Hi all, first time posting.

I'm after some advice on inflatable tents.
Does anyone know when is the best time to buy discounted from this summers range?
Im looking to spend £500-£800.
Ideally 6 man with plenty of inside room.
Will be used for family holidays and really want the ease of an inflatable tent.
Any tips or information would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

From outdoorworlddirect.co.uk they have the Vango Rivendale 500xl airbeam on sale at £719. I bought it this summer from that website, great service and a great package on the tent. The tent it self is excellent, used it in Cornwall for a week. As we were there we had winds at 40mph with lots of rain over night. Woke up with only 2 guy lines loose but I used the pegs that came with it. Neighbors not so lucky there front porch was ripped off.

So it just a case if a 5 man tent is big enough for your need as the 6 man version is £999.00.

Happy shopping.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I cant see the riverdale on the website?
I will keep on looking. The outwell corvette looks good but has had mixed reviews.
Hope you still managed to enjoy cornwall with that weather!

Hello and welcome

The NEC camping show is a good place to start, all the manufacturers have offers on.

Ebay has some 6man tents but read the reviews on here before you buy one.

We have the Kampa Croyde Classic Air and love it, I think as long as you buy a main brand which has good reviews you will be ok.
I'd be wary of 2nd hand ones but there are some new ones on there, but it's best to try and see them in the flesh before you buy, we took months of looking and then went to the NEC (jan or Feb I think)and saw them all and settled on the Croyde as we loved the layout and big windows.

Ive just been to camping world in Horsham, got a really good deal on the outwell corvette 7c. Seems to suite all our needs. Ended up getting lots of gear there too. Now just to go camping! Thanks for advice.
