The Torpedo7 Air Series 500 inflatable tent is the instant solution to your holiday camping.
The Air Series 500 is a comfortable, yet roomy inflatable tent that can be pitched in minutes with minimal fuss. Large enough to comfortably accommodate up to 5 people, this tent features a separate lounge area complete with PVC clear windows to enjoy the view and a large main entry door.
Inflating this tent is quick and easy. No need to assemble any poles or put any pieces together, simply peg it out flat and inflate. Done. Three external valves are pumped up to 7psi each with the included pump complete with purge valve attachment so you have no fear of overinflation.
The internal privacy pod separates the lounge from the sleeping area. This pod room is suspended from the outer shell and constructed from 63D breathable polyester. The Air Series 5 features a removable privacy screen inside the pod giving you the option of 2 separate bedrooms or just one large sleeping space.
Ventilation at the front and rear of the tent opens up to keep air flowing through the tent keeping you cool in hot weather, or alternatively can be closed down to keep the weather out

Please Note: The warranty for Torpedo7 tents does not cover wind damage. This is standard practice for all tents sold within New Zealand and Australia.
Make note this is a fair-weather tent! Being a single skin it doesn't deal with rain and condensation well. The door is the fly so there is no cover for getting in and out in the rain. The lounge area will get wet. We camped in very heavy rain and it pooled on the top then leaked through. If it's on sale at half price, you camp in dry/ calm weather, and you have room for storage/ transport (it's a massive bag) then do it. Otherwise, look for something more robust and waterproof.

Good
Tent is spacious and easy. Bag zip broke 1st time used. Wish bag was bigger. Needs light hook in front area. Inflation fittings on tent are fiddly.

Camping will never be the same
I knew that this tent would be easier to put up than the traditional pole style, but I was blown away when we got it up within 15 minutes. Too easy!! The inner room provides some privacy when needed, but the divider is also removable which was a nice surprise. Is missing a hook for a light in the middle high point, but there are other options on the sides. We were a couple of guy ropes short - we needed two off each of the poles supporting the front door, which meant we had to use some intended for other bits. But size is great, plenty of room for two adults, and a child would also be fine. Never going back!

Great family Tent!
Fantastic, definitely dont need 2 people to erect it can be done easily by yourself within half an hour, maybe a little longer if you are using all your guy ropes. Highly recommend for a quick set up! Also very spacious and durable.

great features
Needs two people to erect. Very quick particularly to deflate.Very spacious tent. Tends to build up condensation particularly when it rains all night.Could do with some internal pockets and more venting at the back when the back window is closed.

Very roomy
was a bit dubious about the blow up tents but took the plunge. Easy to put up even in the wind , just make sure you pump enough air into the tubes. The only problem I have found is that the ground pegs I use (bright yellow thick plastic ones) for sand based ground do not fit thru the metal "D" shaped buckles on the corners. I has to file the pegs to fit. Otherwise For folding up , watch the youtube video on folding air tents. Very helpful. Pity there is not a gauge on the pump to show the psi when pumping up. All is good and enjoy the space.

Massive!
This is the first tent ive been in where it didnt feel like a tent. Standing room has to be seen to be believed. If you leave out the internal room it is massive. I only had 1 issue with the inflation due to a missing part but the team sorted that out pretty quickly. Like with any tent, do a test setup for a whole day and make sure all parts a present and check seams for any seal problems.

Could do with a few tweaks to make it better-though all minor
Totally loved the easy setup of this tent and the pure size of it.
A couple of little things that could be better. Can't fully open rear window to allow a good air flow. the front window covers are a little bit saggy so don't fully close. Also when using the front door with the poles up, you can close it off and have to take dow the poles. We also had one of the little toggles that attached the inside fly missing. But a part from those it's a fabulous tent and we look forward to making lots of family memories in it.

Love this tent
I bought this tent last year after doing quite a bit of research online for inflatable tents, I went into the store to check it out before buying. I was surprised at how strong it looks and feels, you are never going to puncture the inflatable tubes.
We have used the tent twice and we can get it up with guy ropes secured in less than 15 minutes. You do get looks from other campers and they are intrigued by the tent.
The only downside is the sizing/description of the room sizes. We get 2 people in the bigger room and 1 person in the other room, our other 2 children either sleep in the main section or a separate smaller tent. It would be way too cosy if all 5 of us slept in the tent bedrooms.
The lounge area has plenty of room to store all your clothes and camping gear with easy access in and out of the tent without getting lots of water/dew inside the tent in the mornings.

When open first time setup easy. But one guy rope missing from front red flap. And One at the back was short. Other wise OK

So easy to erect!
I was somewhat sceptical of an inflatable tent. However decided to take the plunge & purchase one as my research indicated they are very good. When it arrived my wife & I had it erected & 75% of guy ropes done within 16 minutes - and that was hanging the interior lining piece, which we have left in place when we took down so will expect to take even less time in future. Had slightly more than a gentle breeze when doing so and it was so easy! I was totally surprised at the strength also - once fully up & guy ropes in place you can easily hang a 2-3 Kg light from the roof hook. I am now sold - haven't used in it heavy weather yet, but given it's weather rating would be surprised if there are any issues. So far so good! :-)
