We love its size, plenty of room means that our family of 5 and guests have adequate room and aren’t falling over each other or all our kit. The tent is also very tall as you see from the picture below, you have a stand-up height almost everywhere. The inner peak height is 206 cm. Very tall tent. Needed a bit of help from my friend's husband to put the porch up properly, but that's because it has the big sheet that goes over the top of the tent, and I couldn't get it over the top by myself. But otherwise it was easy to do. Note that the porch is fully closable, so it looks just like a room, the only difference is that it is with a removable floor. So you can describe this tent also as a 6-room tent. I would suggest that even though the main tent is very large if you have, like us, lots of equipment like chairs, tables, cooker, fridge etc (we like to glamp lol) that you invest in the porch. Buying the porch will free up the living room for the chairs and table when you want to chill at night, playing board games or we watch a film off the laptop if the weather is bad.

Cheapest air tent by far that I found, and the blue is a great colour! Excellent quality and would highly recommend it. After a couple of trips away with this tent, we did decided to add the Air Porch to it. Why? Because we love camping, we do quite a lot of it and intend to do a lot more. We just decided that a little bit more space would make a big difference, and we were right. So, although it looks like a luxurious summer camping tent, I do not see any reason why it couldn’t be used year round in any weather conditions. But its flat roof and air beams are definitely not for snow conditions. Females take not of this if taking the tent on your own you need a little bit of strength to pump up 4 sections.

We did get a bit of wind offering an unusual strange experience. There is no flapping as such like with a poled tent, infact it just kind of bends a bit when the wind catches hold of the air beam. The fabric: The flysheet material is a strong 150D polyester Oxford, and they claim it is with a 6000 mm waterproof rating. This is among the highest you can find. The floor is sewn-in and sealed. The overall size is misleading, because from the side it only looks small, at 3m. It is not until you look at it from a different angle you realise how big it is, at 7.5 m. Regarding the area, it is officially for 8 people. For this you have the inner floored area of 273.4 ft² (25.4 m²), plus 101.2 ft² (9.4 m²) under the porch. So these are simply incredible numbers. You will not find many tents on the market that can match this. It has large windows to let in lots of light if you fold down the curtains. There is lots of headroom.

From parking up, putting down the footprint, pegging down the corners of the Air 8, pumping it up, pegging it down, and pegging the guy ropes. It took approximately 30 minutes in total on my own. The pump of the beams simply took 30 seconds per beam. I put the tent up in high winds. In the living area there is a door at the front with a porch, which has a window and another window next to it. At the rear there is also a door with a window and a window next to it. It was used 5 times in 2016. First time was in April, and stood up well to some very strong winds. With its 6000mm waterproof rating, we have never had any issues with rain. We’ve seen plenty of the wet stuff and stayed cosy and dry. It is generally said that fabrics with a rating of 3000mm can easily handle most British weather, so this one goes above and beyond, especially with its fully taped seams. It’s been wet, we’ve been dry- simple. Ventilation isn’t so much of a problem with a traditional tent, but inflatable tents have been found to be a little more restrictive.Make sure the tent has a suitable air vent to allow generous air flow through the tent, enough for the number of people it's capable of sleeping, especially if camping during the summer.The living area can become rather cosy, but it is not massive to feel lost, or too small to become claustrophobic. We have just bought and tested this weekend the Berghaus Air 8 Inflatable tent and the matching porch. There are several doors around, you can see their position in the floor plan shown above. The door on the porch is double wide, so you have more than 3 meters width there. The inner door under the porch and the two side doors are all with mesh and with solid panels. Solid windows are everywhere and you can see them in the picture below. Fully closable tent with solid windows. Materials It has a hook for a light in the middle of the tent and in each bedroom. The thing I liked was the Velcro to strap in any loose wires from the ceiling so the could safely reach your electrical point. But they have added several vents on the sides so you should have enough cross flow even if you keep the doors closed. Other features
