Product Information

Full details

This Vango Icarus 700 Deluxe Tent Footprint in Grey is designed for campers who want to extend the lifespan and enhance the comfort of their Vango Icarus 700XL tent. Its primary benefit is providing a protective barrier against ground debris, significantly reducing wear and tear on the tent's groundsheet and keeping the interior cleaner. A potential consideration is that it adds an extra item to pack, though its foldable nature mitigates this.

FAQs

What material is the Vango Icarus 700 Deluxe Tent Footprint made from?

It is constructed from 100% PE (Polyethylene), which is known for its durability and washability.

Will this footprint fit other Vango tent models?

This footprint is specifically designed for the Vango Icarus 700XL tent. Compatibility with other models is not guaranteed.

How do I clean the footprint after a camping trip?

You can easily clean it by brushing off loose dirt, wiping it with a damp cloth, or washing it with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Does the footprint help prevent condensation?

No, the footprint's primary function is to protect the tent's groundsheet from ground damage and dirt. It does not directly affect condensation inside the tent.

Can I use this footprint without the tent?

While you could technically use it as a ground cover, it is designed to be used in conjunction with the Vango Icarus 700XL tent for optimal protection and fit.

How much space does the footprint take up when packed?

The footprint can be folded up relatively small, making it convenient for packing and storage.

Is the footprint waterproof?

The PE material offers good water resistance to protect your tent groundsheet from damp ground, but it is not a fully waterproof barrier for standing water.

Troubleshooting

Footprint is not the exact size of the tent floor.

This footprint is designed to be the same size or slightly smaller than the tent floor to ensure it does not collect rainwater. Position the tent so its edges cover the footprint's perimeter.

Footprint seems to collect water after rain.

Ensure the footprint is laid out flat and is not trapping water. Minor pooling can occur, but excessive water might indicate an uneven pitch or that the footprint is larger than the tent floor, which is not typical for this product.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt.

Use a soft brush and a mild detergent with water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before packing away.

Pros and Cons

  • Acts as a visual guide for accurate tent pitching.
  • Made from durable and easy-to-clean polyethylene material.
  • Extends the overall lifespan of the Vango Icarus 700XL tent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This footprint is specifically designed for the Vango Icarus 700XL tent. Ensure you have this specific tent model before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Unfold the footprint and lay it out on the desired pitch location, ensuring it is flat and smooth.
  2. Position your Vango Icarus 700XL tent directly on top of the footprint. The footprint should be the same size or slightly smaller than the tent's base.
  3. Pitch your tent as per its standard instructions, ensuring the tent fabric encloses the edges of the footprint.

Care:

  • After use, brush off any loose dirt or debris.
  • If the footprint is wet or muddy, wipe it down with a damp cloth. For more significant dirt, it can be washed with mild soap and water.
  • Ensure the footprint is completely dry before folding and storing it to prevent mold or mildew.
  • Store in a cool, dry place. The 100% PE construction is hardwearing and easily washable.
