Our Vango Edoras 500XL had a faulty tube and save having to return the whole tent Vango provided a replacement tube.
As the replacement tube comes flat with corresponding creases down its full length, once you've seated the valve through its opening in the protective sleeve, there is a risk, once the length of the tube has been placed in the protective sleeve, that when inflated the valve will be pulled out of position.
The solution was to partially inflate the tube, seat the valve correctly, and then rotate the tube along its whole length, contra to the way it wants to sit in the sleeve due to it coming flat and with very pronounced folds. Once in the correct position, we than fully inflated the tube, checking that the valve remained in its correct position and there were no other kinks or twists. We then left it for a while so the inner tube could effectively 'work against' the folds it comes out of the factory with, and establish its true shape and position in the sleeve.
I hope this makes sense? Really needs a digram as trying to explain this in words isn't that straightforward.
