HI JOHN,SORRY TO HEAR YOU HAD SIMILAR TROUBLE WITH AN AIR BEAM ,I WAS ON THE OUTER HEBRIDES IN JULY, GUARANTEED A STRONG WIND, THE WIND WAS MOSTLY SIDE ON , THE TENT COPED OK,ALONG WITH THE RAIN,IN GLENCOE I WAS AT THE POINT OF NEARLY CUTTING AWAY THE SUN CANOPY, AS THE TENT WAS RECENTLY BOUGHT AND UNDER THE STANDARD 2 YEAR GUARANTEE AND EXTENDED WARRANTY,I THOUGHT BETTER NOT.SEEMS LIKE IF YOU HAVE AN AIRBEAM TENT AND HIGH WINDS ARE FORECAST BEST PITCH BY THE LOCAL DIY STORE,VANGO STATED VIA THE SUPPLIER
THE PUMP MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY,HIGHER GUY LINE POINTS AND A BETTER WAY OF STOWING THE SUN CANOPY,SO IT WILL NOT ACT AS AN AIR BRAKE AND COLLAPSE THE BEAMS, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, VERY INFORMATIVE,HATE THIS TO HAPPEN TO A FAMILY JUST STARTING THEIR HOLIDAY.
