Vango capri 400 airbeam tent review
Vango calls them 'Nightfall bedrooms', which means the fabric has been designed to reduce early morning light. Unlike the front door, there is a step to get in and out. Both are nice and roomy and have sewn-in pockets to stash your essentials in. There are two 'king sized' bedrooms in this variant, separated by a toggled inner divider that can easily be removed if you'd prefer an open space. You can purchase king poles separately if you want to prop this fully open to create an extra canopy area. As previously mentioned, the zip doesn't run all the way around, so at the bottom you're relying on a raised floor section to keep draughts (and any local wildlife) out, which is not ideal. For this step-free access, as well as the curtains, Vango uses toggles rather than zips.Īnother side door means you can open up the tent fully on warm days. There's a wide front door with mesh layer you can deploy when you want to let the air in but keep the bugs out, and the groundsheet can be folded flat to the ground in the daytime to offer step-free easy access for wheelchairs and buggies – although you do have to be quite precise in your pegging out in order to get it to sit flush to the ground (note also there is a step to get into the bedrooms). The large integrated porch area, offers plenty of space for socialising or covered storage.

There's a roomy interior with transparent 'window' sections – and curtains that can be easily toggled open or closed – as well as 'AirZone' ventilation panels to promote airflow though the tent and reduce condensation. We found these more intuitive to peg out and adjust than a traditional all-in-one rope. Vango uses a slightly different guy rope style, with a central hoop linking two ropes. As you'd expect, it's nice and easy to put up and down – even those new to camping will figure it out pretty quickly.
