Berghaus Air 8 Inflatable Tunnel Design 8 Person Family Tent, Blue, One Size

Product Information

The blue colour with yellow stripes takes some getting used to, but after a while it becomes likable. Would definitely recommend. It's less than half price of the similar Airgo Nimbus 8 (which is +15kg heavier). The 70D sheets are good quality and my preference would be for it to be more lightweight. The tent pumped up like a dream (once we figured out how to set the valves) however you do need a bit of strength to pump each section fully. It starts off easy but then it gets a little harder to pump the fuller it gets.

The quality of the tent is very good and bedroom pods are nicely laid out at either side of the tent, with a communal area in the middle. When choosing the right inflatable tent for you, you have similar considerations to that of buying a pole tent: how many people it sleeps, whether you can stand up inside, and whether it has mosquito netting, for example. Cheapest air tent by far that I found, and the blue is a great colour! Excellent quality and would highly recommend it.I already mentioned the three large doors with their full-size zippered mesh. In particular the door under the porch is important because you can keep it with mesh all the time, it is fully protected. The inner doors are also with mesh sections. The living area can become rather cosy, but it is not massive to feel lost, or too small to become claustrophobic. I also ended up getting the air porch - also inflatable - and Millets did me a great deal on that as well.

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. It is completely enclosed with its solid windows, so it can be used even in a cold environment. Its air beams can never brake and it will perform well in windy conditions.Absolutely love the tent. With both bedrooms up there isn't that much living space, but we only used one, so we had plenty of space, plus the porch was used for the table and all our cooking stuff, so that gave us a lot more room. The inner tents are with different sizes, one has a removable divider, and one is completely separated in the living room are, see below how it looks. There is a hanging rail inside so you can use it for storage or as a bedroom. But you can also remove it. Observe the color of its fabric. Clip-in bedroom. One of my friends had a Vango inflatable tent and raved about it, so I did a bit of research to see if I could find a cheaper one, that was also blue (don't like green tents! Plus, a blue one stands out more as most people tend to have the green ones) and finally found what I was looking for in the Berghaus Air 8. Recently spent a few weeks researching air tents. I wanted a roomy tent as I have 3 young kids - 6,4 and 2. However, the wife isn't very keen on camping so also wanted something I could erect myself.

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. I researched load and loads of tents as I couldn't decide which one to buy for my family (me, my wife and 3 kids).The tent and porch each comes with a pump. We got a carpet for the main tent but not the porch as we agreed the porch was going to be the main entrance for muddy shoes, cooking and eating (with two messy kids its easier to wipe a ground sheet than it is to wash a tent carpet)

Because the living room is fully sealed, if necessary, this tent can easily accommodate 12 people in its floored area, and you still have the porch with its linked-in floor. Because of all these numbers, I have included it in my list of extra large family camping tents.

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. Regarding the weight, this tent is very heavy with its 114.4 lb (51.9 kg). But see its enormous size and you will realize that this weight is justified. 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. 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.
