TENT AIRBEAM PATCH

This is good because of the condensation issues which are normally more important during the night when you sleep. This implies the following: the living zone is a single-layer area while the sleeping areas are double-layer. The tents from the dark-room type group are a hybrid single layer and double layer.This means that the sleeping area is darker and with reduced glare, so you can sleep longer in the morning and also take a nap during the day. Several of the tents here are so-called dark rest tents or “ lights out” tents.Some of the tents are 2-room structures, some are with 3 and 4 rooms, and believe it or not, you will find some great examples of 5-room tents.One tent is with an extra metal pole, combined with the air beams.

The site is about family camping tents, therefore all the tents here in the list are for 5 people and more.

The most important feature is that these are all air beam tents of course.

It's basically a poled tent, but instead of aluminum poles running through the fabric providing structure, it's a 5 inch diameter tube that you inflate that provides the structure. You'd have to tape it and hope it holds, or replace it. You'd basically be in the same spot if you snapped a pole on your poled tent. You could puncture it, but you'd have to want to. I am not concerned about accidental punctures. They are pretty thick TPU bladders, kind of like a tire inner tube. Since you haven't seen one in person, it is worth mentioning that the poles themselves are not like an inflatable mattress or something flimsy.

Well, in my tent there are three air poles that are not connected together, so if one should fail, you'd for sure have some issues, but it wouldn't be catastrophic, even if, you can patch it with something like tenacious tape, and can usually order replacement poles from the manufacturer (which admittedly could be a problem for me). I was thinking about this yesterday and was curious was the general opinion is. Has no one thought of this? Is there just no interest in it? Even though most of the air tents have to be guyed, they are incredibly stable once setup, and they setup fast! US users, would you use this type of tent, or UK users who have used a tent like this, am I just being a fanboy? In the end, I bought a NEMO Aurora for to replace my 15 year old, aging, and leaking Eureka Pinnacle Pass, and looking over the new features new tents have, I still don't see any manufacturers in the US using air poles like in those UK tents. With the recent REI sale, I was looked at the current crop of tents to see what is new. It is perfect for the wife and I to do car camping. In the end I found an outfitter in the Netherlands who sold and mailed me a Kampa Brean Air 3. I was more than impressed by the quality and tech they have in tents made by companies like Vango, Kampa, and Outwell. Hey all! Listen, I like UL gear as much as the next, but last year I was looking for a new large family / car camping tent for comfort (and getting the wife out camping more), I was looking at ones like the REI Kingdom, and the Big Agnes Bunk House, etc, then I fell down a rabbit hole on YouTube when I learned about the style of tunnel tents that they have in the UK.
