Keith, I really try to answer all the questions as possible. Trying to show, share and teach people about all the camping and glamping possibilities, especially tents. The air tube tents have been the rage in Europe for the last 5-10 years because Europeans will camp for 2-4 weeks, when Americans only camp for 1-2 days. We welcome to the channel thirsty learners who want to have longer and better outdoor experiences with their family and friends. We get a few odd/strange comments about "this isn't camping" but we think those people just don't take the time to read that this is "not a basic, primitive, or technical camping channel - its about luxury air tent family glamping. Please subscribe, share, like and ask questions - thx.

Yes I agree camping is about enjoying the comfort of being outdoors. We started with a smaller tent and sleeping on the cold hard ground. Leveled up and got a bigger tent, air mattress, electricity onsite for plugins, then people were saying that’s glamping lol. But I say why not be comfortable while we are out camping and enjoying ourselves 🤷🏿‍♀️ 😊

You're a perfect example of getting started in camping and then adding more things or changing your camping into glamping. Thx for watching the channel and please share. Let us know what other things you would like to learn about camping or glamping.

[@RopeDad1]

In highschool I had a smaller tent “2 person” - when we went shopping for camping gear we bought a 10 person ozark trail tent for 100$, two chairs with coolers, cot with air matteress, loads of lights and string lights, and a bunch of extras… some people have already joked about us glamping but whatever. Both of us and both of our pets are as happy as can be when we show up to the lake

@@intentsglamping what does a tent like this cost?

[@intentsglamping]

@@spencerhasty200 Spencer that tent is roughly in the $700-$800 range before vestibule. The vestibule that is either mesh is about $175 and Clear windows is about $200. I highly recommend full ground sheet and carpeting for about $150. Those are pricing estimates as it depends on what model year you buy (this is a 2019 I believe) and who you buy it from. I reviewed and shopped several hundred 4 person berth tents before buying this one. Kampa is one of the top manufacturers in the world.

We live in Texas, and are State Park Pass holders. We have a big family and enjoy tent glamping. But Texas heat makes sleeping at night in a tent almost impossible for us. I have a window unit for each tent we own. I use a heavy duty reflective tarp on top of the each tent and then place the rain fly on top of that. I usually try to get a campsite under some trees for some added shade as well. But those reflective tarps work great. Keep heat out and keep the cold air in. At night you will need an extra blanket to stay warm. And that's with Texas night heat.

[@intentsglamping]

Sounds like great glamping! What are your favorite Texas State Parks? Let me know what other ideas about glamping you want to see - our websites is intentsglampingusa.com and I'm working to share ideas and where to get the best glamping stuff. Thx

Last year I set up a screened 6 person tent with velcro privacy closures and used a 5,000 btu air conditioner at the corner of the entry door (splits down the middle with a zipper) to keep it cool. Also ran a household fan to circulate the air inside the tent. Worked well even into the 90’s, kept my clothing and sleeping bag dry and made for some enjoyable camping. Going to do the same this year too.

[@intentsglamping]

@@AquaTech225 After five years of buying and using inflatable luxury tents, I have to say the longest running models - with minor changes - are the Kampa's. They've offered the Brean style for 8-10 years and in inflatable for the last 5ish. There have been some minor modifications since Dometic bought Kampa and I think they are trying to make the Kampa line a less expensive inflatable model and their Dometic tents high end. I would make sure to buy from a tent company that is really committed to inflatable tents and their models - outwell, kampa, vango and a few others.

[@sandracimonetti5307]

I used a 5000 btu window air conditioner in a 8 man Cabela tent 10 years ago at Myrtle Beach in July. I set it on a plastic crate at the back door. It worked great.

