The space inside is great – we fitted two large double blow-up mattresses in the bedroom area, and in the living space had enough room for our kitchen set up, chairs to sit and a dog bed! We stayed for a week down in Dorset over Half Term last month and didn’t need to re-inflate the poles once. However, apart from this initial snag, I’ve been hugely impressed with the tent. Therefore I would definitely recommend picking up some stronger pegs if the weather forecast is anything apart from calm and sunny (which lets face it, it pretty much always is in the UK!).
We have now used this tent on a couple of occasions, the first of which was during a ridiculous snow storm in the Peak District – whilst we did manage to pitch it, the tent blew away after inflating as the pegs weren’t strong enough to hold it into the ground (before the guy ropes were pegged down too). A few pumps with a bicycle-style track pump and your tent pops into view! I felt pretty smug sitting there with a cup of tea fifteen minutes after arriving at our campsite, whilst everyone else faffed about with poles and tent liners… Still, they can sometimes take a bit of fiddling about and a while to put up, no matter how experienced a camper you might be.Įnter the Decathlon (Quechua) Air Seconds 4.1 XL, a tent that offers you super quick assembly and disassembly thanks to its three inflatable arches. From tiny two-mans to massive beasts that sleep a whole football team (well, maybe not) we have a tent for every occasion. As camping fans, James and I have a few tents between us – maybe not as many as the number of bikes we own – but still a pretty comprehensive collection.
