For a locally compact Hausdorff space K and a Banach space X we denote by C₀(K,X) the space of X-valued continuous functions on K which vanish at infinity, provided with the supremum norm. Let n be a positive integer, Γ an infinite set with the discrete topology, and X a Banach space having non-trivial cotype. We first prove that if the nth derived set of K is not empty, then the Banach-Mazur distance between C₀(Γ,X) and C₀(K,X) is greater than or equal to 2n + 1. We also show that the Banach-Mazur distance between C₀(ℕ,X) and C([1,ωⁿk],X) is exactly 2n + 1, for any positive integers n and k. These results extend and provide a vector-valued version of some 1970 Cambern theorems, concerning the cases where n = 1 and X is the scalar field.
