I am still awaiting further feedback from Vango as I can't take the tent back without paying a return fee to the camping shop.Ġ from 1 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Stu1377 Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2012 Rating: If I can't add cable tidies up the beams without loosing my warranty then the tent is no good. I wanted to take this tent abroad and do more camping in the UK with electrical hook ups and to me this tent is simply not fit for the purpose. To overcome that no hanging point at the front, you would just put a battery light on a table etc. There are two hooks on the back and central beam where you could hang a battery powered light. If you don't want electrics in your tent then great. You cannot make ANY changes to the tent (sewing, sticking etc) without invalidating your 2 year warranty and as there still seems to be some teething problems with these type of tents, not something I am prepared to do.
You would then need to run a lighting cable back again! Again no good with younger children.Īlso no light hanging point on either beam near the front so you can't get an electrical light near the kitchen. The layout of the tent means that the kitchen area will be at the front but the electrical input point is at the back meaning unnecessary cables running along the tent and under a side door. The last thing I want to do is keep my kids awake. Therefore the only place you can hang a light without the cable dangling to the floor is the bedroom. The only cable tidies are on the beam right in front of the bedroom. Lovely tent but not if your camping is primarily with an electrical hook up. The carpet just adds a luxury when camping!ģ from 3 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Lampy27 Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2012 Rating: We are using the extra sleeping compartment as storage and have opened up the other so to have a bigger area for the air bed with plenty of room to store a crate for clothes. We love the small porch over the main door which shields the door when it’s raining.
#VANGO ETERNITY 400 AIRBEAM TENT WINDOWS#
A very light and airy tent with windows to the front and sides and the 2 side doors as well as the main door also have mesh doors to allow air through. We even managed to get it back into the bag at the end of the weekend without too much trouble, no mean feat! We leave the sleeping compartments in place when packing away.Įxtremely roomy for 2 adults and we comfortably fitted 5 people in there one evening. We have a black pump which we understand is the latest version the original being yellow. For a first outing in those conditions we feel the tent is well worth the cost (£699). The tent was very solid, we had pumped our beams to around 4.5/5psi, and we didn’t even use the tension straps. Used for the first time on an exposed site on the south coast where we experienced gusts of up to 50mph and lashing rain. We are not disappointed and that is an understatement. In the end we splashed the cash and invested in one, even raided the piggy bank! We have upgraded from a Vango Tigris 400. Purchasing one this year was not on our agenda however we had already set our sights on an Eternity 600 only to learn it was being discontinued as a 2012 model. Having previously seen an Airbeam on a campsite back in 2012 we have been intrigued ever since. Proud Owners of Vango Airbeam Eternity 600! I would definitely recommend one and if any one asks my advice on tents I always seem to mention the airbeams as you can have a really big and airy family tent and none of the hassles of pitching a big tent I would know we have to pitch bothīy: Team Eagles Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2012 Rating: We recently went to pentewan sands campsite in Cornwall with friends who didn't own a big enough tent for a weeks stay so they borrowed the eternity and we went in our xlp and I was a little bit jealous of how good the eternity looked and coped in the coastal winds much so we even thought about selling the xlp We soley bought this tent as we have an Outwell Vermont xlp and needed something easy to pitch for overnight or couple of night stays and this does it brilliantly plenty of living space and big bedrooms as there are only me the wife and the dog me and the wife have the larger bedroom with the divider rolled up and the dog has his crate in the 2 berth pod. I know the ads say pitch time is 5 mins but we get this from out of the car to pegged and guyed including the footprint in around 20 mins 15 mins if its raining. We upgraded our airbeam flux 500 to this eternity 600 as our weekend tent its a great tent lots of room and very easy to pitch. 1 from 1 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Paul+kate s-o-t Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2012 Rating:
