I can't say as I don't own one, but their are a lot of utube videos on people that actually use them. The only thing I really know is they are heavy, are hard to put back in the bag. But many utubers swear by them especially the brand Zempire.

Anything that has to have compressed air eventually seems to have leaking problems ....... in my experience.
Wonder how these nifty tents are going after a couple of years.
Probably great for many people , but personally have no experience ......... just some reservations.
Cheers

Well said Jim S1, I think it will eventually be that single sharp twig, that unseen beer bottle cap, or that tiny sliver of broken stubby. Am sticking with the old style.

Don't know.
Have only ever seen new ones, never an old &
well used one.

Geometry Dash Lite, Inflatable tents are very convenient, as soon as you finish using them, you can fold them up for future use. However, over the years, the tent will leak air, so you can no longer use it. Please consider this.

We have an annex that attaches to our Kombi that uses the inflatable tubes and we have had it for 7 years. We are careful with it and it has given us no problems. It uses the same fittings and tech as inflatable boats eg “boston valves” etc. It was chosen because of space in the kombi ie no room for poles etc. It is lighter than the same size annex with poles etc. I would not bother with a small tent or similar as the material quality at the smaller scale would likely be less and there isn’t any real benefit over reliable and light poles.
