Hi All,

Recently bought and erected (in less than an hour!! yippee) the Tigris 800. Well chuffed. Anyway, upon completion we noticed on the inner (above the cable inlet) a number of velcro tags - which i'm guessing are to hold an electric light lead (Unless of course you know different). However, just below and to the right are four, what I can only describe as, holed tabs. They are the shaped like a large plectrum, with a punced hole in the centre of each. Any ideas what they are for? 

And are there any other hidden little secrets we should know about? 

Thanks

Just a guess..are they something to do with the internal cross bracing straps on Vango tents

Have a look at these images

Hi

I think they are for the little storage panel ( well they are in my tigris)

If you check the bag tent came in you should find the storage panel that just fastens to the tabs .

I agree with the last 2 replies. We have the same for the pockets in our Columbia 600.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!

Hi All, and thanks for the replies. Sorry for the delay but we've just returned from our 'trial' in West Wales (Hurricane Irene was on the East coast of the USA right?). Anyhow, checked with another Vango owner on the site and yep you were right. Apparantly they are for a 'pocket tidy' - useful - if we had one.

Seems Vango forgot to put ours in the box/bag - Looks like an email to customer service is on its way.

Oh, and by the way, woke up 2am on Friday morning (last) to find us in a lake approx 2 inches deep and covering about 1/4 of the Tigris..... Leak - not a drop!! Well impressed.

Seems we have well and truely caught the camping bug - now, where's warm?
