We are considering a couple of these for the kids next year to give us a little more room in the folding caravan. Can any one tell me is there enough room for a single air bed in them or would we have to use roll mats. Hope so as I don't think I could convince teenage son to give up comfy bed for a mat 

Thanks

We can get 2 single air beds into a 2 second tent.

OH great I have never actually seen one in the flesh so no idea of size.

Thanks

Really easy to put up - slightly more difficult to pack away, but once you 'get it' its not so hard.  In fact, I was helping a friend pack up another brand pop-up and did it the 'quechua' way and he said that I packed it smaller than when he bought it!

Quechua have great videos on their sites to show you how to pack them up - I downloaded this to my mobile in case I got really stuck lol!  It makes so much more sense than the silly diagrams.  Although, the quechuas do have handy coloured markers on them that make following the diagrams easier.

The Quechua ones come in a wider range of sizes than the Gelert, Vango and cheaper brands pop-ups - if you go for a quechua definitely consider an XL as you have a little porch area at the front for shoes etc.    This is very useful - esp in bad weather!

I think they are a brilliant bit of engineering - but as you see from my profile I own one so I'm bias lol!

Thanks everyone, it would seem that they are very popular with everyone on here and apart from packing away, no negative points at all.

Their web site is very good and having watched the packing away video about 10 times now I feel that I would be able to do it first time!  Famous last words.

Can't wait to get one now.
