Vango Warranty & Returns | Camping Australia

At Camping Australia, we’re proud to partner with Vango, a brand renowned for its high-quality camping and caravanning gear. All Vango products are designed and manufactured to the highest standards, and we’re committed to ensuring your satisfaction with a comprehensive warranty and returns process. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about Vango’s warranty, what’s covered, and how to handle returns.

Limited 24-Month Manufacturer Warranty

Vango offers a 2-year warranty on all products (excluding footwear, which carries a 1-year warranty) in accordance with Australian consumer laws. This warranty covers:

• Manufacturing defects
• Faults in materials or workmanship

If you experience issues with your Vango gear, please contact us for support.

What’s Not Covered by the Warranty

To set clear expectations, the Vango warranty does not cover:

• General wear and tear from normal use (e.g., UV degradation, reduced loft in sleeping bags, fabric flaws from extended use)
• Improper use, including overloading, over-tensioning, or forcing zips/buckles
• Cosmetic damage that doesn’t affect functionality (e.g., minor scratches, fabric discoloration)
• Damage due to excessive winds, weather, or accidents
• Modifications or alterations made to the product
• Collateral damage from pole breakages or AirBeam® punctures (treated as fair wear and tear)
• Use by rental companies, outdoor centers, or youth groups (unless otherwise specified)
• Second-hand, demo, ex-display, or refurbished products (e.g., sold via Campingrecycled.co.uk)

Specific Exclusions for Tents/Awnings:

• Water ingress through fabric or seams due to UV degradation or abrasion
• Broken zips, buckles, or seams from improper use
• Condensation caused by lack of ventilation

Specific Exclusions for Sleeping Bags:

• Broken zips or seams from forcing or improper use
• Reduced loft of filling over time

Specific Exclusions for Rucksacks:

• Water ingress through seams (rucksack seams are not taped; use a liner)
• Frame exposure due to dragging on rough ground

⚠ Important Note:
We recommend testing your Vango tent or awning within one year of purchase. Warranty claims beyond this period may not be processed.

How to Make a Warranty Claim
