW 140's 2. Both list at $1,933, so price cannot decide this one at all.
