Hell all, we sold out wolf lake 7 3 years ago, since then we've decided to get a new tent, now it looks like things have really moved on since then, so can anyone recommend an air tent 6birth up? Polycotton is great, but I do see the prices shoot up so is there a decent budget PC air tent out there?
Our current favourite is the Sapphire 1000, not PC but I love the price!
Thanks!
Jim

Hi jimbob868,

I think having gone from a polycotton wolf lake, you might find the polyester a bit different from a noise/heat/cool point of view.
Do bear in mind that any polyester tent won't last as long as a well cared for polycotton, so on that note, have you thought about 2nd hand? We currently have a Concorde M (shortly to be replaced by a Vango TC400), and a Harrier XL. We love our Harrier and bought it for an extremely good price at a summer camping show, but I also highly rate Vangos. As well as on here (obviously), it's worth looking at general FB camping equipment selling pages in your area, and owners clubs FB selling pages too.
There are some bargains to be had with people upgrading this time of year.

Out of all the larger inflatable poly cotton tents this year it has to be the Vango Illusion TC 800xl. It has all the features you could wish for and is super strong with the over sized beams. If you can't get to see one pitched you will find a few videos on YouTube

Hi jimbob868,

It's the Concorde I'm selling (and we have buyers lol), not the Harrier XL...love it, just too big as a weekend tent. Hence the purchase of the Vango

Although the shipping costs are like £120 more for the air tent... I'd query that!
