One huge noticeable timesaver was not having to fix an inner tent via loops and hooks to an external shell. The tent is a single unified component – the bedrooms and living space are pre-attached to the framework so there is no additional connecting or construction needed once you’ve blown up the tent.

Put up in the dark w/out instructions in c.20 mins w/ help from my brother, so simple & such a great tent. Put it down on my own, no problems.The tents are essentially the same (same footprint etc), but the 8.1 has the darker bedrooms. I have therefore linked to the Berghaus Air 8.1 nightfall in this post. Where to buy the Berghaus Air 8 inflatable tent You can often get a great deal (especially if you have a free membership card) from Go Outdoors. This is where we bought our tent and camping equipment from. Recommended tent pressure: between 4psi and 7psi - temperature and outdoor pressure can affect the pressure within the tube. Please note over inflation can cause the tubes to burst I’d also recommend getting a mat for outside the front porch to stop everyone traipsing mud and sand into the tent.

Overall, with a bit of practice and a bit of help, pitching should not take longer than 15-20 minutes. We’re really pleased to have scored Berghaus Air 6 Tent so highly, givimg it 9.8 out of 10, making it well above the average for all 5 – 6 Person Tents. In general, polyester does not have great thermal properties: will be hot inside in the summer, and will be fresh inside on a cooler autumn morning, so despite the air vents you can expect some condensation to build up on the inside wall of the flysheet in colder weather. This is something you’ll have to live with, although this ultra quiet dehumidifier may help a bit, or if you doing it analog, the familiar Unibond absorbers can help you out.

It occurred to me that I should have recorded a stop motion video of us showing how to put up the Berghaus air 8, instead of arsing around and pretending that I had magic powers to summon the inflation on my video (see below)…it’s on my to do list! But basically, it’s very simple. Another example could be the Quechua Air Seconds 6.3, that has a strange 2+2(+2) layout that I didn’t particularly like, but it could work for some people.

This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for.
