Vango Family-Tents Vango Capri Tent

I just put this tent up yesterday for the first time. Such a cool thing - why don't US companies take a hint from others and start producing these air beam tents?! It was easy to put up and very sturdy. I am impressed with the material - it is more substantial than any other tent I've owned other than my canvas tent. I like that the sleeping area is separate from the "living" space. I like that there is a place to run electric into the tent without letting bugs in. I like that the floor material is tarp like. I like that the air vents have velcro sticks to hold the flaps open. I like that there is a lot of head room. The only thing I wish this tent had that it doesn't is a screen on the side door. I guess we'll be keeping that one closed. The tent was as easy to take down as it was to put up. Everything fit easily back in the carry bag. Looking forward to many days and nights enjoying this tent!

I have yet to really put this tent to action, but just after putting it up I can tell that it is quality. I researched air pole tents for quite a while before finding this tent on Amazon, as air pole tents by a quality brand are really hard to come by in the United States for some reason. This tent is huge... it may be hard for some to find campsites that will fit this tent. NOTE: it is heavy as hell when it is all packed into its carrying bag (which is pretty large), weighing around 50 pounds. I will update my review sometime this summer after it gets some real use. UPDATE: This tent was put to the test after spending 2 weeks in Idaho wilderness. The only two cons I have are the pack weight (a little over 50 pounds) and the lack of ventilation for hot Idaho weather. This tent became a sauna in the heat of the day. I plan to modify the side door by adding a screen for more ventilation.

By myself I can put up this,and take down this tent in about ten minutes. lt is so big, it is a one bedroom condo for me. I put a tv in it. Amazon please bring more airpole tent from Vango, and the other UK company's such as Kampa, Outwell. There is a market for these rv alternative tents. This is the newest up to date2017 Capri model. The U.K. Tent company's come out with updated models every year. This is the base model from Vango, they sell many more models in the UK that are bigger and more luxurious, and some that are smaller.Check out YouTube for videos on this model, and many others, just search "inflatable tents ".

I really like this tent. Great for big families or just two, but if you are in the open and in the sun it can be very warm inside. I used a fan keep the air circulation flowing but that would be the only reason i didn’t give it five stars. The interior is extremely roomy and the canopy works great so you can sit or grill in the shade or away from the rain.

Wow this is nothing like the tents I have found in the us. Tent is made with materials that feel like real quality. The only thing i would caution on is the tent is warm.. higher quality materials means less airflow. I love the tent just bought 2 fans to move the air!

After 3 long weekends of camping in Western Massachusetts this summer, once late May, and twice in July, and one week late August in Acadia National Park in Maine, I regret buying this tent. It is obviously an overall high quality tent. It is an absolute breeze to pitch, even by myself, which was a requirement with 2 young kids of 3 and 1 years old.The tent is marketed as having "Lights Out" sleeping compartments, but I don't think it deserves that marketing description. The sleeping compartments let in much more light in the early mornings and at nights than one would hope, like, or expect for a "Lights Out" tent.The amount of light in the sleeping compartments I could -though begrudgingly- get over with, but the tent is simply too hot. It would be fine in early spring or fall, but in summer (when most people like to go camping...) this tent gets too hot. Mind you, this was not Florida, Texas, or Arizona. This was New England. And almost all campgrounds in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or Vermont are state parks where you camp between the trees. Even in the shade of the trees, it's uncomfortably hot. The fact that the side door does not have a mesh door is incomprehensible. There are always bugs around, mosquitoes and gnats. We disparately need more ventilation, but the side door is pretty much useless, because of the bugs. This is not something to cut costs on, and for the next product update I suggest putting a mesh door on the side as well. Either that, or just a mesh window instead of a door. You don't need more than one door anyway; you DO need more ventilation. In fact, it would be very welcome for the windows also to have mesh, and the back vent panel to be at least twice as big.Again, this was in New England, USA, in the woods. When I set up the tent in our backyard (we live in the Boston area), in full sun, in the time it took me to set it up (10 minutes), it turned into a sauna. An unbearable sauna.Unfortunately, the return window to return it to Amazon.com has closed, but in its current form, this tent is not suitable for camping in the US. In fact, I don't even know I'd want to camp with it in Europe. The whole reason I bought this tent is that I'm from the Netherlands, and I wanted a European style tent. But I can't imagine going camping with this tent in Belgium or France in summer. I guess part of the problem is that I grew up camping with a large cotton tent, and cotton is a much more breathable fabric than the synthetic fabric on the Capri 500XL. To offset this, you need much more ventilation than the tent currently has.On the flip side, if you like camping in the fall, when the nights are chillier, this tent would be perfect. The sleeping compartments stay nice and warm at night, and the living compartment is comfortably large for letting 2 kids play and crawl around.We bought a tarp for underneath, and the optional carpet for inside. We had our friends buy the carpet in the Netherlands and bring in over, because at the time of writing, the carpet was not available (on Amazon). The carpet made the living room super cozy and comfortable.

I was really excited about this tent. The side door does NOT have a mesh inner - and since it does not, the tent is very hot. I expect in the UK where Vango is from the circulation isn't needed, but here in the US it sure is. It is possible pitching a tent in Europe they leave the entrances open for ventilation (without mesh) and leave the sleeping areas closed (which have mesh). I camped in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for a week and really liked the tent. However, it was really hot during the day and I was expecting the inner mesh in the side entrance. I would have loved this tent had it come with the mesh side door. I will most likely be buying another tent of this style after I find one with the mesh side entrance. Alas, I don't expect it to be the same price point :-( I am returning but Amazon (and maybe Vango) will get the money back shortly...

Awesome tent, well built, holds up to moderate winds, plenty of room for a Queen size mattress, easy to put up,

Camping 2patches on brand new tent floor otherwise very nice easy to put up.

j ai adorer cette tente facile a monter solide, très bien imperméable, que du bonheur a chaque fois q u on monter la tente o il y avait foule très bon achat ne regrette pas,

Great tent! We arrived at the camp site with the brand new tent still in its wrapping. We needn’t have worried, the tent went up like a dream, and packed away just as easily. Sturdy, plenty of space... Really happy

Does what it says on the tin. Much quicker to erect than pole tents. Nice lot of room inside.

Great Product, A bit of a large tent but worth the money and great innovation Air Beam technology.
