Hello all,
I am considering buying an inflatable tent as I am a single mum so I`m looking for something that is easy to pitch for a single adult for either a weekend or week away. I've been looking at 4 berths as I have a 7yo and I want to either go camping with her alone, or perhaps take one of her friends with me. As a novice, I'm completely overwhelmed by the reviews! I want something with the option of two separate sleeping compartments and a good enough living area to cook in and shelter if its rainy.
I'm on a budget and have seen a few god quality second hand ones that look like they may serve the purpose (Berghaus Air 4/ Hi Gear Airgo Stratus 400). Im wondering if anyone has any experience and tips or recommendations they can give me please?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome to the forum. I have used an Airgo Stratus 4 for a few years now mainly for weekends for 2 of us and I can recommend this tent without hesitation.Never had a problem and it has been stable in some windy conditions. It is easily put up by one person but expect half an hour and not the 7 minutes or so it tells you about!! The living area is big enough for 3 of you to sit around and play games or eat meals--but I would not recommend cooking inside this area(personal choice but I think its dangerous)..perhaps add a small tarp and windbreak to make an outside cooking area? It would also stop influx of rain through the sloping front door if it overlapped the tent.The tent will be a handful to get back inside the bag if by yourself as the tubes take a while to dump all of the air..not impossible though. Have you looked at small bell-tents? They would work for you. Let us know which way you go

Hi. In case you're interested, I am selling a brand new polycotton air tent, which sounds perfect for you - and has a canopy at the front to cook under if needed.

https://www.eurekaeurope.com/mount-yale-btc-rs.html

Has the benefits of air and not being too big to put up on your own - plus the advantages of polycotton. I bought it for weekend camps (particularly liked how the front completely opens up if needed) but we are after a quick sell to get something bigger. Might be above your budget though at £350. Please ignore if it is.

Thanks

We have an Airgo Solus for just the 2 of us, enough room using it as one large sleeping area.
We have gone electric for cooking to minimize risk of fire and CO poisoning.
