Hi there

Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to pitch a Vango Diablo 400.  We're new to camping and found the instructions confusing.  We're not even sure which pegs to use.

All help appreciated.

Thread all poles in and then get someone to stand inside the tent to hold it up while you do the main frame work of the three poles for the central area.

Once the main area is up do the bedroom pods, then peg out.

Then do the outer, tie on and peg and guy out.

Thanks for your replies so far.

Could someone explain the peg system.  There are 3 different types of pegs - ordinary type, ordindary type with loop and broader type which I guess must be the V peg.

Hi. The V pegs go in the rings at the main corners of the flysheet at the bedrooms and front canopy. The thin hook pegs go everywhere else. The funny ones with the flat tops are for things like the groundsheet in the front porch so you don't fall over them. HOWEVER, I would seriously consider replacing the pegs used for the main guys with something better and stronger. Delta Pegs come highly recommended and are available at a discount from Rob an this forum.
