Just open the three valves and the Capri 400 drops to the ground in a matter of seconds – no faffing with cumbersome poles here.
Quick tip: If the wind does get up close the ventilation flap below the side window, this will stop the draught howling through. The Capri 400 stood up well to the rigours of the wet and windy Cornish weather and was nice and stable for a largish tent. This gives you a decent amount of space to shelter in the rain or to get some shade from the sun as well as somewhere to store muddy boots and various other bits and pieces that you wouldn’t necessarily want to, or need to put inside the tent. Chris from Three Zero gives us a run through of Vango's AirBeam tents for 2016 including their new inflatable Poly Cotton and all new modular AirBeam. One of the best features of the Capri 400, especially when you consider the UK climate, is the front built-in canopy. If you want to go away for longer than a weekend and you have the money we’d recommend investing in the side awning. They have no poles No, they’re not flimsy single-skin pop-up tents, those take a highly skilled knack and the strength of the British Army to fold back into their storage disc bags.

Again good height, plenty of windows and a choice of two openings – front and side. Today someone asked me to look at the new range of Vango AirBeam tents for 2011. The living space is adequate for two adults and a child. Vango say they’ve built a ‘lights out’ dark fabric into the bedroom spaces but you’ll still need your eye mask if you don’t want to be woken up with the dawn chorus, it is a tent after all. Head height in the bedrooms is good, there are two separate entrances and decent ventilation.
More realistically the Capri 400 makes a comfortable tent for two adults and one child. The bedroom areas would take four small people on four narrow beds - you would have to like each other a lot though. 4000mm HH waterproofing, toggle up curtains, TBS stability system and diamond clear windows are just some of the features of this tent but most people like the fact that it has the ability to sleep up to 8 people comfortably. Inside you get two inner bedrooms and a compact living space. After the success of this tent last year Vango are continuing with the Centara 800 in 2016 with some minor updates listed above.
The four main tent pegs are a bit weak, the tops bent easily when hammered so it’s worth investing in some spares to ensure you’re not caught short on your next outing. We really do feel that this is the way forward for larger, family sized tents which can otherwise take an age to erect.

Pitching the tent by pumping up the airbeams is quick and easy and takes about 10 minutes once you’ve worked out where the valves are and how to work the pump.
