VANGO ECLIPSE 600 AIRBEAM UPDATE
I'll update this post when the matter is resolved.Ġ from 0 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Spudhead Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2016 Rating: I see the 2016 version has 30% bigger beams and 420denier fabric I wonder what brought on that redesign. Maybe it's just me but the sole purpose of a tent is to keep yourself and your property in it dry, lucky for us that it wasn't a storm as been 385 miles away from home would have been a disaster. So today I have been in touch with the retailer and they are getting in touch with Vango to collect the tent for testing ' Get your wellies on lads you'll need them'. So why a tent knocking on a £1000 rrp leaks is beyond me. In the past I have bought tents from Argos for £30 that have stayed water tight for years. There was no condensation in the tent that morning so that ruled out that theory. My biggest disappointment was waking one morning to a light rain shower that can't have lasted more than a couple of hours, so eventually I got my ass out of bed and checked for any leaks as this was the first time the tent had seen rain.Ĭonsidering how much this tent cost I couldn't believe it had leaked around the bottom of 7 bases where the beam sits on the groundsheet and the jacket that holds the bladder in place was soaking wet with 2 of the 7 having a puddle of water round them. I double checked all the guide lines and storm straps just to make sure they wasn't too tight but to no avail the beam wouldn't sit right, really bugged the crap out of me. There was however a problem with the rear air beam which would not keep its correct shape on further inspection it seems where the bedroom fly sheet attaches to the beam its weight pulls the beam down and out of shape, I checked the pressure in the beam and it was exactly 7psi as recommended, I even put in another half pound of air to see if it made a difference which it didn't. The tent looked impressive and the space inside is enormous. We took this tent for a weeks camping in Newquay which for us was a 385 mile trip, as advertised the tent was a doddle to erect and completely impressed the campers opposite us. I bought this tent in June this year at a very good price of £330 off rrp,bargain or so I thought.

Simply remove the old tube from the beam sleeve and replace with the new tube.Member Uploaded Images - click to enlarge
Vango never comprise on quality, so you can feel confident that these products have been thoroughly tested and are built to Vango's exacting standards. It's always a good idea to keep a spare AirSpeed tube with you to ensure that your holiday doesn't come to an abrupt end. You will simply need to secure the valve in the correct location and fold back the excess before inflation, the housing sleeve will stop the tube from expanding any more than is required. Important:Replacement tubes will be supplied longer than the beam sleeve length, in some cases the replacement tube may be slightly longer and wider than your original (upto 80cm longer). This item is a genuine Vango product, manufactured from 100% TPU Tube with the AirSpeed Valve system.
