Designed for Privacy with Shared Living Space

The Vango Tacoma 400 Tent stands out thanks to its vis-a-vis layout, placing the two bedrooms at opposite ends of the tent. This creates a comfortable buffer zone in the centre, ideal for couples sharing a pitch, families with teenagers, or anyone who appreciates their own quiet place at night.

The central living space feels open and welcoming, helped by large Diamond Clear windows and ventilation throughout. It’s a tent built for longer stays but great for weekend breaks, where having separate sleeping areas and a proper communal space makes everyday campsite living feel more relaxed and organised.

Canvas & Weather Protection

The Tacoma 400 is built using Dynamic Weave 100 fabric, designed to deliver impressive strength without unnecessary bulk. The cross-hatch construction reinforces the material, making it durable enough for repeated seasonal use while still remaining manageable to transport and pitch.

With a 4,000mm hydrostatic head rating, it offers excellent waterproof protection during sustained UK rain. Fully taped seams prevent leaks at stress points, while ColourLok Eco technology enhances UV resistance and helps the fabric retain its colour over time.

• Dynamic Weave 100™ Fabric – Strong cross-hatch construction with balanced weight

• 4,000mm Hydrostatic Head – High-level waterproof protection

• ColourLok Eco Technology – Improved UV resistance and colour retention

• Fully Taped Seams – Extra defence against water ingress

This combination provides reassurance when the weather turns, allowing you to enjoy your trip without constantly checking the forecast.

Frame, Pitching & Stability

The Vango Tacoma 400 Tent uses a traditional poled structure that feels solid and secure once fully pitched. PowerFlex® fibreglass poles provide dependable strength while retaining flexibility to cope with gusty conditions.

Pitching is made simpler with colour-coded webbing points and oversized corner pegs, helping guide you through the setup process. Once erected, the TBSII Tension Band System adds extra bracing in stronger winds, reinforcing the structure when it matters most.

• PowerFlex® Fibreglass Poles – Lightweight yet strong

• Pre-Angled Poles – Improved headroom and structural stability

• Oversized Corner Pegs – Clearer, quicker pitching

• TBSII Tension Band System – Enhanced wind resistance

• High-Visibility Guylines – Easy to spot at dusk

The result is a reassuringly stable tent that performs well across a variety of campsite conditions.

Living Area & Daytime Comfort

At the heart of the Vango Tacoma 400 Tent is a central living area designed for proper campsite use. Whether you’re dining together, escaping a shower or relaxing with a book, it provides a comfortable shared space without intruding on the bedrooms.

The large Diamond Clear window allows natural light to pour in during the day, giving the interior a bright and airy feel. When evening arrives, toggled curtains can be rolled up to create a cosy, private atmosphere.

• Spacious Central Living Area – Ideal for dining and relaxing

• Diamond Clear Window – Bright, clear views outside

• Toggled Privacy Curtains – Flexible light control

• Mesh Living Room Doors – Ventilation with insect protection

• Vango AirZone Ventilation – Improved airflow and reduced condensation

AirZone panels and mesh doors help maintain fresh airflow, particularly welcome during warmer summer trips.

Bedrooms & Sleeping Comfort

The Tacoma 400 excels when it comes to sleep quality. Its vis-a-vis design places two Midnight King Size bedrooms at opposite ends of the tent, maximising privacy between occupants.

Each bedroom offers a generous 70cm sleeping width per person, allowing everyone to stretch out comfortably. The Midnight fabric of the bedrooms reduce early morning light penetration, helping you rest longer on bright summer mornings.

• Vis-a-Vis Bedroom Layout – Greater separation and privacy

• Midnight King Size Bedrooms – Darkened fabric for better sleep

• 70cm Sleeping Width Per Person – More room to spread out

• Clear Access Bedrooms – Easy entry without stepping over groundsheet

• Bedroom Storage Pockets – Practical organisation

This layout is particularly appealing for mixed groups or families with older children who appreciate their own space.

Groundsheet

A fully sewn-in waterproof PE groundsheet creates a sealed interior, helping to block any draughts, insects and moisture from below. It contributes significantly to the tent’s comfort, particularly during cooler evenings.

Practical additions such as cable entry points and the SkyTrack II system allow you to personalise the interior with lighting or storage. The drop-down door step also improves accessibility, making entry easier for prams or wheelchairs.

• Fully Sewn-In Groundsheet – Enclosed, bug-free environment

• Waterproof PE Groundsheet – Durable and protective

• SkyTrack II System – Flexible hanging and storage options

• Cable Entry Point with Tidies – Safe electrical access

• Drop-Down Door Step – Improved accessibility

These details make day-to-day use simpler and more comfortable over extended stays.
