TANYING MENG Inflatable Camping Tent Review: A Family Size Blow Up Tent With a Pump
Setting up a big family tent with poles can take a while. This one skips the poles. The TANYING MENG inflatable tent uses air columns that you fill with the included pump. I have not camped in it myself, so this is a buying guide built from the Amazon listing. Everything below is what the seller states.
What it is
It is a large cabin style tent in green, with a tan version also listed. The listing calls it an 8 person, 2 room tent with a curtain and 12 square meters of floor space. That is about 129 square feet.
What comes in the box
The listing includes a hand pump, stakes, guy ropes and a storage bag.
Key features from the listing
Air frame setup. PVC air columns replace traditional poles. The listing says you can pitch it in about 5 minutes.
Waterproof, breathable fabric. The tent uses 300D Oxford fabric with a waterproof treatment and is sold as a four season tent.
Skylight and mesh panels. There is a skylight, plus windows and mesh panels for airflow.
Room to spread out. The listing pitches it as a family basecamp for sleeping, moving around and storing gear.
Size and weight
The listing gives two sets of numbers. The description says 157.48 by 118.11 by 82.68 inches. The product details say 118.11 by 118.11 by 78.74 inches. Because they do not match, check the size on the listing before you buy. The item weight is listed at 48.4 pounds, so plan on carrying it from the car rather than hiking it in.
Who it fits
Families and group weekends where you set up once and stay put. Car camping, not backpacking. Anyone who wants less setup time than a pole tent.
Things to think about
The listing says it fits 8 to 10 people. With 12 square meters of floor, I would read that as a count for sleeping bags packed in tight. Fewer people will be far more comfortable.
Inflatable tents need the air columns to stay sealed. Check the fill and the stakes at setup, especially in wind.
I have not tested this tent, so I cannot speak to how it holds up in weather.
Where to see it
The listing is on Amazon, with the current details and customer reviews.
