I do I have the hi gear airgo nimbus 8 and I love it it's our first tent and I was draw to it because of the ease of set up. It's perfect for us and with the additional porch there is loads of space super easy to put up and to take down. I can do it by myself which is good going for a ten of this size I also have a bravo air pump which makes life even easier. Hope this helps you

I use a bravo 12 pump and a 12 volt 7.2 amp rechargeable gel battery does the job fine and only small so no need to hook it up to the car as for getting the air out it's fairly simple to do. Make sure the doors to the tent are 3/4 open and all the air valves are open and let it deflate. Start to fold the tent from the backside so going towards the air valves and press the tent down with every fold and always press along the air beams ready for the next fold. Once folded
Just start to tightly roll the tent and keep the pressure on don't rush it. I also find it easier if you put the tent bag over the tent at the end instead of trying to put the tent in the bag. Hope this helps happy camping

To remove all the air from the beams we fold the tent up and before rolling it up we lie down on the tent and body roll from one end to the other to push all the air out, do this twice and then it packs up nice and tight first time.

It gets the air out of the beams and the tent area inside, as said above make you you leave the doors unzipped to allow the air out easily.

We have the Kampa two stage pump, brilliant plus a small lead battery so we don't have to use the car.

We did try to use the hand the pumps.but they became unattached and made our lungs and backs sore lol.

Electric is easy and far quicker, well for us
