Hi all,
I've been a camper for many years and have now decided I would like to buy an air tent but undesided which one really.I really like the layout of the filey 6 air but have been a bit concerned by the reviews about them that say they resemble the local swimming pool inside when it rains.A six berth is preferable as with little kiddies to have plenty of room if it is wet.Can any of you knowlegable people give me any useful info on the matter.I'm a new member so sorry if I rambled on a bit, thanks.

Just remember that the few reviews you see on here knocking it are but a minuscule amount of the amount of tents sold.

I bought one last week, and thoroughly tested it in the garden today with a hose for an hour non stop and have had no problem with leaking.

For us it's defo the best layout of the inflatables at the moment as we absolutely need the little separate extension for storage and a toilet.

Hi
Are you looking for polyester or polycotton? It's got to the time of year where most tents are sold out, in which case it may be as well to see what the 2015 offerings are. Vango have revealed theirs, but Outwell and others are still an unknown at the minute

Im waiting to see what the 2015 tent offerings are from OUTDOOR REVOLUTION. There was a mention on here a while ago that they were entering the tent market..I think they only do caravan awnings at the moment---so I nipped round to the local dealers and gave one of their awnings a good kicking/shaking/poking..and must say I was very impressed with the quality...the salesman wasnt very impressed with me..especially when I told him I had no intention of buying one I am nearing the age where an airtent is very appealing and if this company carries its quality over to the tent range I think they will be well worth consideration.

Tomtom... In the spring as you live in Cambridgeshire you should visit your local camping store... Try and find one that will have a good selection of inflatable tents on show from Vango, Outwell, Kampa and Outdoor Revolution... I'm sure someone on here will be able to point you in the right direction...

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

No he'd have written it backwards 17.

Dance before the storm and don't look back to where you've been.

If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, you obviously haven't grasped the gravity of the situation.

I don't want it I just need it.
