Wouldn't it be great if you could get black-out / dark bedroom pods. Our SV8 is lovely and light inside but does mean our dear little 3yr old thinks the day starts at 5am. I had an idea that making pods from maybe a nice midnight-blue would cut down the morning light whilst leaving the main body of the tent lovely and light.

Any tent manufacturers reading this, please feel free to nick my idea!

Has anyone ever tried to blackout a bedroom pod? I would be interested to know if and how this can be done. My daughter is now 18mths and on our last camping trip my husband and I slept in shifts as she was up most of the night.

Thanks

5am? Er, yes. On our first camping trip at half term, the birds woke us up with a deafening racket and as it was daylight I foolishly thought ok time to get up. Got the kids up and dressed before looked at clock and it was 5am!!! Won't do that again!

Surely, extra black-out bedroom pods would sell like hot cakes? I'd definitely get one. Khyam - please take note!! In fact, I might email them and ask why they don't do them!

i've often wondered why tent manufacturers haven't thought of this!

Most people are not used to daylight around 5am and would love to be kept in the dark until ready to wake up.

The first tent that comes up with dark bedroom pods will be a sell-out
