Hi, I'm looking to buy a 4-6 berth air tent that I could use for both weekends away and also weeks away. I was thinking of one that has a separate extension or canopy so that we would have a larger space for longer holidays. I have a Kampa Croyde 6 air at the moment which has been great but it's too big to put up and down for 1 or 2 nights only.

Can anyone recommend any good, medium sized air tents with extensions please?

We have an inflatable Dutch storm tent suitable for one to 3 nights, (numerous sizes and colours available) and non-inflatable awnings to add on for longer stays. Various and numerous awning types are available to suit all requirements.

Unlike the modern day inflatables, it offers a proven inflatable system that has pretty much remained unchanged since the early '80's... as there is no room for improvement!
The highest quality materials (100% cotton canvas) and craftsmanship.
A long standing and highly regarded manufacturer, that very rarely change the design, meaning the various awnings etc do not become obsolete after 18 months!

The set up is pretty much built to your bespoke preferences.

Life expectancy of 15 years plus, and 20 year olds can still be seen, used or purchased!
Faded maybe, but certainly still usable and weatherproof.

As it's modular, you don't need to buy the whole shebang in one go.

All comes at a price of course. Had ours over 6 years now, and have never regretted buying it, not even for one solitary second.

Prior to this, we had a beautiful 6 berth tent that was too big for weekends, so added an equally beautiful 4 berth to cover most camping trips.
We now have a set up that suits all camping trips!

If the above sounds tempting, check out "Karsten Tents", and the sole UK retailer "Camping Travel Store". A better buying experience (and aftersales) you cannot wish to have.

Karsten is my dream tent -there are some advertised on here both I think around £2000 ! However, for mere mortals with less money there is a Kampa Brean air 4 birth £200 advertised on this site I have just bought the 3 bith and can't wait to get away with it.
