Just got a bit of a bargain on Ebay and saved over £300 on the price of a new 2012 Vango Kinetic Airbeam 600, Really wanted the Eternity 600 but will add a Canopy to the Kinetic to give the extra space. (Only 3 of us go but we usually like a third bedroom for storage & changing)

Advice requested - Does anybody know if the optional canopy comes with a sewn in ground sheet and curtains as we would hope to use as a dressing room. We generally camp in the med - has anybody any experience of this (do the tubes deflate/expand in the heat?) Any tips on general useage of these tents greatly received.

We camped at Las Dunas. Spain ;last year and thought the pitches were great. Going to Camping La Yole in Valras Plage this year with another family.Does anyone have any experience of this site and what the pitches are like (size??) as we are hoping for adjoining pitches.

We are changing from a Vango Diablo 900 which was a fantastic tent but after taking over 2 hours to pitch in 32 degree heat in Spain last summer, the Airbeam looks an obvious choice.

Thanks for looking

Phil

at Phil, you're selling it already?

How comes? I'm curious as I'm hoping to buy an inflateable tent this year but a cotton or Polycotton one.

What's wrong with it that you already don't like it?

Maybe it might be something that other folks considering an inflateable might find useful to know too.

People you manage to sell it okies.

Hi, Selling as I am getting a larger Airbeam. I have not even taken the Kinetic out of its bag but saw one erected in Towsure and realised I needed something larger.

The tent is advertised in the free ads section if you are interested.
