Vango Odyssey Inflatable Family Tunnel Tent, Epsom Green, Airbeam 600 [Amazon Exclusive]

I'm basing this review on the fact that we purchased this tent for £200 in last year's Black Friday sales. If it wasn't for that discount I WOULD NOT BUY THIS TENT! You can get the Vango Amalfi for a lot less than the full asking price and have the backup of Vango and a full set of accessories. There are absolutely none for this tent so you're going to have to improvise which I have no problems with.Overall I am very happy with the tent. It's a dream to put up with the pegging out taking more time than the actual initial setup. Having lost a tent in high winds before this took the brunt of a Cornish storm and I had no concerns with this tent compared to our old traditional tunnel with fibreglass poles. We seemed to have some water seepage on the first night up the outer sock of one of the airbeams but we never saw it again regardless of the rain. Sleeping compartments are fine on the 600 for a teenage family of four on airbeds, switch to mats if you want the full six berth option but this is typical of all tents.The split groundsheet does not bother me and we only had a few visitors which quickly left the same way we came in. However I always pitch on top of another groundsheet so this helps keep things out and we bought a cheap XL picnic blanket as a carpet (300 x 200 on Amazon and a lot lighter than a tent carpet).Also the split sheet gives you the benefit of some extra ventilation which is why we did not have so much of a condensation issue as we normal experience in our old Vango Tigris which was full bathtub.My only grumbles are the lack of a fly mesh on the side door which is a bit tight considering the price point but we blocked this door up with a table so not a huge issue for us. I don't mind the big bugs but it's the teeth with wings that are a nuisance.Also Vango does not seem to be helpful when supporting this tent beyond standard spares. We could not find any kind of awning that would happily fit the tent so we opted for a simple tarp over the front door (also cheap in the sales) attached to our windbreak and some additional king poles. This kept the elements off the font of the tent.Overall I'm happy with my first Airbeam and very happy for what we paid. If I was paying full price I would probably opt for the Amalfi which sacrifices the side door but does give you a full set of accessories and SkyTrackII. Also you get the full bathtub which is a benefit or hindrance depending on your viewpoint. However if this floats around under £300 and you're happy to improvise then I wouldn't hesitate

Looks great ..that's the only good thing! Flimsy! ...NO sewn in groundsheet so water in the living area under the carpet (which is now soaked). Water pooling around the bases of the airbeams.Water coming in even though everthing is zipped up. I mentioned flimsy! ..pegging out straightening the tent footprint a strap ripped the tent, it was sewn directly to the tent with no backing ...so a rip before the tent was even inflated. No pockets inside to store stuff. There is a massive vent in the bedroom to let cold air in whilst your trying your feet from the water in the living area. Why no sewn in groundsheet ..what were they thinking? Give this one a miss!!

We used this tent once due to covid it was nearly 2 years before we could use it again on inflation one off the beams deteratiad and would not inflate Vango wanted nothing to do with this not even offered a replacement beam only free postage, found a shop in Pickering nearly an hour away who saved our holiday new beam supplied cheaper than Vango offered ,3rd time using this and now it is leaking from every where wet through inside spent all night trying to cover things and stay dry, so 2 years old and can only use on dry days,Looking for ideas how to re proof it if any one has any

This is a sturdy big tent with two sleeping compartments which can be used as one large compartment with black outs. There is also a large large area to put dining tables, chairs etc. It takes a while to get a hang of pumping it up so I would advise practicing before taking it out for the first time. Once you have the hang of it, it really is fast and easy to put up.

My first inflatable tent so I was half expecting it to be s gimmick but it’s works brilliantly. Minutes to put up and take down. It actually feels more stable than my old tent with poles. Huge amount of space inside and it actually goes back in the bag.Packed up it is a fair weight and size but I won’t be carrying it any distance so that not an issue for me but worth being aware of. Otherwise it’s great.

Was over the moon to get this tent at a bargain price last Nov 2019, but due to Covid etc last week was first time I used the tent. Very very sad and disappointed that it leaked in the rain. I can't afford to buy another tent so I'm going to have to make the best of it...but if it hadn't leaked I would of given it 5 stars as it was so easy to put up and it had tons of room for me and my dog...such a shame it leaked...ruined our holiday 😞

We have been on a 4 weeks camping trip in the tent. Its very easy to set up, and stabile in the Nordic winds.We found that its better to be to people when folding it, one to open the velves so that all the air gets out. Very good tent. The only thing that we wish was different is at the window could be open to, for ventilation.Will revomend it..

at the first built, a scratch as been damaged without any much strength to pull on a carpet attach....the mentionned details are wrong . the tent is not bugs free exept for the night chamber. As well the flood can come by under as the carpet is not linked.Material of roof is cheep not like the price seems to tell is would be a good product.Of course fast and easy to built with the pump ... Finally a very basic product ...avoid it !

Tente utiliser 3 fois 3 semaine et la toile à sécher et c'est craqué du tente foutu mi a la poubelles 600 euro bravo

ottima fattura, anche se carente di alcune migliorie che i modelli recenti hanno inserito, ha indubbiamente le caratteristiche per essere una tenda utile ai climi dei nostri tempi. Rigidità garantita per la resistenza al vento (ha bande tensionatrici anche al di sotto del fondo) e l'impermeabilità del processo di impermabilizzazione del sovratelo. In ultima, la vivibilità in altezza dovuta alla forma dei tubi, quasi verticali sul perimetro. Il fondo staccabile è assolutamente idoneo alla resistenza in caso di pioggia; lateralmente sormonta il fondo dello stesso sovratelo esterno.

Wir waren mit dem Zelt noch Anfang Oktober unterwegs. Hat Wind und auch Regen gut standgehalten, alle Nähte dicht..Schneller Aufbau sowie Abbau der auch alleine zu schaffen ist.

Muy bien embalado,llego en su fecha todavía no he tenido oportunidad de probarla,pero si he tenido oportunidad de ver una igual la vi montar y desmontar(es lo que me hizo comprar esta) la tela está muy bien no veo que vaya haber problemas de que se raje a lo no ser que se tense mucho la base y luego al darle aire se rompa,pero eso ya es cuestión de no hacer las cosas bien,yo la he visto montar en 5 minutos ,a mi en general me parece buena tienda resistente ,las tuberías de aire las tiene por dentro con lo cual hace que la tienda sea más bonita,aparentemente parece una tienda normal es muy amplia y puedes ponerte de pies en todos los sitios.

Todo ok
