Hi all,

I have been given a Hi gear Cirrus 6 airgo tent that is damaged.One beam needs replacing and one beam has a faulty valve. Can anybody advise me on where I can get replacements?

Many Thanks
Julie

They are only sold at Go Outdoors as they are their own brand tents so you will need to contact them.

Anyone have any other suggestions. Seems Go Out doors don't stock replacement parts for the Cirrus 6 airgo tent!! So glad Ive not been out and purchased one.....knowing this. But it would be such a shame just to throw the tent away.

Thanks

Failing all else you could sell it for parts, there will be plenty of others who can't get spares as well and each beam and valve could be sold separately. Sounds crazy that Go do not do parts, how do they honour warranty repairs without parts, it can't be cost effective for them to replace a whole tent when only a valve is duff.....

Looking at the photo on Go's web site the valve looks similar to an airbed valve. Do you screw the valve into the tube and then inflate and unscrew it to deflate? The valve part has a non-return rubber seal to stop it going down when you're not pumping or remove the pump when inflated (you then screw a cap on the stop any potential leaking).

If this is the case first thing to try is a bog standard airbed valve (they are known as Boston valves and used on dinghies etc also). However, my vango has valves that look identical to standard Boston valves but the thread is slightly different making it not possible to swap them about (crafty or protecting "intellectual property rights" depending on how you look at it).

Try to have a look at some tent displays (harder at this time of year I know) with rival manufacturers "air tents" and see if you can find a ballpark match you could then chase up. Go tents are just usually re-badges of existing tent designs so one of the major manufacturers valves will probably fit.

Not an easy task but good luck.

Oh and if I'm paying £700 odd for a tent that can be easily damaged if you over inflate a beam I'd expect spares to be readily available. If Vango had to replace every tent that had a damaged valve or faulty tube they would be bankrupt.

The main inflation valve looks like the Boston valve, the link valves look the same as the Outwell Smart Air valves. Your tubes can be fixed (tiny puncture) with some Tear-Aid tape. If you need a whole new tube I have no idea.
