As soon as we removed the pump to seal the valve, it kept deflating. It goes on to say that there is no need to turn the white valve button as the adaptor will move that into the correct position which didn’t happen for us.
The instructions say to locate the inflation point on the beam, remove the valve cap, and insert the correct pump adaptor, which will lock onto the valve (diagrams are included on the instruction sheet). Next up was the beams – there are three on the Capri 400, and the middle one gets blown up first. These corner pegs were a lot bigger and thicker than regular tent pegs. Next, the tent was unfurled from its bag, spread out over the footprint, and the four main tent pegs were hammered in. It will also extend the life of our tent, by protecting the base from small stones etc, and keeps it a little bit cleaner (saving on lots of extra clean up at home!) I am sure it also gave an extra layer of warmth for us as well. This gave us the benefit of seeing where our tent would go, and as we were in a marked off pitch, this was really helpful. We started by laying out the Capri 400 footprint, (which I bought for £28 a few days before we went). The tent benefits from the flysheet and inner being together, making for easier pitching and packing, as well as the strong and rigid beams which are quick to inflate and deflate.

The Capri tent has a fully sewn-in groundsheet, which meant a bug-free and draught free environment. (And in case you’re wondering what the pack on hubby’s back is, it’s our double sleeping bag!)
The weight of the tent is 14.5kg, so make sure you eat your spinach to build up your muscles! Or pop it in a trolley (like we did) to take into the camp site with you. It is amazing that such a large tent fits in such a neat and compact bag! A mallet is not included. It doesn’t cost you anything more but it helps keep the lights on over here!Įverything you need to pitch the Capri 400 is inside the bag – the tent itself, the tent pegs (there are three kinds), the folding pole for the front extension, and the air pump for the beams.

Coming from Scotland, they know a thing or two about weather conditions. Since 1966 Vango has been developing tents and outdoor equipment for a wide spectrum of outdoor users who trust and rely on the quality they know comes with the Vango mark. With a strong heritage to be proud of, all Vango gear is developed from experience. My mind was boggling! Then Vango kindly stepped in to collaborate with me and my blog, and provided us with a tent, airbeds, sleeping bags, rucksacks and cooking utensils – the very basics we would need to spend a few nights outdoors! Thank you Vango! Since this was our first time camping we started to look around at the different tents that are available on the market – so many types and at varying prices, as well as all the other gear we were going to need – sleeping bags, cooking equipment etc.
