I remember when I was a Boy Scout, don't ask me how long ago, we had some inflatable "tents". They were actually ex R.A.F. aero engine covers and had an oval opening each end to fit over the aeroplane. We used to sew a piece of canvas over one end and convert the other end for a door. Unconverted they also used to be used by workman, I use the term workman as workperson did not come into vogue for some years later, when working on underground
services. Bloody heavy though.

as one of the few Australian inflatable boat builders (3mtrs to 18mtrs) they are common place in big tents as Portable hospitals, aircraft hangers, etc, now some are made
well, most are not, most quality inflatable (Air holding) fabric is expensive even if it is for light & small items .One of the problems is most work on high volume low psi & this is effected by temp so pump it up in the middle of the day & at 4am its going to be pretty flat as the volume will drop with the temp. I can,t comment on the one your looking at the site link would not work for me. I have a large inflatable tent that I use at Surf Life saving carnival's but for camping I still use a canvas job.
check what it is made from & that it can be repaired
