The tent went straight back to the shop when we got home and we got a full refund. The zips kept catching when trying to open the doors and on our last day we had rain and the water just kept running down every beam on the inside of the tent, great 😕 In the end I strapped the back to a tree so that we could stay on holiday. It never lost any air and the wind was only about 10 mph.Ĭalled the shop we bought it from and was advised to take out the beam and try and straighten it as it might be bent from original packing, still collapsed, even swapped beam for another one and still no change. We were very disappointed as the rear beam, the one above the sleeping compartments, kept collapsing in the wind. The beams blew up in ten minutes but it then took a lot longer to peg it out so in total about an hour.
Purchased this tent on the pretences that it will be up in 10 minutes. One or two more hanging lantern loops required (as previously commented)Ĭons only minor points but overall well worth the investment with the extras discounted in package deal.Ĭaution: as previously reported don't be alarmed by the airbeam seems dripping during the tents 1st self weathering process.Īdvise: make sure you have fully deflated all airbeams before rolling her up for the bag.ġ from 1 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Kip69 Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2014 Rating: Needed a bit of velcro to seal side doors at bottom (a consideration needed with other tent makes,see reviews) The con's: Great carpet but bit slippy when bare footed.

The pro's: Internal space, 5 large windows (upgraded material) with handy zip blinds, Fly screen doors for excellent ventilation, Air beam easy pitching time,Good quality carpet,Recommend the Sky liner(package extra). Our two week pitch in all weather conditions proved this Vango is everything they say it is.

I'll update this post when the matter is resolved.Ġ from 0 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Spudhead Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2016 Rating: I see the 2016 version has 30% bigger beams and 420denier fabric I wonder what brought on that redesign. Maybe it's just me but the sole purpose of a tent is to keep yourself and your property in it dry, lucky for us that it wasn't a storm as been 385 miles away from home would have been a disaster. So today I have been in touch with the retailer and they are getting in touch with Vango to collect the tent for testing ' Get your wellies on lads you'll need them'. So why a tent knocking on a £1000 rrp leaks is beyond me. In the past I have bought tents from Argos for £30 that have stayed water tight for years. There was no condensation in the tent that morning so that ruled out that theory. My biggest disappointment was waking one morning to a light rain shower that can't have lasted more than a couple of hours, so eventually I got my ass out of bed and checked for any leaks as this was the first time the tent had seen rain.Ĭonsidering how much this tent cost I couldn't believe it had leaked around the bottom of 7 bases where the beam sits on the groundsheet and the jacket that holds the bladder in place was soaking wet with 2 of the 7 having a puddle of water round them. I double checked all the guide lines and storm straps just to make sure they wasn't too tight but to no avail the beam wouldn't sit right, really bugged the crap out of me. There was however a problem with the rear air beam which would not keep its correct shape on further inspection it seems where the bedroom fly sheet attaches to the beam its weight pulls the beam down and out of shape, I checked the pressure in the beam and it was exactly 7psi as recommended, I even put in another half pound of air to see if it made a difference which it didn't. The tent looked impressive and the space inside is enormous. We took this tent for a weeks camping in Newquay which for us was a 385 mile trip, as advertised the tent was a doddle to erect and completely impressed the campers opposite us. I bought this tent in June this year at a very good price of £330 off rrp,bargain or so I thought.
