So IвЂ™m now on the watch out for nearly new or returns of the tent I liked. The Kampa airbeam tents are great, but tend to be 6 man which is probably a bit too big for us. If IвЂ™m upgrading I want to get improvements here too. Although one IвЂ™m not sure of the front shape as itвЂ™s sloping which isnвЂ™t great for keeping out the rain, and the flysheet waterproofing and denier isnвЂ™t any better than the tent we already have. IвЂ™ve found a couple of alternative possibilities. Up to 32kg was feasible but any heavier and I think IвЂ™d struggle until N is old enough to help me carry it. IвЂ™ve been to Go Outdoors which is our nearest outdoor shop, to try and lift various air tents. So IвЂ™m rethinking and looking at alternative tents.

Not to me! The Vango Edorus was sold out everywhere except at Vango themselves where of course it was on sale for the full price. I found a great package deal, but I dithered and the last one was sold. And only up to 10 kg heavier than our current tent, making it still liftable in and out of the car. But not so long that it wouldnвЂ™t fit on a standard campsite pitch.

I found what would have been a perfect air tent for us вЂ“ wider, longer, same layout (I could have probably still used the extension side porch on it).

And air beams are super speedy to set up вЂ“ maybe 10 minutes faster than the current 20-25 minutes it takes me now (assuming I get the poles in the right order). I love Vango for the easy oversized bags for repacking. TheyвЂ™re still 5 man but are wider and have bigger living areas.
