The Vango Icarus 700XL Deluxe Family Tent in Green is designed for families and groups needing spacious, comfortable, and weather-resistant accommodation for up to 7 people. Its key benefit is its generous living space and versatile entry points combined with robust waterproofing. A potential caveat is its size, requiring careful site selection and storage.

The flysheet has a waterproof rating of 4000mm hydrostatic head (HH), and the groundsheet has a rating of 10000mm HH.
The tent is designed to accommodate up to 7 people, with a sleeping area that can be divided into two bedrooms.
Yes, the tent features a sewn-in groundsheet, which helps to keep out groundwater and drafts.
While the product description doesn't specify a standing height, larger tunnel tents typically offer generous head height in the central living area, allowing most users to stand comfortably.
The product description does not provide the exact pitched dimensions, but it is a large 7-person tunnel tent with a significant porch area.
The tent comes with an oversized storage bag, designed to make packing away easier. It's recommended to ensure the tent is completely dry before packing.
The flysheet is made from durable polyester, and the inner tent fabric is breathable polyester.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that guy lines are tensioned correctly. Check for any small tears or holes in the flysheet or groundsheet and use appropriate repair patches if found. Confirm that the groundsheet is fully deployed and has not been pierced.
Maximize ventilation by opening mesh panels and vents, especially the AirZone system. Avoid cooking inside the tent. Ensure sleeping bags and clothing are not pressed directly against the tent walls, which can impede airflow.
Ensure the poles are correctly aligned with the pole sleeves. If the fabric is tight, gently work the pole into place. Never force the poles, as this can cause them to snap. Check for any obstructions within the sleeves.
Re-tension all guylines. Adjust the tensioners to ensure they are firm and securely anchored. This is crucial for stability in windy conditions.
Setup:
This tent is designed for a relatively straightforward, one-piece pitching process. Unpack the tent and lay it flat in its intended location. Assemble the PowerFlex fibreglass poles and insert them into the corresponding sleeves. Erect the tent by raising the poles, and then secure the pre-attached guylines. Ensure the groundsheet is taut and all guy lines are tensioned for maximum stability, especially in windy conditions.
Compatibility:
The tent is designed for use on most standard campsites with grass pitches. Ensure your chosen pitch is large enough to accommodate the tent's full footprint, including guylines. It is compatible with standard camping accessories such as sleeping bags, mats, camping furniture, and cooking equipment.
Care:
After use, always dry the tent thoroughly before storing it to prevent mildew and damage. Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners. Store the tent in its oversized storage bag in a cool, dry place. Check poles for any cracks or damage before and after use, and replace any damaged sections.
