With most tents having a sig these days, and the weather being warmer this time of year, I was wondering how many people use their bedroom pods. I don't bother putting mine in if i am only camping for a night or two, but will use them if camping for a week or more.
What does everyone else do or think of this.

Don`t have a bedroom in my bell tent, although I do pack some mosquito nets that we can hang from the centre pole if needed. I have always used a bedroom pod in my other tents, because we rarely stay for only 1 night.------------- You don`t stop playing `cos you get old, you get old `cos you stop playing!

I see where you are coming from, but to me it's as much about keeping the two spaces separate - living and sleeping. The pod stays clipped into the fly and takes no putting up as such.

I have an inner for the bell tent but really just for cold weather. I'd rather do without it as it doesn't leave much living space in the rest of the tent.------------- Sarah

My bedroom pod is sewn in too, so don't have the choice. But I prefer a separate bedroom pod because if you keep the doors closed all day you keep the insects out, and at least you've got one bug free place to retreat to.

We always use an inner when we both camp in the Cabanon. In the Combi Camp we used the inner, but left the doors tied back - hot weather anyway. When I camped on my own in the Raclet QT with sig I didn't bother with the inner as I wanted to put my bed the other way around, & it was fine.------------- Jean

Go for what you feel happy with. When you think of the small tents, they don't have separate bedrooms - so why should you need one because your tent is bigger.

I put ours up every time even though they can't be left in (they go in a different bag to the main tent)
The main reason is we can leave the fly nets zipped up on them so no mozzies, flies etc get in.
Also it looks tidier, and the base of the pods gives another layer of insulation

Its a yes to bed pods from me have to put the kids somewhere at night------------- Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
