I have just bought a berghaus air 6 tent and tried to put it up with my friend today. However, everytime when we unplugged the pump, the air just came back out. It wouldn't stay in! There's a tool for the valves but we were unsure how to use it. Please help!

I'm not sure what valve the Berghaus use as it millets own brand (part of the same group) so either post a picture of the valve for me or talk to millets as this is where you will of bought it unless it was second hand.

Thanks. Yes I've bought it from millets. Unfortunately I don't know how to upload a photo of the valve for you to have a look Cross Camping.
Yes thanks for the video link Opensauce. I watched it yesterday but still couldn't work out how the air stayed in since we did nothing different from them. I just wonder if our valves are in the open position.

Have the valves got a push button in the middle
When pushed it might operate a spring loaded stopped simalar to what Outdoor Revolution use on their valves

Yes the valve has a little push button in the middle. I believe when you push it, that will let the air out. However, when we finished inflating the beam and unplugged the pump, the air just came blasting out from the valve.
Ok
Press the button before you start inflating
The pressing of the button activates a non return valve
If it's been pressed once it may be in the open position so it will need pressing again to put it into the closed/inflation setting
Once inflated and the air doesn't come out you then need to press the button to release the air
But remember to press it again next time you inflate the tent

Glad to have helped
If they're the same valve as the OR they're very good

Mucker
We still own a tent
A little pop up just so we can say we're tenters lol
I still think our camping ethos is the same and I still stay upto date with the new tents thanks to Gary
And will still be keeping an eye on karstens and still be attending the show at Gary's gaff

Did you ever manage to get this sorted Connor. I've just recieved the exact same tent...and guess what....the exact same issue. Instructions are absolutely dreadful..and I'm a qualified engineer.
