Product Information

Full details

The Vango Capri 400 is a versatile 4-person tunnel tent designed for small families, couples, and camping beginners who prioritize comfort and ease of use. It provides a generous living area with stand-up head height, weather-resistant construction, and specialized sleeping quarters, though its size and pole-based structure require a bit more effort to pitch compared to instant-inflate alternatives.

FAQs

Does the Vango Capri 400 include a footprint?

The tent comes with a fully sewn-in groundsheet, but a separate footprint can be purchased to provide extra protection against sharp rocks.

Can I split the bedrooms?

Yes, the tent features a toggled inner divider, allowing you to split the sleeping area into two or remove it entirely for one large master bedroom.

Is the fabric fire retardant?

Yes, all fabrics used in the Capri 400 meet the European EN5912 safety standard for fire retardancy.

How much space does each person get in the bedroom?

The queen-size bedrooms are designed to provide 60cm of sleeping width per person.

Can the front canopy be closed?

The front canopy is open-fronted, providing a sheltered, semi-covered area that is ideal for gear and footwear.

Troubleshooting

Visible condensation inside the tent

Ensure all Vango AirZone vents are fully open to allow for proper airflow and cross-ventilation.

Drafts entering the living area

Verify that the external storm skirt on the sewn-in groundsheet is pegged down tightly against the ground.

Difficult to pack tent back into the bag

Ensure all air is squeezed out of the sleeping bags and tent fabric, and utilize the included oversized carry bag which offers 50% more volume.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous stand-up headroom throughout the living area
  • Effective bug and draught protection with the sewn-in groundsheet
  • Excellent light reduction in bedrooms for improved sleep
  • Integrated storage and cable entry points for modern convenience
  • Includes oversized bag for easier packing

Cons

  • Larger pack size compared to smaller pop-up models
  • Requires manual assembly of PowerFlex fiberglass poles
  • Heavier weight makes it less ideal for hike-in camping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Pitching the Capri 400 involves threading the PowerFlex fiberglass poles through the color-coded sleeves. The process is streamlined by the pre-angled pole design which helps the structure stand on its own as you peg it out. Always use the adjustable pegging system to ensure the tent is taut; this prevents water from pooling on the flysheet. For maintenance, ensure the tent is completely dry before storing it in the 'Easy Pack' carry bag to prevent mildew growth. If the tent has been exposed to salt air or heavy mud, wipe down the poles and wipe away debris from the groundsheet before folding. If a seam begins to show wear after years of use, standard waterproof seam sealer can be applied to maintain the 3,000mm HH rating.
