Product Description

The Vango Airbeam Pump is a manual hand pump designed for inflating airbeam tents, awnings, airbeds, and camping furniture to the correct pressure. Weighing 0.95kg and measuring 59cm tall, it's built with an alloy shaft for durability and features a built-in PSI pressure gauge to monitor inflation levels. The pump comes with multiple nozzle adaptors, making it compatible with Vango's AirSpeed valve system and standard Boston valves found on most airbeds and inflatables.

Airbeam tents and awnings require inflation to a specific PSI (typically 7-10 PSI depending on the model) to maintain structural integrity and prevent beam collapse or over-inflation damage. The built-in pressure gauge on this pump lets you monitor pressure whilst inflating, which is particularly important for poly-cotton airbeam tents that need precise inflation levels. Manual pumps also work anywhere without needing batteries or mains power, making them reliable for campsites without electric hookups.

This single-action pump operates on the downstroke, pushing air into your inflatable with each pump movement. The tall 59cm design provides a longer stroke length, which means fewer pumps are needed compared to shorter models. At 9.5cm wide and 22.5cm long, it stores compactly in your camping kit alongside your tent or awning. The included multiple nozzles mean you'll have the right fitting for Vango airbeam products as well as standard camping inflatables.

The alloy shaft construction provides strength without adding excessive weight, and the built-in pressure gauge eliminates guesswork when inflating airbeams to the manufacturer's recommended PSI. For caravanners and campers who prefer not to rely on 12V electric pumps or rechargeable battery options, this manual pump offers a dependable solution that's ready to use whenever you need it.

Vango Airbeam Pump Features

Single Action Inflation : Inflates on the downstroke only, providing efficient pressure build-up for airbeam tents and awnings that require higher PSI levels.
Built-in PSI Pressure Gauge : Monitors inflation pressure in real-time, preventing over-inflation damage and ensuring airbeams reach the manufacturer's recommended PSI.
Alloy Shaft Construction : Provides maximum strength and durability whilst keeping the pump lightweight for camping trips.
Multiple Nozzle Adaptors : Includes various nozzles for compatibility with Vango AirSpeed valves, standard Boston valves, and other inflatable fittings.
Tall Design : The 59cm height provides a longer stroke length, reducing the number of pumps needed to achieve full inflation.
No Power Required : Manual operation means it works anywhere without batteries, mains electricity, or vehicle connection.
Compact Storage : Slim profile at 9.5cm wide fits easily into camping kit alongside tents and awnings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What PSI should I inflate my Vango airbeam tent to?

Most Vango airbeam tents and awnings require inflation to 7-8 PSI, though you should always check your specific model's manual for the exact recommended pressure. The built-in pressure gauge on the Vango Airbeam Pump allows you to monitor PSI levels whilst pumping. Inflating to the correct pressure ensures your tent remains sturdy and reliable, whilst also maintaining the structural integrity of the airbeams for optimal performance.

Does the Vango Airbeam Pump work with non-Vango tents?

Yes, the Vango Airbeam Pump comes with multiple nozzle adaptors that fit Vango's AirSpeed valve system as well as standard Boston valves found on most airbeds, inflatable furniture, and other brands' airbeam tents and awnings. This makes it a versatile pump for all your camping inflatables, giving you flexibility across different products and brands.

How long does it take to inflate an airbeam tent with a manual pump?

Inflation time depends on the size of your tent or awning, but most small to medium airbeam tents take 5-10 minutes with a manual pump like the Vango Airbeam. The 59cm tall design provides a longer stroke length, reducing the number of pumps needed compared to shorter manual pumps. Whilst electric pumps are faster, manual pumps offer excellent reliability without needing batteries or mains power, and they're lighter and more compact for storage.

Is single-action or double-action better for inflating airbeam tents?

Single-action pumps like the Vango Airbeam Pump inflate only on the downstroke, making them ideal for achieving the higher PSI levels required by airbeam tents and awnings (typically 7-8 PSI). Double-action pumps inflate on both up and downstrokes, providing faster volume inflation for low-pressure items like airbeds and paddleboards, but they're less efficient at reaching the higher pressures needed for structural airbeams.

Why does my airbeam tent lose pressure overnight?

Airbeam tents often experience a small amount of pressure change overnight due to temperature variations. As temperatures drop at night, the air inside the beams contracts, which can reduce pressure slightly. This is perfectly normal and why having a pump with a built-in pressure gauge is useful for quick top-ups in the morning. Poly-cotton tents in particular may need slight pressure adjustment after initial pitching as the fabric settles and absorbs moisture from the air.
