Hi, I am buying a new tent and I love the layout of Kampa's inflatable Filey 5 with its large living area and half enclosed porch but can't afford a grand for an inflatable tent! Does anyone know of a tent with the same sort of layout? I need one which is easy to put up/down as we are using it for a big tour of central Europe this year. There will be two of us, and we need a covered door as I hate water dripping in when the door is opened, and a porch for cooking in, plus a sewn in groundsheet. Any ideas?

Thanks Gary, really helpful advice. Am liking the Outwell over the Kampa purely due to reviews on here. Definitely thinking this would be a good buy for us. Might even consider selling my cosenza as well as my diablo and replace both! (Getting fed up with putting up inners first!)

Hi
Personally I wouldnt discount Kampa purely on Outwell reviews as they really are excellent value for money tents and the quality is just a fraction behind Outwell but then you are not paying Outwell prices. Check out the reviews of the Kampa Croydes which would give you a covered door, SIG, built in front canopy and with the ability to close off the canopy with the additional front vestibule.

-------------
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

I was told that the Kampa tents are actually made in the same factory as the Outwellsn (not sure if that is true).

I've had an Outwell and now own a Kampa and the quality is identical (design of the Kampa Filey 6 is fantastic!).
