Frequently Asked Questions - Hudson 400 Vango

What is the best way to waterproof the Vango Hudson 400 tent?

The tent already has a hydrostatic head of 4000mm on the flysheet. For added protection, apply a waterproofing spray designed for polyester fabrics, focusing on seams and high-wear areas.

How do I properly pack the tent back into its bag?

Fold the tent loosely, ensuring the poles are placed in their bag first. Avoid rolling too tightly; use the compression straps on the bag to secure it.

Can I use the Hudson 400 in snowy conditions?

It is a 3-season tent not designed for heavy snow. While it can handle light dusting, for winter camping consider a 4-season model with stronger poles.

How do I repair a hole in the flysheet?

Use the included repair patches or a tent repair kit. Clean the area, apply patch adhesive, and press firmly for 24 hours for a permanent fix.

Is the Hudson 400 easy to pitch alone?

It is designed for two people for easiest setup, but an experienced camper can pitch it solo. Follow the color-coded poles and instructions.

What is the weight of the Hudson 400?

The packed weight is approximately 12.0 kg, making it suitable for car camping or short hikes.

How many doors does the tent have?

It has two doors: one main entrance and a rear door for easy access and ventilation.

Can I use a stove inside the Hudson 400?

No, cooking inside a tent is dangerous due to carbon monoxide risk and fire hazard. Use a vestibule or outside on a stove mat.

How do I clean and store the tent?

Clean with mild soap and water, rinse well, and air dry completely. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage.

Are spare parts available for the Hudson 400?

Yes, Vango offers replacement poles, groundsheets, and flysheets. Contact authorized dealers or check their website.
