  • I don't sell any of these nor do I receive any remuneration if you buy them, and I have not personally reviewed all of them, they are listed here to give you perspective
  • prices subject to change

Introduction

  • inflatable air tents have strong plastic tubing which are inflated to form a strong frame for the tent and thus no metal poles are needed (except for awnings)
  • whilst they are generally relatively easy to set up (albeit with a bit of pumping being required), they are often quite heavy
  • generally perform well in strong winds - no poles to break
  • these generally have a replaceable Boston one way valve for inflation/deflation - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYQQKuWkXlg
  • they may POP and be destroyed if over-inflated and left in the hot sun or used with a wood stove (pressure rises in proportion to temperature if volume can't increase PV=nRT for every temperature rise of 30degC, pressure will increase by ~10%)
    • whilst the splits in air beams can often be temporarily repaired, they tend to still leak, and a split may mean throwing the whole tent out if replacement air beams are not possible
    • tip: buy one with a pressure relief valve or reduce air pressure during day time in hot sun
  • TPU air beams are MUCH better than PVC air beams
    • less off-gasing and vinyl chloride exposure
    • performs better in cold weather (PVC becomes more vulnerable to damage)
  • strongly consider buying a double action hand pump (pumps air when push down and when pull up) - see also air pumps for camping
  • they can unexpectedly slowly deflate overnight if they develop a slow leak, you didn't tighten the Boston valve fully, or worse, a puncture
  • older campers with arthritic hands may have issues with connecting the pumps and tightening the caps - as well as weight issues - aim for one well under 20kg
  • they are generally bulky, heavy and expensive but much less bulky or heavy compared to an Oztent
  • the Korean online retailers may not deliver to Australia

Air tents with floors

Rise Outdoor AirNest 3+

  • catenary arch shaped tunnel style single wall tent with an embedded inflatable 1psi R3.8 mattress 1.7m wide x 1.88m long
  • can squeeze in 2 adults and 2 young kids
  • 420D rip-stop Dacron floor
  • 3000mmWH 50D silpoly fabric
  • airbeams protected by 210D dacron polyester and inflate to 4psi
  • black No-See-Um mesh at rear and in vestibule
  • may not be good for hot humid weather as only has minimal meshed windows - one at each end of the tunnel if you zip on the vestibule and seems you would need to close rear end in rain and leave the vestibule window open to prevent condensation - rain hitting this will fall onto the floorless vestibule ground
  • in windy conditions, having the more aerodynamic vestibule door facing the wind could be problematic when you open the door and the tent becomes a parachute, so you presumably would be best having it set up side onto the wind and ensure your guy ropes are really well pegged out
  • 1.7m high entrance door; 1.9m wide tunnel x 1.9m long plus door overhang plus front vestibule;
  • can float on water;
  • 10.5kg
