![]() We bought it to replace our Vango Icarus 500 as we wanted an airbeam with a canopy area for cooking equipment. We have used it for two separate camping trips so far, one long weekend in Ireland and we are just home from 3 weeks in France (in various locations so we pitched and unpitched a few times). ![]() Generally we love it but it has a few nightly bits.Ġ from 0 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: TheClods Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2017 Rating: The tent is very heavy but it helps having a wheeled bag. We bought the Vango electric pump to make life a bit easier but feel that this isn’t the best option as it is quite slow and we are still researching what else we can use. The dark technology bedroom is great and really does work. I bought a brown and beige Royal Atlanta high quality carpet cut it down and stitched an edge on for an extra luxury finish. The slide rail & clips are great for hanging the lights, the Vango carpet lets it down, being the wrong colour when the tent is brown and the carpet is a dowdy blue and poor quality excuse for a carpet. We undo the bedroom partition so we have a nice large bedroom, but you can’t remove the partition and it looks a bit untidy and the doors are a bit weird in that when you open them the door unzips to the floor and just flops on the floor! Whereas with other tents the doors hang and you can clip them back. The porch is great with or without the door as it is the perfect shape for shade from the sun wind or rain. We chose the Vango Solace 400 Airbeam as it ticked all the boxes, it’s a good size for two of us although the lounge area is a bit cosy, but we bought the porch door which makes another large room. We used to own the fabulous Royal Atlanta 6 but decided to downsize and upgrade. It’s our fourth Vango tent in succession and won’t be our last.ġ from 2 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Jujohns Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2017 Rating: I reckon one person could pitch it (if not too windy). It’s a lot bigger and heavier with the TC, but we’re ok with that. Now, provided it lasts us 10 - 15 years it will have been a fantastic investment. We chose the Technical Cotton because we wanted a more robust tent (our dog put his foot through our last tent after a big stretching session), quieter in the wind and rain, cooler in the summer and warmer in the colder seasons. We like the built in inner for the living area, but also bought the porch door which made the front of the tent a great kitchen/dining area with ventilation. We have camp bunk beds which allows us to fit 3 kids in one of the bedrooms (aged 9, 7 &4). We went for the 400 because going bigger restricted where we could find flat pitches. We bought a Solace TC 400 for a family of 5 plus dog, and found it a superb tent. But the Weathershield 68D material stood up to the test and didn’t let a drop in, we could have been at home.0 from 1 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Stglazier Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2017 Rating: ![]() The oversized windows bring the outdoors in, and just by opening the window gussets and pegging down the eyelets, you can get plenty of air flow through the tent, while still keeping it private inside.Īfter the classic night of camping fun with smores and games by the camp fire we woke to the sound of rain falling on the tent roof in the middle of the night. That being said, you’ll be left with a much bigger main room, I reckon it would sleep about eight people comfortably! Might be more of a festival vibe though… You can take the inner tent down if you like, but it does help with regulating the interior temperature. I reckon this is awesome, if you need a little space from the kids or if you’re camping with mates, you don’t all have to share one space. There are two doors and a dividing wall, creating two ‘bedroom’ spaces, giving you three rooms in total. Upon entering the tent you’re facing a black remove-able inner tent that separates the rooms from the canopy. This massive front room would be a great area to hide away from the weather and play cards with friends in, store your gear or even as a place for your four-legged friend to sleep. The Hayman 4 AIR felt a lot bigger than the 4-person tents I’m used to due to the size of the canopy that you first step into when entering the tent. And unsurprisingly, just like the outside, the inside was huge. We unzipped the main door of the tent eagerly, keen to see what type of home awaited us. I was shocked and so was everyone else at camp, at just how large and simple the blow up tent actually was. ![]()
