The floor is a fully waterproof PE sheet, robust and hardwearing fabric with a bathtub design. This is a highly waterproof and durable material. Here you have an impressive waterproof rating in their Protex 70D polyester flysheet, no less than 4000 mm HH, and I can tell you this is not so frequent in family camping tents. Note also that you can order these air beams from Vango separately. In case they get punctured, which does not happen so easily, you can fix them just like a bicycle inner tube. I already mentioned that only the front pole is fiberglass, the others are air beams. Its packed size is 27.6 x 16.5 x 15 inches (70 x 42 x 38 cm) so you might even transport it on a motorbike. So you will use it at places with motorized access. The Capri 500 XL is a camping tent, with 48.3 lb (21.9 kg) of weight this is not something to carry around. It is best suited for a cooler environment with lots of rain. I have seen people complaining it is too warm. But this tent is not best suited for warm areas. Its impressive waterproof rating is such that you will be protected in any weather conditions in a 3-season use. Seasons-wise, this is a true 3-season tent, I would add perhaps even for 3.5 seasons. So you definitely have more than enough space for 5 people. The huge porch area is protected and you can use this zone for cooking and to store some stuff. If you remove the divider, you should be able to fit two queen size beds inside.īut the living room alone offers 8.8 square meters, and I see no problem with using this area for sleeping as well. The sleeping rooms are quite modest but this is only to spend the night. The floor plan below shows what you have. The inner tent area per person is 3.2 m², can you believe this? The total protected area in the inner tent and under the porch is 19.2 m². They were very generous in providing lots of space per person here. But this is unlike anything you can see in typical family camping tents. Sizewise, the capacity of this tent is 5 people. Note that the sleeping zones’ divider can be removed and you have a 2-room structure in this case.īut the presence of such an inner cocoon tent and its material puts it in the group of dark rest tents Vango people call this “ lights out” design, but the meaning is the same, you have considerably reduced glare and you can sleep longer in the morning. So this is again a sort of a hybrid design. The sleeping area is the tent within the tent, and this part is a double-layer zone while the rest is a single layer tent.
#Vango airbeam 500xl plus#
The Vango Capri 500 XL is also a 3-room design, with a large living area plus two sleeping units. Though its front pole which supports the porch is a fiberglass pole, but the other 4 are air beams, so this is a hybrid model in fact. As the title suggests, this is a tent from the group of inflatable tents, with air beams instead of classic poles.
