3/1/2023 0 Comments Vango inspire 600 airbeam tent![]() ![]() We pitched our montana earlier this year in heavy rain so the footprint was swimming in water but none ever soaked into the SIG as it was much thicker.Įasy to pitch and easy to take down and get back into the bag. So though we really liked the tent we are disappointed that for a £1300 tent package that the groundsheet seems to be less waterproof than much cheaper tents we have seen. ![]() The SIG is lightweight because of the thick tent fabric to reduce pack size. Which couldnt escape any where else because footprint is waterproof. The water in the carpet was condensation because of the cold water trapped in SIG. It soaks water up from underneath into the fabric of the groundsheet itself without coming all the way through. Our retailer on speaking with Vango said this is the design of the SIG. The sewn in groundsheet seemed to soak up the water like a sponge over a large area though it didnt seem to be coming through totally. When we removed carpet rainwater had tracked under tent as it was windy and had got between footprint and groundsheet and had soaked into the thin groundsheet. We used the footprint but on day 2 after a morning of rain we noticed the carpet was wet. The area we were disappointed with the tent was the sewn in groundsheet. The tent comes with a groundsheet in the porch area but this doesn't line up with pegging points on tent front. All guylines were out and the beams themselves seemed solid just the fabric flapping about especially the open front porch area. The tent light we had clipped to the central beam we had to take down as it was swinging about too much to use. Tent seemed to be moving about in the wind much more than the steel poled tunnel tent pitched next to us, but we expected this to be the case. We used the TBS bands.It did flap about a lot more than our Outwell montana. The carpet had a hole in it but retailer exchanged it straight away no issues. This years model has the 420d material which feels thick and of good quality. We like the overall design of the tent, lots of space and light. We bought this mainly for the ease of pitching. ![]() If you have a photo of this Tent click here to upload itīy: PitcherPerfect Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2016 Rating: Check below to find low prices, discount codes and offers when buying the Vango Inspire 500 tent.Member Uploaded Images - click to enlarge Few luxury tents can match this convenience. The Vango Inspire 500 includes the usual luxuries such as mesh doors, a canopy sewn in at the front and ‘lights out’ darkened inner tent fabric.Įrection is simple – peg out the groundsheet and blow up the AirBeams which gives an estimated pitching time of 5 minutes. Two separate inner tents are included, sleeping 2 and 3 people respectively and can be removed to increase storage space when less people are camping. Large windows at the front of the tent allow a panorama across the campsite and light to flood in. this large tent sleeps five campers and has a generously sized living area. Of great interest will be the highly waterproof (6000 mm hydrostatic head that is rarely found on family tents) flysheet which means that bad weather shouldn’t be feared. It has a host of extra features with discerning campers in mind. The Vango Inspire 500 is at the top end of the AirBeam range of inflatable tents. ![]()
