FAQs

Can the Equinox 300 be used in winter?

While highly durable, it is designed for 3-season use; it is best suited for spring, summer, and autumn conditions rather than heavy snow loading.

How do I repair a bent pole?

Do not attempt to straighten the pole as it may weaken the alloy. Contact Vango support for a replacement pole section of the same diameter and specification.

Is the groundsheet integrated?

Yes, it features a durable 6000mm bathtub-style groundsheet that is attached to the inner tent for complete protection.

Does it come with a footprint?

The tent includes the flysheet, inner, and poles; a footprint protector is generally sold separately to extend the life of your groundsheet.

What is the best way to clean the flysheet?

Use lukewarm water and a soft sponge. Avoid detergents, which can strip the waterproof coating. Air dry thoroughly before storage.

Troubleshooting

Visible condensation inside the tent

Ensure all mesh ventilation panels are open and the tent is properly tensioned to maintain distance between the flysheet and inner tent.

Difficulty pitching in high wind

Ensure the rear of the tent is anchored first and facing into the wind, then secure the TBS II system immediately after inserting the poles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior wind resistance due to tunnel profile
  • Excellent waterproof ratings for flysheet and groundsheet
  • Lightweight yet durable alloy pole construction
  • Large porch area for gear storage
  • Quick and straightforward pitching process

Cons

  • Tunnel design requires precise pegging for stability
  • Smaller footprint may feel tight for taller users
  • Requires proper orientation relative to wind direction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Pitching the Equinox 300 is efficient thanks to the integrated pole sleeve system. To set up, slide the alloy poles through the flat sleeves, peg out the rear of the tent, and then pull the front forward to tension the structure. Always ensure the TBS II bands are connected to provide immediate lateral stability. For maintenance, never pack the tent away while it is damp; if you must pack it wet, ensure it is unrolled and dried at home within 24 hours to prevent mildew. Periodically wipe down poles with a damp cloth to remove grit, which can cause corrosion or damage the pole sleeves. Store the tent in its fast-pack bag in a cool, dry place.
