Berghaus Kepler 9 Nightfall Air Tent 9 Man with Porch, Darkened Bedrooms, Living Area, 9 Man, Inflatable, Easy to Pitch, Tunnel, Large and Spacious, Family Camping, Festivals, 6000mm HH, Grey

I love this tent. 3 very spacious bedrooms and ample living space, my wife and 2 kids all love this tent. Its easy to put up and the dark lined bedrooms mean you can sleep in without the sun waking you up.Pros:Very big and spacious, the bedrooms are plenty big enough for 2 people plus luggage. You could sleep 3 but it would be cosy.Nice and tall I'm 6ft and I can stand up comfortably in the living areasBlackout bedrooms means the kids sleep in longerEasy to assemble, so easy that we often take this in favour of our smaller tentsCons:- The front of the porch doesn't have a door so you have an area of about 1.5m that is covered but has no door. I find this frustrating as a door would give you an extra room and allow you to keep your gear dry overnight, as it is the porch is open so on wet nights your gear needs to be brought inside.Packed up it is big and heavy, I can just about lift it on my own- Its big, so big that some campsites can't accommodate you.- its a beast to carry and given its size you probably need a trailer or very large car

This was a big investment for us. Whilst I do not necessarily have buyers remorse, there are a few things that I regret about this purchase.1. My experience with inflatable tents have been based on tunnels. This is not as straight forward a set up as others.2. The overall shape/design of the tent creates quite a few stress points in strong winds. I didn’t really think that through.3. The blackout pods are excellent. The main body of the tent however allows quite a bit of light through and vice-versa.The tent itself is of a good build quality as you would expect from Berghaus. We were staying in particularly windy conditions on The Isle of Wight and it held up fine in gusts of 35-40mph. One night however the wind speed reached 45-50mph and we ended up with a ladder in the canopy and one of the heat seams came away from a join on the porch (it looks reparable).For the type of family camping we do it’s good. There’s loads of living space and our sleep set up allows for the kid to have her own space away from us. The cost of the tent was a little eye-watering but the more we use it the less that will matter.

Not having read much of the instructions it was easy to put up and the space is exceptional. Can’t wait for more of our camping adventures now.
