VANGO FLUX 500 AIRBEAM TENT WINDOWS
Other features of the tent include, a part mesh inner door, front door with mesh double door, front door can be propped open to form a sun canopy (porch poles not supplied), 'Crystal Clear' windows with inner covers, AirZone ventilation, flysheet first or all-as-one pitching, reflective webbing, handled carry bag. The ventilation system needs to be re-thought to take British weather into account although the fact that such a quick and easy fix could be applied means that it isn't by any means a deal breaker. There's also Vango's own TBS II (Tension Band System) - internal webbing straps to stiffen the structure in the event of windy weather. The overiding impressions of the Vango Lumen V 500 are that it's bright, airy and spacious and is a worthy contender as a family camping tent. It features a fully sewn-in polyester groundsheet throughout and breathable fabric inner tent which also has its own lightweight polyester groundsheet and easy find inner clips.

The flysheet is a high quality, embossed Protex 3000 70D polyester with 3000mm hydrostatic head waterproof protection.

Everything is pre-attached, the AirBeam tubes, groundsheet and flysheet and so there's no preparation or assembly required. Then simply peg out the guys and you are ready to go. Vango AirBeam tents are easy to pitch - simply peg out each corner of the tent in place and then inflate the AirBeam inflatable inner tubes with the Vango AirBeam pump (supplied) and the tent effectively pitches itself. It offers a small family or group plenty of space in the 5-berth inner and is amazingly quick and simple to erect. The Flux 500 is a simple 2 ‘beam’ tunnel tent that is ideal for weekends away, quick breaks or for a spot of touring.

The Vango Flux 500 is the least expensive tent in the Vango AirBeam range that provides stand-up head height. The launch last year of Vango’s innovative AirBeam inflatable tents caused a huge stir in the camping world and their success has prompted the company to expand the range even further.
