Hopefully this is the right place for some newbie advise? Have aquired a vango amazon 800. I absolutely adore this tent. It took OH an hour to get me out of it when we practice pitched it!!! He was not a happy bunny. Any how...... My question is simples.... Do I need to ReProofing the tent.
It was second hand but looks resonably cared for. Currently having a panel repair done by TVS as Sasquatch (me) managed to damage it on practice pitch :( but that's a different story!
Should I be ReProofing it or just winging it?
If I should do ReProofing how should it be done (inside or outside) ? Spray or paint on? Recommended product to preserve this amazing tent for as long as I possibly can?
Ps OH was not impressed when I said we could sell the house and live quite comfortably in this tent !!!
As you can garden pitch, I would suggest leaving it pitched in the rain, and see what happens. If it does not, leak, then it won't require re proofing.
------------- Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
Hi I beleive this is a polyester tent, so would have beeen proofed by maker on the inside,
a test as said above it the best way to see. may be the seams will need some treatment but the main fabric should ber ok if not brittle and crackly...
