Hi, thinking about investing in an inflatable tent and have narrowed it down to a few choices. Requirements are: 3 separate sleeping pods, ideally tunnel tent so us adults can be the opposite end to the kids. My shortlist is:
we have the Vango Rivendale 800 xl ,loads of space ,has a fourth bedroom that is away from other 3 so may suit your needs,also got the skyliner to protect the roof and give extra insulation ,not had any problems with condensation yet and first outing was a very warm day followed by a very wet night

Also looking at adding on the side awning, the Berghaus is coming out cheapest but also the smallest.
I've never heard of Airgo so just googled it to find it's exclusive to Go Outdoors and made by Hi Gear.
On reputation alone, out of your list I'd go for either of the first two. It's interesting that the Vango is a regular tunnel shape but the Kampa has a central hub pole configuration Ia bit like the Karsten). However, reviews for the Daymer 6 (same style but now apparently discontinued) state it has to be pitched inner-first (look) and that it takes 2 people to pitch. I thought airbeams were supposed to be an easy-pitch, so this maybe needs more investigating?
The Vango Centara might be easier to pitch but with those small doors and non-opening windows, it might get a bit warm inside (I realise there are end vents, but still it's not going to be easy to get a cross-airflow and especially since there's only one doorway canopy - you'll have to shut the other when it rains).
I think this is quite a lot of money to spend so reckon you need to work out what factors are important for you.