[@intentsglamping]

Sandra, thanks for sharing. I have a brand new 5000BTU window unit that I bought last year but then the temp went down. I will be testing and video taping that later on this year. Part of the trick with AC'ing a tent is the ability to seal it up. Most american tents have too much mesh or they don't seal or you still have to use a rain fly. The tents I show don't need rain flys and you have windows to see out which makes them great for glamping. Thx

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

Sorry for the length of this post... It started out to be just a quick reply, but then I quickly evolved into something more... Hopefully, it will be of help to others who might consider trying to choose an air-conditioner for a tent... I have one of the Ozark Trail cheap tents from Wal-Mart. I bought it a few (19) years ago before I flew my plane to the EAA airshow at Oshkosh. It worked well enough with a queen size air mattress for 1 person. It is supposedly a *4* person tent, but they would have to be REALLY good friends (i.e. maybe 1 guy plus 3 slim girls). Of course, I had no electricity at Oshkosh since I did not have the payload / room in my plane to put my generator in it. I have not used the tent since because my wife has no desire to give up her air-conditioning since we live in the Gulf Coast region of Texas (high humidity and high temperatures even at night). As I was searching around my garage for something yesterday, I stumbled across the tent in its bag sitting on the back of a shelf. The handles of the bag disintegrated as soon as I touched them and the fabric of the bag had burst at the seams in a couple of places, so I figured the tent was probably also trash and should throw it away. I removed the tent from the bag and noticed that the fabric still seemed good, so I decided to set it up to give it a closer examination and to see if all the parts were still there (no instruction sheet on how to set it up though). Since I happened to have a "portable" air-conditioner unit sitting around this I had bought for use with my generator during hurricanes when the power goes out, I decided to see what it would do inside this 8x8 tent. Of course, having the tent inside the house is not quite the same as having it outside, but I figured that it would at least show me what sort of temperature differential it could attain. One of the problems with that type of "portable" air-conditioner unit is that it a really poor design for an air-conditioner if it just has a single exhaust hose and no intake hose. With a single exhaust hose, it uses the air from inside the cooled space to cool the compressor, which is then exhausted outside the space via the exhaust hose. This creates a negative pressure area in the cooled space, so it will try to equalize the pressure by replenishing the air via whatever air leaks you might have in your cooled space (e.g. tent). As such, it is sucking in the warm outside air into the tent via any mesh panels or zippers that the tent might have. With a double hose unit, it uses the outside air via the intake hose to cool the compressor and exhausts the heated air via the exhaust hose. As such, it is not affecting the pressure inside the space, so no warm air gets sucked into the space. You still might have air leakage, but it's not a forced air leakage like happens when the single house unit is basically pumping warm outside air into the space. On my first test of the "portable" air-conditioner in the tent, I just used the tent as it was manufactured, including the rain fly (although I did allow the rain fly to just lay over the top of the tent to restrict the airflow somewhat). It did not take long to get an 8F temperature drop in the tent (compared to the temperature of the room in which the tent was set up), but it never went below that. I figured that it had reached an equilibrium with the amount of air that was getting sucked into the tent or just seeping out through the mesh panels and that was the best it was going to do, so I decided to make the tent a bit more airtight. I took an unused white canvas painter's tarp that I had bought from Harbor Freight awhile back for use in backdrops for passport and visa photos and Zoom video conferences and draped it over the tent. The canvas tarp completely went from side to side over the top, but not so from front to back, so there was still some area that was not covered. I got inside the tent and turned on the air-conditioner. It did not take very long before I noticed the floor of the tent starting to bulge up and not too long after that, the walls started shrinking inwards quite a bit. Basically, I was shrink wrapping myself inside the tent. This proved quite graphically that this type of air-conditioner unit does most definitely cause air to be drawn in from the outside to make up for the air that it has already cooled and is then used to cool the compressor. As such, I would highly recommend that anyone considering putting an air-conditioner in a tent to use one of the double hose units or (even better) one of the window mount units with an appropriate modification to your tent to allow for the unit to be outside the tent or if the tent already has an air-conditioning port for a window mount unit. Oh, and by the way, the "portable" units are called "portable" because they have some small wheels mounted on the bottom. These wheels are good for moving the unit from room to room in a house if you have very flat and smooth surface, but for camping (or even moving it across a driveway), you would probably either end up carrying it or using a hand truck (bigger wheels). As such, a window unit is just as portable.

