So this is a rather closed space, no much mesh around, but there is a vent under the large window, shown above.

There are 3 windows in the sitting room and all are with PVC translucent panels, see the pictures above. I have already pointed out that this is a “lights out” zone, so you can sleep during the day. The two inner doors are partly with mesh, so you have a complete protection from insects in the sleeping area and ventilation should be good enough. The divider in the sleeping zone is toggled, so it provides some minimal privacy when needed but you can roll it away when not in use. Note that the Capri 600 from the same brand is with a sewn-in floor. However, the inner tent (the sleeping area) is completely floored separately, and here you have a bathtub floor, so this is a tent within the tent.

This means you can also remove it when you need to clean it or when you do not want it in the living area. The sitting room is floored, but the floor is not sewn in it is linked it. The latter is without mesh, pity, cannot understand the logic of this. Here, to stress that you have two doors, one on the front and one side door. You have already seen the floor plan and the rooms’ structure. In any case, this is a camping tool for places with a motorized access. The weight and the packed size are such that you can transport it even on a motorbike. The sitting area is a nice space to organize life in the camp. The tent is perfect for groups and for parents with kids. But it will be your excellent camping tool in a cooler and wet area. I have seen some people complaining it is too hot in it they did not do their search properly and did not read about the tent’s features. The tent’s design and structure are such that it is not so great for a warm climate. This is a true 3-season tent designed by a company located in Scotland, so imagine, they know what real rain is. This is a very impressive number again, so the tent will surely protect you from the rain in any weather situation. Seasons-wise, the tent is with a very high waterproof rating of 4000 mm. The large sitting area adds a lot to its livability. So this is a very reasonable number and the tent can indeed easily accommodate 5 people. Here you have the floor area of 160 ft² (14.88 m²), which gives 32 ft² (3 m²) per person.

So, see the floor plan in order to realize if this is enough or not: The dimensions and the floor plan. Sizewise, the declared capacity of the Odyssey Air 500 is 5 people. The latter is with a divider so you can split it into two parts, one for 2 people and the other for 3 people. Tunnel type: You have 3 pre-angled air beam arches that support the tent and this gives it its tunnel profile and a high ceiling in the bigger part of the tent, with 76.8 inches (195 cm) of height.ģ-Room tent: There are two main parts here, see the floor plan below, the sitting area and the sleeping zone. The sitting zone is a single layer structure. Hybrid single-double layer structure: The tent is a double-layer type in the sleeping area where you have the inner tent attached to the outer shell. So when you close the tent completely, the glare is reduced and you can sleep longer in the morning.

This means that you have an external waterproof shell tent, plus an inner smaller cocoon area with a darker material. Lights out design: This is the term Vango uses for their tents with dark rest (or dark room) design.

Note that this tent should not be mixed with yet another from the same brand and with a similar name, the Vango Airbeam Odyssey Air 500 Villa Tent. The tent is not freestanding, so the first thing to do is to stake its corners to the ground. So you have 3 beams and an included pump, and two people can set it up in around 8 – 10 minutes. In fact, Vango was probably the first brand that started building such tents several decades ago. The Odyssey Air 500 is an inflatable tent, with air beams instead of classic poles.
