Vango airbeam eclipse 600 review zip#

To say I was anxious about the what was in the big bag in my front room was an understatement. 2 reviews, below mine detailing horrific experiences. The tent was delivered (bought directly from the Vango website) and THEN. A few small niggles and where it had gone really wrong, Vango and the retailers were on the case.

I ordered it in early May, keeping a close eye on what people were saying about it on here. I got to that decision based on a small number of criteria, namely, having used Vango successfully already (Vista 800 DLX), continued development of their Airbeam system and the size of the tent which would probably never require us to add an extension/ porch. When I started researching 'Air' tents at the start of the year I was totally aghast at the amount of manufacturers that had thrown their hat in the ring with their respective offerings.įollowing a sweep of the market place and researching the virtues of each product to within an inch of my life (big money involved here folks!) I decided that the Vango Eclipse 600 was the answer for our needs (Mum, Dad, boy 9 and girl aged 6). 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.īy: Marty2711 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. Vango's 50TH Birthday promotion model it says on the tin. All in all, the Vango Spectrum 600 AirBeam was a fantastic family tent.1 from 1 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Spudhead Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2016 Rating: This is because, in order to flatten it and fold it up, you need to ensure that all of the air is out of the beams. “The tent was a little harder to put down and pack up, but only slightly. “I had initially worried that the tent would lose inflation and need to be topped up after a few days, but our holiday was for three days and three nights and we didn’t need to add any air to it once. Within 10 minutes of parking up at our pitch, we had an enormous family tent up and ready to go. The white plugs into which it was to be inserted were easy to find. The air pump was quick to connect and easy to use. “My family and I are not experienced campers by any stretch of the imagination, and the thought of erecting a family tent is usually enough for me to develop a cold sweat, but putting up the Vango Air was laughably easy.

But the most striking feature was the ease with which the tent went up. Here’s what Jamie had to say: “From the little details, like arriving in a wheeled bag for ease of transportation and the inclusion of a number of small pockets in the interior in which to place wet shoes etc, the Vango Air impressed from the start. Some of us even climbed in the wheeled-bag it came in. Seeing the Airbeam pump up for the first time made us all yelp with excitement. It was important that Mum was comfortable because she was pregnant at the time. This time round we helped them out with a Vango Airbeam, it’s similar in size to our own Vango Tigris a family of four. They came with us to Pevensey Bay last summer but had a very small tent – and it rained – so we didn’t want them to give up on coming camping with us.

AT Easter we invited another family to come camping with us at Wowo.