[@intentsglamping]

GOM, thanks for your thoughts and comments. I agree with a lot of things you stated. A couple of things. First I discuss in the video the ventilation that I keep above the door at in the back as you do need some air flow. I agree on the double hose and the efficiency, however I couldn't find a quality (key word) AC unit that was cost effective. I know this one is about $400 but it is a high BTU 14K AND heater 10K BTU. Although this test far exceed my wildest expectations for keeping it cool - it also dramatically reduced the humidity and made the air really crisp - nothing like sleeping in crisp cool fresh air. I will be doing another video using an affordable ($150) window unit in a three person tent in the next month or so (we are just about at 100 degrees consistently) to show peolpe how to do this. Also, I hate (really hate) rain flys - they shroud, suffocate and you can't see out. I will not do anything to block our windows except use the curtains inside for privacy. Thx for your comments - please subscribe, share and send more questions.

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

@@intentsglamping -- I'm in the Gulf Coast region of Texas, so we don't really need heaters... I'm more likely to have the air-conditioning running in my house during the "winter" than I am the furnace... Our houses have the smallest available furnace in them and it puts out about 10 times the BTUs that we might actually need in a winter... The "portable" unit like you have might be rated at 14K BTUs (mine is 13K BTUs), but I have to wonder how much of that is wasted by using the cooled air to cool the compressor and then replacing it with the hot air from outside. I have not done extensive testing on comparing the portable unit vs the window unit, but my gut feeling so far is that the 6K window unit cools as well, if not better than, the 13K "portable" single hose unit. Personally, I don't have any desire to look outside the tent. I just use the tent as a place to sleep, so I have no problem with the rain flies and in fact wish that they would block more light so I could sleep later in the morning if I so desired. I was thinking about using my tent for a trip to Sturgis for the bike rally this year after I discovered how much the actual hotels are charging for their rooms during the events ($400+ for a room that normally goes for maybe $70)... One of the residents in Sturgis is renting spaces in their yard for the people who want to tent camp and they say that you can run an extension cord to have electricity for your tent site (and they don't have a problem with you running an air-conditioner in your tent). So, when I stumbled across the tent in my garage yesterday while searching for something else, I decided to give it a try to see how well it would work. I'm surprised that it is still in good shape after having sat around for 19 years.

Please share, like and leaver more comments or questions and help us teach more campers about how to transform their camping. Did you get the "Air" version and where did you purchase the tent?

[@tiffanikeyes4269]

We did not go with the air. The pole version was cheaper and was “easier on our budget”. We are now looking at ordering the Brean 3 to take to Yellowstone.

[@intentsglamping]

@@tiffanikeyes4269 Yes the "pole versions" can be 40-50% cheaper than the "air" equivalent and that is mostly from economies of scale of production and materials costs being a little higher. Over time those numbers will even out as air tents continue to sell faster than pole versions. Regarding the Kampa Brean 3, there have been slight variation changes between the '19 '20 and '21 so make sure to look at the schematics and even chat/talk with whoever you buy your tent from. There are some nice packages for the '19 and '20. And those years you can still get the pole or air extension which is really really nice. I'm not seeing the extension on the '21 as Dometic has bought Kampa. Also, if you ever wanted a Technical Cotton (the most expensive material) you can still buy a '20 Air TC with Extension - a big budget but an amazing tent in 3 or 4 person for 10-20 years. Let us know what you got! Great glamping!

[@tiffanikeyes4269]

Thank you for all that great information!! Do you have a particular company in the UK you prefer? One other question. How do people stay in these tents WITHOUT an AC? There is not a whole lot of ventilation.

[@intentsglamping]

@@tiffanikeyes4269 in Texas most people don't camp between the Memorial and Labor Day as it is just too hot. And a lot of mesh is not the answer as our REI Kingdome Six is half mesh on the front but you have to keep the rain fly on it because it can rain any time especially a stray thundershower in the middle of the night. I think that is why this video has hundreds of thousands of views and more viewers keep coming. One thing we do is use a "cannon" fan from Ryobi with their lithium ion battery packs. It's a huge fan 18" and runs for about 14 hours on their big batteries (we either bring several batteries or recharge) and the fan also runs on electricity - here's the link - amzn.to/3wnNXAp. We use the Ryobi platform for lights, fans, chain saws, and inverters, etc for camping/glamping. Regarding buying tents, we used to have a link to Camping World UK but they are changing their affiliate program right now. We buy most of our tents from them or outdoorxl.com. They both have different deals and have inventory from different models/years. Make sure to look closely as Kampa has changed the design of the Brean 3 which affects the ventilation. One last hack - put your fan next to the mesh pushing the air out - that will pull fresh air in.

