If you wanted to save some time, it may be worth considering an electric pump: I can recommend this by Kampa – just set the psi and watch the airbeam inflate.

With it’s fast pitch time, excellent living area and light pack size, the Genus 400 is a breeze to erect and it might just see you getting away camping more often than ever.

I can work for 6 (or less people), so if you have never intended to use the Air Genus 800 as an 8-berth tent, than the Eurohike Air 600 may be an alternative. Inflating the Air Genus 800 by the hand pump that comes in the 70 x 40cm pack takes no more than 5 minutes.

We found that the inside of the tent was light enough to happily sit around in the living/porch space. The Eurohike Genus 800 Air Tent is an ideal choice for large groups and families who want an inexpensive. Berghaus have brought their internationally renowned technical know and applied it to producing inflatable tents.

Please leave a comment if you have any questions, or would like to share your views on the Airgo Air Genus 800! The Airgo Air Genus 800 is probably the most popular inflatable tent (air tent) right now, along with its smaller sibling the Air Genus 400.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Others would say that these are only smaller issues that are easy to live with, or not issues at all. Now the bad stuff…not that bad but it may help explain why I think that the Air Genus 800 (and 400) are not for hard-core campers. The entire pitching, including laying out the footprint, inflating, securing the pegs, installing the rooms, rolling down the groundsheet does not take more than 20 minutes; and 1 person can do it. Lastly, insects will easily find their way in, so it is essential to get a decent bug zapper, insect repellent lamp or other means of keeping the bugs out.
