What are 'Nightfall Bedrooms'?

Can I use this tent in strong winds?

What is the main fabric made of?

The tent uses Vango's sustainable Sentinel Eco Fabric, which is made from recycled PET plastic bottles.

How is ventilation managed?

Ventilation is managed through AirZone panels and mesh doors, allowing for adjustable airflow to reduce condensation and improve comfort.

Troubleshooting

Tent is leaking

Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the groundsheet is fully sewn-in and undamaged. Check that guy lines are adequately tensioned to allow water run-off. For persistent leaks, re-waterproof seams with a suitable seam sealant.

Condensation inside the tent

Improve ventilation by opening AirZone panels and mesh doors when conditions allow. Avoid cooking inside the tent and ensure sleeping bags and gear are dry before bringing them in.

Poles are difficult to insert or remove

Ensure pole sections are correctly aligned and free from dirt or debris. Apply a silicone lubricant to pole ferrules if needed. Never force poles, as this can cause them to break.

Zips are sticking

Clean the zip teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or grit. Apply a zip lubricant or wax to ensure smooth operation.

  • Excellent ventilation system with AirZone panels and mesh doors
  • Darkened 'Nightfall' bedrooms for improved sleep quality
  • Spacious living and sleeping areas suitable for families
  • Durable and waterproof materials with taped seams and sewn-in groundsheet

  • Not suitable for storm conditions or extreme weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unpack the tent and identify the pole sections. Assemble the PowerFlex fibreglass poles and insert them into the corresponding pole sleeves. Pitch the tent by raising the structure using the poles, then pegging out the guylines for stability. Connect the inner tent bedrooms. Ensure the groundsheet is flat and tensioned correctly.

Compatibility: The tent is compatible with Vango King Pole Side Door accessories (sold separately) for added versatility. It is designed for use on standard campsites with relatively level ground.

Care: After use, clean the tent by brushing off dirt and wiping with a damp cloth. Avoid using detergents. Ensure the tent is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Store in its original carry bag in a cool, dry place. Regularly check pole sections for any signs of damage and inspect seams and guylines for wear. For the Sentinel Eco Fabric, gentle cleaning is recommended to preserve its properties.