Many years ago I made an enclosure around the front of a window A/C unit that I had 10' outside the tent connected to the tent with 2 lengths of flex duct. It was much quieter being away from the tent and it did a good job of cooling the tent but because of it having to run almost continuously it seriously dried out the air in the tent to the point where your throat and mouth were uncomfortably dry. I scrapped the idea for that tent but tried it later in a canvas tent with a canvas drop cloth over it and it worked much better much more comfortable.

[@intentsglamping]

Sam, great to hear your idea. I had this AC unit in my garage for the hot summers where I have my golf simulator and HD giant screen so I thought I would try it. I will have a video out shortly about using a window unit and how well it worked. The one problem with having an ac unit away from your tent is keeping it dry or away from the elements.

Great video and info, I purchased the Otter insulated Monster Lodge, it's an ice fishing tent has 8 windows about 9'x14' a door at each end, I use the Midea U 8,000 BTU AC unit, works great! to run this I built a rather large solar generator using 4 Battleborn 100 Amp Hr lithium ion phosphate batteries, Victron charge controller, a 3,000 to 6,000 surge pure sine wave inverter with 4 Sunpower 170 watt panels.

[@intentsglamping]

Mike, - darn that's way above my pay grade. Plus I have people freak out by simply cooling (or heating) my tents! 🙂 Actually I have a Midea 5K btu window unit that I had cooling a tent last year and will work to get a video out soon. I like the solar gen system you put together and using the lithium batteries. I have the Ryobi 4 brick 6ah 40V power station that produces about 3k watts, but I have to use a generator, car, or hookup. The power station is great for at 10pm when you have to turn engines off in parks to let it run things for several hours. Thx for your input and ideas. also, watch the other vids and provide feedback.

We typically buy our inflatables from two places in the UK - outdoorxl.com and campingworlduk.com. Its been several years since we bought this one and have bought so many that I'm not sure where this one came from but it was one of those two. Sometimes you can buy inflatables directly from the manufacturer. And covid changed who was selling what and how. Make sure to get copies of the new Camping Glamping and Bushcraft 101 book and the Camping Planner as they have all 5 starts on Amazon reviews. Here is the link amzn.to/3OZOcwF There is a lot of information on many different inflatables in the book that you should know about.

Do you need any sort of adapter for the electric hook up, or do you just plug it in? Sorry, first time camper. Trying to figure out all we need.

[@intentsglamping]

Kimberly, this was made in a Texas state park using the RV site connection. Check with your park to find out what they offer. Texas has 50AMP and 30 AMP hookups and then two 120 Volt outlets. So I didn't need a converter but just ran an extension cord (you can see it in the video) into the tent. To make this work you will need a tent you can close up. Most american tents have too much mesh to close up. That is why we recommend air/inflatable tents from Europe. Our website intentsglampingusa.com shows a lot more details. Hope that helps.

Great vid! Just 1 thing, sunlight carries heat and is the enemy of air conditioning. Put a tarp off the side of your beautiful setup to block most or all of the direct sunlight from going through you nice windows, unless you can somehow double glaze the clear part of the window. Regards, Jas. vk4fjgs Rockhampton Queensland Australia

[@intentsglamping]

Jas S yes that's a smart idea! The air tube tent in this video and others all have curtains you can tab or zip up and that really blocks the sun. For the ultimate our "Tent Mahal" see the video to see the large tent has a reversible cover. One side is black to absorb heat for the winter and the other side is shiny metalic to deflect the heat! That is InTents Glamping. In this video once the temp got down to 68 (with almost no humidity in the tent) it was almost too cold. The AC unit removed the humidity and it was not only cold but crisp like a wonderful winter day - but you could still hear all the bull frogs, crickets, birds and night sounds that you don't during winter camping.

