Eurohike Genus 800 Air Tent for 8 People with Living Area & Separate Bedrooms, 8 Man, Inflatable Beams, Easy to Pitch, Tunnel, Spacious, Family Camping, Festivals, Weekend Trips, 3000mm HH, Grey

Previous to this, I was using a fiberglass pole 8 person tent from eurohike. After 20+ festivals, its still standing strong, albeit with some replaced poles and duct taped holes. I was skeptical that an inflatable tent could be as easy to fix or as durable, but the convenience seemed too good to not try.Pros:- Actually pretty lightweight, significantly lighter than a lot of the tents this size, and a decent bit lighter than my hard-pole tent of basically the same spec- Super easy to put up, even took only 20 mins on the first try. Taking down was even easier.- Very wind resistant. Took to a festival in a very open field in the midlands and with the beams adequately inflated and the guy ropes out, I wasn't worried about it at all- The beams are actually a super thick material. I was really worried that it'd be very fragile compared to poles but I actually don't see this tearing or popping at all- Groundsheet is attached to the top and main room, so there's no effort connecting everything up, its just inflate and it's ready. The second room is removable by velcro to the groundsheet and pegs to the ceiling so can easily be removed for more space.- Comes with some spare valves, and a lot of patch sheets. I don't know how easy or reliable it is to patch up an inflatable tent, but at least I might not have to buy additional things to do so, at least for a while.Cons:- Would have been nice to have some built in storage in the living area, like some pockets on the rooms- Could be a bit more opaque, the rooms are actually not too private if someone is in the living area, but you can't see anything from outside the tent or from the other living area.- Package is a bit large. This is presumably just an air tent thing rather than an issue with this tent in particular, as its hard to get all the air out of the poles. Would have been nice to have a sealable bag though, rather than what it comes with, which is sort of a thin tarp with some straps that you have to wrap the tent up in.- Living area is quite small compared to my previous tent, but it does make up for this with two huge bedrooms instead of one large one small, so its up to you what you value more. If you're going somewhere really horrible you can barely get four camping chairs inside if using the living area to hold belongings too. You can easily remove the second room though for a lot more space, although bear in mind the bottom of the rooms is also the groundsheet, so if you do this you'll have half the inside be grass, half groundsheet.- The windows to the living area are openable from the outside. Like they have opaque flaps that cover the windows (Which are actually quite nice, clear, crease-proof plastic) that you can only open from the outside. This is not very private and feels particularly stupid.Ultimately, all of the drawbacks I've noticed for this tent are not significant enough for me to not endorse this tent fully. If it was £7-800 I'd have some gripes, but for £250-300 this is a steal and is by far the cheapest tent of its size from a reputable brand I found, especially compared to other air tents. It withstands wind and heavy rain, and saves so much time in setting up that I don't know if I'll be able to go back to hard-pole tents for festivals.If this review doesn't get updated by september 2023, then this tent has made it through four festivals in Britain with no significant complaints, if anything happens to it before then I'd want to come and rant here, so no news is good news

Loses a star because the pump isn’t great! Tube constantly falls off which isn’t ideal because whilst pumping you need one hand to hold on the hole then the other hand has to try and pump whilst also holding the other end in place so it doesn’t twist off. Other than that, happy so far and much easier and quicker than standard tent

Only took ten minutes to put it up and ten minutes to go down. Our friend bought one and while we were trying it out in our garden before a camping trip, we were amazed at how easy it was to set up. Straight onto amazon and purchased it.My sister is also buying one for our next festival.Rooms are of a good size but I think 8 man is a bit optimistic. I would think two adults and one child in each bedroom would be the max. There’s only 4 of us though so it was a perfect size.Love the ‘bag’ that you fold the tent into, so much easier than trying to stuff it into a normal tent bag.

Purchased to go to a festival, we didn't want to spend big money, and wanted something that was low hassle (especially for putting away).* Really light weight - shipping packaging is a bit over kill, but.... once you remove from the Russian doll packaging (tent is in a box, inside a box, inside an outer box)* Easy to put up, providing you give the instructions a passing glance, and don't have 3 people trying to guess at the same time. Pump is a bit of a faff though, as none of the connectors 'lock'. Buy a cheap battery operated pump.* Inflate it properly though - 'that'll do' isn't quite enough, saw a couple of these tents in the camp site, in various stages of deflation. Do it properly and the wind won't be an issue at all-The beams are actually a super thick material. I was really worried that it'd be very fragile compared to poles but I actually don't see this tearing or popping at all* We bought some repair tape, as we were worried about being a bit clumsy, but it comes with repair patches, and the material is really robust - don't see the inflatable beams being damaged that easily.* Tent bag, whilst easy to use, is basically just a sheet with various straps and clips. It'll take some practise to put it away in it's smallest form. But even in a rush - it'll go away, just won't be as small as it could be.* As someone else has mentioned, the windows open from the outside - which is a bit mad.* There was 4 of us sharing this, with a double airbed in each 'room'. This really is the max capacity for this. If there's 8 of you, you are going to have to forgoe the airbeds, and be very friendly.* 'Living space' isnt' very big at all, if the weather had been bad, we'd have struggled for all of us to sit in this space, and you'd certainly not get more than 4, without using the bedrooms.For the money, go for it. Having wandered around the festival site, there's some great other, better options - but they are at best triple the price. We paid £280.00 - at that price it's a steal, and Camel Camel suggests that you can pick them up cheaper when it's not camping season!

1st use of tent recently at a festival. Unfortunately the pump which was supplied with it was either faulty or not the correct one for the item. Did absolutely nothing to inflate our tent. Thankfully, some one came to our rescue with a more suitable air pump which did the job. Due to the issues we had, it did take us near on an hr to get the tent up and safe to say the pump didn’t make it home, it found it’s way to a bin. Overall, the tent was good and served it’s purpose well

I tried everything possible to inflate the poles but they didn’t inflate had to return but got full refund thanks

Absolute brilliant thank you
