Description
Type: Tunnel tent Model: Iris 500 / Isis 500
Brand: Vango Main Colour: Green


Lightly used Vango ISIS 500 (now IRIS 500) five-man family tent; lovely condition, cleaned and ready for a new home. All pictures are from the 'cleaning' photoshoot in our back garden.   This three-pole Vango tent is easy to put up and comes bundled with some extras, including the Vango steel king pole set for holding the tent door open (pictured in use) and an extra set of 10 excellent rock pegs. Of the 22 original pitons, 19 are in good condition and three still usable, with three bonus v-shaped pegs alongside the rock pegs, which will leave you some spare when you put the tent up.   The tent has all the features you'd expect of a modern Vango tent, including zip access for a power cable, good ventilation, bedroom separator, loads of internal pockets and more. Full Vango description follows.   
We have used it on four camping trips, all of which were fairly dry and none of which lasted more than three days, so the tent has had very little use since we bought it new in 2014. All the poles are in great, undamaged condition and there is very little evidence of wear anywhere on the tent.   Any questions, let me know. Collection from Basingstoke or couriered via Parcelforce 48   ***   Back for 2015, the favourite Iris V 500 is a five person tunnel tent that is ideal for weekend and short break family camping. As part of the Vango Exclusive collection, the Iris is available in a vibrant herbal green colour way and features Vango’s Vista front windows. The Iris is designed to be simple and quick to pitch and Vango's patented Tension Band System (TBS II®) can be used for increased stability in high winds. Additional features include zipped privacy curtains for flexibility, cable entry point and living area storage to name but a few. The Iris is ideal for family campers or friends who desire a well engineered tent combined with great value for money.   Pack Size: 70x25x30cm. Weight: 15kg. Flysheet and inner pitch together making it simple and quick to pitch and pack. The Vango patented TBS ®II – Tension Band System ensures that your tent performs in adverse conditions, especially strong, changeable winds. In calm conditions the system can be disconnected if desired. When tensioned, the bands brace the pole and prevent sideways movement. The buckles should be adjusted so that slack is removed, but not over tensioned, as this may deform the poles. The ProTex 70 Denier polyester flysheet is a highly waterproof, durable and reliable fabric that will keep you dry and comfortable, and it's exclusive to Vango.
