 Hello all, just wondered if anyone knows whether a coleman comfort double airbed does fit into our gelert lokon vario 5?

We havent bought the bed yet but are considering it ...

We have measured it and it is suppossed to leave a gap of 3cm but does anyone know whether it does or not? Just wondered if anyone had the same bed and tent...?

It would be helpful before we do buy it and find out we have to ram it in and sleep against the tent bedroom wall...lol

its for the smaller bedroom compartment of the lokon vario 5 ,the kids are in the bigger bit...

thanks in advance for any help and advice,,,

happy camping!!

Hi debbie ,

thankyou for your advice, i am bit more confident now,,just wanted to get an idea of how it will fit...will order one this week ,,can't wait to camp,, 21 more sleeps lol!

just gotta pray for some sun amongst the showers!

we are off to devon, ,,cofton country holidays,,,,,,,,not been there before,this being our 2nd camping trip,,,went to cornwall last yr,,mevagissey,,,cant remember where it was......fancied devon,,done lots of cornwall before....

Hi Pillsley,

thanks for replying, thats fab and just what i wanted to hear!! Got a kingsize for the bigger room (for 3 kids) so now gonna get double for us,,,

just got to sort out hubby's snoring lol

Hi Kirsty , I only really go local because i camp without my husband mainly and as i don't drive, he drops me and 9 yr old son and maybe the grandkids off and picks us up again after. My sisters and their families come with us too.

I'm off to bank farm gower on friday for a week at least. Then I may go up to riverside in Morriston swansea,(its only about 15 mins from home) for another week. I'll be at one or other site every weekend through the school hols hopefully.

There always seems to be lots of people from cardiff at riverside, I met a lovely lady shylos from on here, up there last time I went.   She goes there often with a big group of friends and family , and just wondered if you were one of  them.

so don't know of anywhere up brecon way. but have you tried the campsite seach section, you just put the area in and it shows all the sites in the area with reviews from members who have been there.

hey, you'll have to get him used to doing weekenders, what a waste of a tent if you don't get away as often as possible. Its much easier if you're not going far from home  and just as much fun.

Hi debbie, thanks for ur reply, no i am not one of the lady's group.

Defo got to get other half into weekend camps,,, like u say only local and will be easier...

I think if we really made an effort we would enjoy weekends away in the tent,,,

i have a couple of places recommended from chatting to neighbours who have camped in brecon....................

can't wait to play in my tent,,,i love it lol
