The awning at the front is great for the cooker and provides good cover. Internally the space is great, room to hide from the weather and not trip over each other. There were three of us for that trip, my partner (who had back problems hence I pitched it largely myself) and young son. Having seen this I dropped the front of the inner tent off the loops so it could not touch in the breeze, problem solved. No issues with the watertight state of the tent generally - with one exception - the inner tent and the outer blew about quite a lot and touched leading to there being some water hitting the inner. People next to us very impressed by the sheer speed.īeing August and a festival we got a good pounding by the rain. No issues, peg the corners, pump up the beams and peg it out. It went up first time and no problems (I did try it at the local park as a first test) at the Cropredy festival where I was pretty much putting it up by myself. I am new to airbeams but took the plunge based on great feedback from people I know with one. I have had two chances in the past month (August) to use the tent in anger. Having just got back from a second outing with this tent I feel able to give some comments. All in all I can't wait for our next trip!īy: Andy-badsey Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2015 Rating: So before our next trip I need to work out how to get it fixed. My main problem is that on packing away the cord snapped in the only pole the tent has, now that may have been due to my teenagers enthusiam, but they have taken poles down many times in the past. My favorite bit is the canopy, allowing me somewhere to cook and sit outside with protection from the elements. The mesh door to the front was very useful for our 1st camp in Wales (loads of midges!) The darkened bedroom was very good at keeping the light out in the mornings. It had no problems keeping us dry in the multiple downpours, but it hasn't been tested in the wind yet. I find getting it back into its bag more of a challenge as I can't get rid of all the air, even with the help of my 2 teenage boys. It really is very spacious for the 3 of us. The tent was quick to put up and easy to work out how to inflate, much quicker than our poled icarus version. I always find Vango to be a good manufacturer, so chose this one. I took a leap of faith and bought my first inflatable tent. When you've got a big tent, sometimes it puts you off going away for a weekend (all that faff for just 2 nights), but with an airbeam, it's so quick and easy that weekend camping has become much more straightforward.2 from 2 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Juliebelper Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2017 Rating: Downside is that it's a bit lacking in pockets/storage space compared to other tents we've had, but apart from that, it's great. One of the reasons I liked this model is that the awning at the front is wide enough to sit in if it's raining and also take off shoes etc without getting soaked. We've used it a few times now and it only takes about 20 mins to get the main bit pumped up and pegged out. We were advised to get the XL because there's a bit more head-room and it's great for 2 people. This tent is billed as a 4 berth but as anyone who goes camping knows, the max amount a tent is advertised as, is usually a bit of a squash. Old tent was also 6 berth and too big as our kids don't usually camp with us now. We'd been thinking about getting an airbeam tent for a while because our old tent had heavy metal poles which weighed more than the tent did.
