We bought the air 6 and the awning last year around Christmas time, at a very good price.
It has been used twice, once for 2 weeks in Cornwall and then for 2 nights at a festival. Both times it was easy to put up and take down and had no problems with the air beams. We had lots and lots of wind, rain and some sun in Cornwall, at no time did I the tent feel like it was suffering and there were no leaks. We are a family of 4 and it was plenty big enough, the awning had all the kitchen stuff, Coolbox, coats shoes etc, which gave the main tent a nice spacious feeling and we often had 4 friends join us to eat and keep young ones entertained. The main down size is the size of the pack, it is much bigger than our old tent and we will probably get a trailer before we head to Cornwall again this summer, that said we wouldn’t be going again if it hadn’t been so easy to use. It is worth keeping an eye on Millets and Ultimate Outdoors as they are Blacks sister companies and there can sometimes be a voucher codes available, we got 15% off an already reduced price. Good luck.

I will use the forums search feature to see if anyone has written any good reviews, or bad. Again though if anyone has any opinions on any of these tents then please comment, thanks.
