Hello, I'm a new poster but long time lurker and camper. We have recently bought a Vango Euphoria 600 and test pitched it last weekend. It's our first experience of an inflatable tent and we couldn't quite get the hang of the valves. A few times after inflating we removed the pump and air whooshed out (the valve was obviously open). Wemanaged it in the end but weren't exactly sure what we had done differently. Again when we deflated it, some of the valves wouldn't stay open so we ended up with air stuck inside when we were doing the final roll.

Any tips would be great!

Also, it got a good weathering with heavy rain one night and as expected there was a little water ingress (not too much) but the curtains were soaked. Is this normal for the windows to be a leaky point?

Many thanks to Paul-and-kate-sot for the pack up pics which meant we got it back in the bag first time (although not without quite some effort-blimey is this tent heavy!)

Hi

Took me a while to get used to the valves. You have to make sure they are in the closed position when inflating. I didn't have any problems with them in the open position - did you use the back of the cap to tuen them?

I have the same wet windows - I think its just condensation - they soon dry though.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

Fantastic, many thanks. I think we were just rushing too much and seeing how quickly it would go up and should have taken more care with the valve cap position. Can't wait to give it another go now.
