Everything here is double, so you have dual entry doors, dual inner doors, and dual PVC windows. The entry doors are exceptionally wide, 190 and 145 centimeters, but they are without mesh; though you have the mesh on the inner doors so the sleeping area is completely safe from insects. The bedrooms are 210cms long and 120cm wide, leaving a 60cm wide sleeping area for everyone. This is sadly not enough to squeeze two normal size double beds inside, but you should be alright with the compact ones like the CampingAZ Compact Inflatable Double Bed. The bedroom divider can be removed if you’d rather have one big bedroom. As a matter of fact, the whole ‘inner tent’ can be removed if you needed more living space during the day.

A bigger uncle, the Vango Odyssey Air 400; or the Odyssey Air 500are for those who need a bit more space for their sleeping area; and for those who want impressive stability and weather resilience. The Odysseys have both: thanks to their inner tension system they can withstand winds up to 70mph. Eurohike Rydal 600 Family Tent is a budget tent, but as you realize from the text above it is loaded with very good features, and its organization of space is very good. The dark bedrooms environment is something extra here and you cannot miss to noticeit. It is tall and you can stand up and walk in every part of it. This is a great tent for family camping, with plenty of space. There is a zippered electric cable port, andthe Velcro tabs are in place to pass the cable to the apex. Lantern hanging points are available in all rooms. I touched on it already, the Rydal 500 offers a decent amount of space for an entire family. Sleeping areaOption 3 could be any repair kit, there are repair kits for various eurohike tents. As you only need the elastic, I guess any repair kit would do. Note that this structure is put up in one go, so you do not set the inner and outer tents separately; the inner is preattached, but it is removable. The setup is really easy with such a design and with the simple poles structure. Poles The Coleman Mosedale 5 is another popular alternative: very similar to the Rydal 500 size-wise, but the fabrics (both flysheet and the groundsheet) are a big improvement compared to the Rydal 500 – again, reflected in the price. Detailed review of the Coleman Mosedale 5 here. The Eurohike Rydal 500 is perfect for couples – plenty of space both in the bedrooms and in the living area; as well as families of up to 5 (with 3 smaller children).

On the other hand, there is a bespoke footprint for the Eurohike Rydal 500. I must be bought separately but it is rather inexpensive so I strongly recommend getting one. (Rydal 500 footprint on GoOutdoors) Eurohike Rydal 500 Carpet You can find a detailed, head-to-head comparison of Eurohike Air 400 vs. Eurohike Genus 400 vs Berghaus Air 4 (and two more entry level small family tents) here: As the Air 400 does not have a 2 nd side door, nor a window on that wall, so the dark blue panel made me feel a wee-bit ‘enclosed’; and the Eurohike Air 400 can feel smaller than it actually is. cms is not a lot, there are 4-person tents that give you a bit more space (up to 75cm for each), but sadly, 60 cm per head is not unusual… You can enter into the tent using the large mesh door at the front, or the smaller door on the side that can folds flat. There is one side-door too. It is very common in this category to have only one side door (the Airgo Air Genus 400 for example does not have a side door at all). If you prefer a quiet corner, without the kids running right across the ‘living room’, then that’s fine; but if you need easy access from all sides than you should consider this! The side door has not got a secondary mesh panel.The Eurohike Rydal 400 Air sleeps 4 sleeps four in a single bedroom but is very practical in offering extra space for couples. The tent is secured to the ground by steel pegs and high visibility (red) guy lines that have a high and a low connection point on the air beams. Doors The Eurohike Rydal 500 is quite lightweight and easy to carry in its carrybag. It weighs only 14.6 kgs, and the carrybag is not bigger than 75cm x 33cm x 33cm, so it fits into the smaller boots too, or you can put it in the roofbox if you’d like to. As you enter the tent, you find approximately 6 sqm living area. It is big enough for two camping chairs and a smaller camping table, while you can still maintain comfortable access to the rooms and have some gear stored as well. In terms of ‘living room size’ it is very decent – some much more expensive 4-person tents have smaller living room (see this post here for more than one example: 4-Person Air Tents (Mid-range)) ; however, the porch area is minimal. You can put the Eurohike Sendero 6 on the list too, it is bigger than the Rydal 500 but not much bigger, and has great specs. Detailed review of the Eurohike Sendero tents here.

The Rydal 600 is a tunnel-type tent designed with 3 rooms that can accommodate up to 6 people. So this is an elongated structure with three arches/poles of different size and the setup is very easy, as typical for tunnel type tents, see the floor plan below. As for other products within the Eurohike Air range ie accessories, replacement parts; there are a few choices. Of course, you can buy air tubes and valves in case something goes wrong, however in case a beam leaks air it most likely can be mended temporarily by using the repair kit that is included with the Air 400. The Eurohike Air 400 features a 4000mm HH flysheet, which should be enough to prevent water leaking in during heavy rains, and should remain waterproof in light snowing too. Other manufacturers would not recommend ‘frequent use’ ie. more than a few weeks across the whole year. UV light of the sun can (will) break down the waterproof coating, so if you pitch the Rydal 500 in your garden in May, it is likely that it will lose some or most of its waterproof coating by the end of summer. Eurohike Rydal 500 Porch The tent is suitable for a 3-season use, in my view it is best suited for a cooler environment. The reason for this is the fact that it is with PVC windows and there is no mesh on the ceiling. Such a structure keeps the warmth well but it can become too warm in a sunny and warm climate.

Eurohike Rydal 500 Review

So let’s have a look at the features and some of the most common issues with the Eurohike Rydal 500 Who is the Eurohike Rydal 500 For? Unusually for this price category, there is a drop and roll point for a flat entry point at the side door, this is handy when you have push chairs or little ones running in and out all day. There isn’t a bespoke carpet for the Rydal 500, but it is compatible with the Eurohike Medium tent carpet– again, not expensive and helps a lot protecting the groundsheet. Eurohike Rydal 500 Pole Repair Kit The poles are fiberglass, so this is not a particularly strong material which needs some care. You have color coding for an easy pitching, and all three poles are of different length. The doors and windows
