#VANGO AIRBEAM TENTS REVIEW MANUAL#
Next blow up the airbeams (easy to inflate with the manual double handled pump included). We used webbing straps, which were thrown over the roof and pegged on the other side. Loosely pegging out the four corners, attach the awning to your camper either with the pre-attached 6mm kador strip (which fits straight onto a rail on your vehicle if you have one), or with webbing straps, velcro tabs or pole and clamps. Expect the first time to take around half an hour, although after practice we easily managed to get this down to 10 minutes. It can also be used with any campervans and even motorhomes.Īfter a few goes, setting up the Idris II is a doddle.

Keeping in mind who the Dometic Stradbroke 4 TC Air is designed for (not for people who like to go lightweight or need a hiking tent), we believe it’s an incredible product. The size of the Stradbroke 4 TC Air is pretty massive, coming in at 2.1m high, 5.4m long and 3.2m wide, meaning it’s not exactly the kind of product you would take with you if you only have room in your caravan, RV, 4×4 or motorhome for smaller tents.īut the bulk is a small price to pay to have an enormous family tent built for the outdoors, with standing room, multiple compartments and heavy duty material to protect you from the elements. Once everything was taut, I went around and gave the tent and its AirFrames a massive shake, and it held up to the violent abuse really well.įinally came the pack down, and working in reverse, the Dometic inflatable tent packed away simply, and much to my surprise actually fit back in the carry bag without too much hassle. Getting all the ropes tied off took a long time, but in normal conditions not every one would need to be put out. The QuickPitch™ system made it pretty quick and easy to get the tent secure using the supplied tent pegs and a mallet, only needing to peg the bottom part tight then using the buckle to apply necessary tension to the rest. Although to be honest, I’d probably throw an additional tarp under it to be safe on rough ground.Īfter I had inspecting the inflatable tent I went around and finished tying down all the guy ropes. On the ground, the floor tarp was thick and waterproof, feeling like it could withstand most terrain. Would the Stradbroke live up the hype?
