![]() With the Infinity 400 awning fitted it's a perfect weekend (or longer) family tent. This makes for a really useful weekend rig for the family of 4, which pitches with ease in about 15 minutes and offers a good sized living area.Īll in all if you're looking for a comfortable 4 sleeper for overnighters, festivals etc, you could do a whole lot worse than the Flux 500. OK, there isn't one, but I found that the front awning to the Infinity 400 fits the Flux 500 very nicely indeed and so I picked one of these up for £125 from the Camping & Kite Centre, albeit an older model. Others have complained about the single travel zip on the inner tent door, but we just leave this open at the bottom, so it's easy enough to get out in the night if you need to. The only real downside to this tent is that the ground sheet seems a bit unsubstantial, as a result I'm using a footprint (the one from the Vango Zeal 500 fits nicely), which adds to the pitching time and thereby defeats the object in some respect. I've heard many stories about water ingress with airbeam tents, but I camped out in the recent howler of a bank holiday weekend and despite the often torrential rain suffered no such problem. All of us on 750mm wide air beds and offers a small porch for bags, cool box, shoes, etc. The tent, as I say, sleeps 4 in comfort, I.E. I've now pitched and de-pitched this tent 5 times and find it so easy compared to a pole tent. While not as quick to put up as a popup (find me a popup that sleeps 4 in comfort and that a six footer can stand up in with ease), this tent does go up remarkably quickly (I reckon I could do it in under 5 minutes if pushed). Our tent for longer trips is a Monty 600 but this is a pain to put up for one or two nights. Got one of these for weekends and overnight stopovers etc. Just spent 7 days at The War And Peace show 2014 had no problems even in a electrical storm ( see: you tube : war and peace 2014 strange cloud)No condensation or build up of vapours etc anywhere and cleaned a treat.īest part is I bought the whole package for £100.00 at GO OUTDOORS Milton keynes as a ex display model and they even threw in a new pump as well! ( tip : before you buy anything check out as many web sites as possible find the cheapest and GO OUTDOORS will match it and give you 10% off, result).ġ from 1 people found this review helpful, was it helpful to you?īy: Shastings Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2013 Rating: If you have a photo of this Tent click here to upload itīy: Babylonquest Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2013 Rating:Ībsolutely love this tent, not because it has more than enough headroom/width, massive sleeping area, great compact living area with pockets and spaces for all your trinkets etc, but because it's a dream to put up (8/9 mins) no struggling with poles,3/4 pumps and it's up! and that includes pegging out time.Stick on a front canopy from a Vango 400 infinity and you are away with the fairies.
