Mumsnet Talk

after looking around and ruling out most tents as to tricky ti put up on my own from a wheelchair ,Sadly including the bell tent

Am looking at these has anyone got one or thoughts on them

I have a vango infinity 400. Its very good for that aspect, I can put it up by myself and its incredibly easy and really is v quick to put up and put away. There have been some problems with those tents with leakiness and airtubes bursting but the recommendations now have changed about pegging them out after inflation to get them nice and stretched out and also to inflate the airbeams to 3psi instead of 5. We are going to buy a front extension for ours this year to get a bit more room. They are extremely clever, and so easy to put up. I am a right thickie at stuff like that, not very practically minded, and even I can do it We have used ours about 5 times and have not had any problems with leakiness since we started using the new guidelines. Good luck with your tent buying, I did see your other thread about it and meant to post about the airbeam but forgot......

thank you

Am wnating the bigger one as 400 bit ti small but nice to hear that you not had any problems putting it up

Good luck with your selection. Difficult isnt it. There's never the perfect tent!!! I spend far too much time searching for it.......

yep im going round in circles and even camping shops are your intending to camp alone with dc and no adult while staring at the wheelchair

Yes I am if i can find a tent arghhhhhhhh

There is a big camping and caravanning show in feb at the excel. I think vango are exhibiting, might be worth a look there to see how you think you would fare. There are some you tube videoas as well of them going up, have you seen those? How old are your kids? My DD is 5 and she can pump it up herself.... We leave ours with the bedroom all attached inside when you pack it away. It's bout as easy as it gets. I think a mumsnet favourite is a Quechua pop up also? Have you looked at that?

oo wil google teh show that may be ideal thank you , yes i looked at the quencha but they ar enot big enough inside to enable me to move around
