So it looks like our summer camping holiday is back on

All i need now is some SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!

after a rather cheeky and somewhat tongue in cheek Email to Vango a few weeks ago a very good guy at AMG ( you know who you are ) has given me the loan of an Eternity 600 and front canopy 

it arrived today. just got back from pitching it and boy its beautifull

and crikey with the front extension its big!!!!!!

Now my mission to convice her indoors that this is the tent for us really starts

i would of posted lots of lovely photos but the flippin batteries in the camera were dead

was a breeze to pitch so hopefully will post lots of piccs this weekend

so for now all thats left to say is

Hi Scalextricity

Im off this weekend with my Eternity 600, the weathers not looking good but then again who cares, we will still have fun.

So ok guess its time for a bit of an update on our Airdream...

as i said previously after a cheeky email to vango they offered to lend us an Eternity 600 and front canopy it arrived last thursday and like an excited little boy i booked two nights at 3 rivers Clitheroe for the friday and saturday.

We arrived and i managed to solo pitch the main tent in under ten minutes, just in time as the heavens opened and blimey did it chuck it down.... the canopy took a little longer to put up partly due to the stinging rain and partly getting the positioning right.

the torrential downpour carried on for a good hour or so, but just as the first thoughts of calling the weekend a washout crept into my mind the rain stopped.

sat inside the tent listening to the rain bounce off the flysheet was fantastic ive got to say.... not a single leak, the inside of the flysheet has quite a dry waxy appearence to it and this gave me a good sense of confidence in the tent.

We woke saturday to a nice sunny morning fantastic, had a cracking day out in Skipton and returned to the tent early evening, had a great night sat in the canopy with a couple of beers watching the world go by

Sunday morning and again nice and dry with a little sunshine and a trip to the car boot at clitheroe auction mart.

Packing up was fantasticly quick just unscrew the valves and down it went.... fitted back in the bag quite easilly aswell

All in all a cracking weekend....

going away with the Eternity on friday so will report back on our holiday when we get back with lots of sunny Airbeam photos

Been given the option to buy the tent off Vango, its one they lend out to journalists and use at trade shows, looks in really good condition though so could well be tempted

for now though a couple of photos of the Eternity and canopy just before deflating....

What PSI is everyone pumping there Eternity 600 up to?

The tent instructions says 3 PSI with a max of 4 PSI. However the new updated instructions on the vango site say 7 PSI should be used.

Hi Dean

I started a thread "Airbeam advise" take a look.

Gary

Hi Dean,

Please follow the new updated instructions and pump to 7PSI.

Hope this helps!

Hi

I have just come back and used the eternity, if the pressure valve is not working keep pumping until it starts to get hard to pump, feel the tube and give it a hard squeeze, it should feel pretty hard. How long are you away for, contact your retailer and they will be able to get Vango to send you a new valve within a day or two.
