In 2021, Vango released their new, and revolutionary Airbeam technology, which allows their Airbeam tents or awnings, to be inflated from one point on the tent or awning. Traditionally, Vango's Air design system has always worked on "stand-alone" Airbeam technology, but 2021, the 10 year anniversary of Airbeam, sees the new system come into play on selected Vango tents and Vango awnings.
Are Single Point Inflation Tents New?
Those experienced campers, will know single point inflation is nothing new, it has been in the market since Air tents were first designed in the early 2000's. However, the new design of Single Point Inflation makes a huge difference, because of the method the single-inflation pro technology works. With traditional single point air tubes, if you are unfortunate to encounter a leak, the entire tent will begin to deflate, and you will need to reinflate it, and then cut off each tube to work out where the leaking tube is.
How is S.I Pro Different?
- You can still independently inflate each beam if you want too.
- (Automatic Isolation of Beams) S.I pro is a one-way air system, which means a deflating beam, will not influence and deflate the other beams, and that one beam will deflate, and not the entire tent as with other systems. (Design protected by European Patents)
- Hassle-free set up - You do not need to cut the beams off individually like you would on a competitor system.
- Hassle-free set down - Delation Valve remains on every beam, making packing away much easier than forcing air from one tube.
- Parallel Inflation - the air goes into one beam, and then goes into several beams, allowing the tent to inflate at the same time for each tube.
How to Use S.I Pro?
It's easy!
- Unpack your tent or awning.
- Connect to van / motorhome if application.
- Peg loosely
- Use Vango Phantom Pump or Turbo Pump to inflate your tent from the S.I Pro valve (photo below). Make sure all other beams are locked and closed, so the air does not escape.
