Re. the valves - isn't the Croyde just using normal valves, like last years Vango's?

I thought it was only the new Vango's with the new valve system?

Could be wrong

Thanks

I don't know how I've missed the Croyde Air Classic.. that would be our idea of a perfect PC tent. I'm putting that on the list, oh I hate this decision making malarkey..!


I've been comparing them for a while. The Croyde does have the better layout. It lacks zip up curtains, thicker grounsheet and perhaps the finish of the Vango (and if the Euphoria is like the Eden, it will lovely material) - however the more usable space and it being so much cheaper (about a £1,000 less when you bring in the Vango canopy) is a bit of a deal breaker for the Croyde.

My concern is the price of the Croyde, it is such good value, am wondering where else they have cut costs? Having experienced the Filey 6 deflating on me, I definitely want something with good build quality.

Glad i'm not the only one after a polycotton inflatable and appreciating the chat about them.

If we're going to go polycotton it has to be right first time for us, don't want another episode of the Inspire again.

I see what you mean about the price tho - its a little 'too cheap' almost which normally does make you wonder what corners they have cut.

Are you going to the show at the NEC?

Unfortunately i'm not local enough for that. Am hoping some kind people on here will take some pics/video of the tents on display.

My local camping outlet might have one on display. Although will be ordering from Cross Camping.

In that case I'll see what I can do for you by way of pics and vids :)

Hubby has said that he's happy to make the trip over to Cross Camping - didn't take as much persuasion as I first thought - so we'll definitely be getting whatever we end up with from there!

Hi Joy Family
Kampa are using normal valves like Vango used in 2014. They have done away with single point on their tents (but not their caravan awnings)
Vango have their new airspeed valves.
Outdoor Rev use a valve that looks quite similar to the airspeed valve, but with the added benefit of being self regulating for pressure. It would (in theory) stop the air in the beam expanding and exploding the beam on a hot day.

Some have mentioned to open canopies and the sun canopy on the Eden, don't worry, they are solid in bad weather. Take a look at this video.Inflatable tents on a very windy day.Inflatable tents on a very windy day.

Hi

Good to hear from you. Your Eden should do you fine.

Its mainly the Croyde Air but Euphoria ones would be good too. Would be interesting to hear your views to see how the 2 tents compare - that would be so helpful.

Many thanks
