Hi, I don't have one of these tents, but originally they came with a large bore yellow pump. If yours is one of these, then it is just bought in by Vango to do the job, and these pumps come with various ends to fit what ever they are being used for. I have an inflatable dinghy that uses the same pump, and the pressure gauge does show the pressure all the time not just when I pump, can't remember how this actually works though. With regard to pressure, and I do also have an inflatable tent, but this does not have a pressure gauge, I pump till the tubes are just hard enough to stay in shape. I have never had any problem with them getting soggy at night, but if they did, I would just add an extra pump or two. I would guestimate from the effort required, when inflating the dinghy, that the tent tubes are no more than three pounds. I always thought that the stated pressure on early Vango tubes, was way over what was required, which was confirmed by all the problems they had. Hope this helps.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
