The Vango Balletto 330 Elements Shield Caravan Awning is a lightweight touring product, perfect for those wanting a versatile product, packed with technical features. The introduction of Single-Point inflation has revolutionalised the Vango collection, offering an easy-to-pitch design, which is perfect for weekends away or short-term holidays. The Balletto 330 features two side doors, and two front doors, and is customisable, as side doors can be removed to add on annexes for additional sleeping space, or storage space. The front doors can be replaced with mesh doors, giving more climate control in warmer conditions. Further to this, there is also an optional carpet, for warmth and comfort underfoot.
Draught Seal System: a secure seal against the side of the caravan, eliminating poles from the process, which can cause damage in poor weather conditions. Instead, the seal system works with tension straps and foam pads, to securely, and snugly fit onto the side of the van, and work around windows also.
Single-Point Inflation: Inflating the Balletto 330 from just one valve, combined with the Turbo pump, makes for a brilliant pitching system. The S.I Pro system also has an intelligent design, ensuring if there is an issue with a leaking valve, only one beam is compromised.
NEW 330cm Width – a popular width, due to the vast amount of caravans the shelter can fit, Vango’s new 330cm width, also has a depth of 250cm, for ample living space.
Bracer Beams throughout the product increase the stability of the caravan awning, and ensure the flysheet is taut, so rainwater cannot sag on the roof panel.
- Optional Extra: MD100 Side Mesh Door set to aid with the airflow on the warmer days.
- Optional Extra: Elements Shield Annex – offers an optional 2-berth zipped annexe, for optional sleeping options.
- Touring Awning: this product is not designed to be left standing all season, on a seasonal pitch. The Balletto Elements Shield is for short-term use, any permanent or all-season pitching of the product would void the warranty and cause UV degradation, which is not covered under the warranty.
| Fabric Denier | 150 Denier (Polyester) DetailsDenier – a measurement used to determine the thickness of the tent flysheet. It relates to the fibre thickness, or thread counts used. The thicker the fabric, generally the stronger, and more durable the fabric will be. The denier really reflects the lifetime to be expected of the tent, and how quickly, it will be affected by UV Degradation. |

| Flysheet Fabric | Element Shield 150-Denier with Colourlok technology DetailsPolyester – a synthetic fibre, made from polymer units to create a textile fabric. Polyester is the most popular fabric for tent manufacturing, as it is durable, reliable and lighter in weight. Polyester does not breathe though, which creates more condensation. Polycotton – a blend of polyester and cotton, primarily cotton (usually around 65% cotton / 35% polyester split). Polycotton is a more natural fabric for camping, as it is breathable, far more durable material, reducing the effects of condensation. Offers greater versatility in hot and cold climates. Ripstop Nylon – a durable material used in tents which is strong and repairable due to its Ripstop properties. |
| Doors | 2 Front / 2 Side Doors |
| Colour | Grey Violet |
| Hydrostatic Head (mm) | 4000 DetailsHydrostatic Head (Tents) – a waterproof rating for technical fabrics measured in mm. The higher the rating the more waterproof the fabric is. A rating of 1500mm is deemed waterproof, but on a tent, look for a rating of 3000 or higher. Measured by the height of water column a fabric weave can take before it begins to “sweat”. “Polycotton” tents will not have a Hydrostatic Head level, as they are not treated for waterproofing. |