JK, in most cases we glamp in state parks with the water and electricity sites. I assume you could use a generator if your off the grid. The AC units do pull a lot of amps so I make sure the camp site has 30-40. I then run an electric cord into the tent and we use it for the AC, lighting, and in the kitchen for ceramic stove and coffee pot. Remember this is glamping not technical camping.

David, I own Technical Cotton tents. And have used them in the summer and winter. The breathability and the temperature difference between TC and taffeta (poly) is negligible. It might be f-10 degrees. What is interesting is that tents with TC are usually high end tents which means you can pick up many more features.

@@nhcharmedone the key is the tent. Almost all tents sold in the US have too much mesh windows, walls or doors. Our expensive REI just under a $1000 would not work for this. You must have a tent that you can seal up, however some of the Colemans you can seal up but then you get the "cocoon" or claustrophobic feeling - that's not intents glamping. I recommend tents from the UK that have windows, zones and super high grade materials. Every tent you see in all of my videos are air tube tents that can accommodate an AC OR A heater and you can then control the temperature AND the humidity in the tent. What I don't measure in this video is the humidity - there is almost none which makes the internal temp so much better and night sleeping amazing. Enjoy - please share and post more questions.

[@nhcharmedone]

@@intentsglamping Thank you!

[@passivelybored6067]

You can buy winter tents or an A frame canvas tent so their more insulated with less mesh

[@intentsglamping]

PB - great idea. Let me know if you can find a winter/a frame tent with the features of the air tents coming out of Europe. My wife and friends will not camp in tents that don't have windows, zones, inner tents, etc any more. :-)

[@tymom9313]

I might have to go camping in the mountains?. Higher elevation, where it cools off at night.

[@intentsglamping]

Yes, if you can do that. The problem is the mountains are about 8-10 hours away from us so that is not an option for a weekend.

[@sangmoon2464]

Have you experimented using a solar panel & battery as the power source for those times when you have to camp away from a plugin power source?

[@intentsglamping]

Sang, I have looked at them, watched a lot of videos and read the specs. I have found the Jackery's and the Yeti's to be large, expensive and don't hold much power. In addition, depending on the size and money you put into panels (can be expensive) it can take a lot of hours 8-18 to fully power a large battery unit. What do you do if you don't have sunshine for a few days? I think those power sources are great for electronics and small items that don't need a lot of power. As time goes by and technology improves those will really improve in power some day. Make sure to watch my latest video on generators - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWiamWOnjtaKbLM - this is serious power, for a long time 14 hrs on a tank of propane, and clean power - propane. Btw, I do run the Ryobi platform of battery packs for lights, fans, chain saws, and inverters for camping/glamping and house hold charge ups.

[@intentsglamping]

Here is the generator video link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWiamWOnjtaKbLM - let me know what you think.

[@risbill1]

Nice video. All good until the power goes out I guess or if there isn't power available. We tend to camp in areas where power isn't an option.

[@intentsglamping]

Raymond - thx for the compliment. Please watch my video on which generator to use and why. We lost power for seven days in Texas in February with temps in the single digits and snow and ice covering everything. During those seven days we only used less than two 20lb propane tanks while heating, cooking, power charging, lights, etc in our house. We had five tanks on hand so we could have gone another two weeks. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWiamWOnjtaKbLM We take this generator when we go off grid now and use it to heat or cool our tents. Enjoy. Btw, with wheels as seen in the video you can take a generator a long way from the road if your camping and not car glamping.

Hands down, KAMPA tents ROCK!!!!

[@intentsglamping]

Kampa has made some really really nice tents. I'm hoping that Dometic doesn't change them too much as they are trying to create a Toyota and Lexus line up with Dometic being the high end tents. We also like the Vango and Outwell's as they all have different features and functions. But the Brean 3 Air is our favorite 3 person and the Hayling 4 air is our favorite 4 person. We haven't tried them in their Techhnical Cotton yet, have you? Thx for your comments - please share, like and subscribe and let us know what other types of tent glamping videos you want to see. Thx

[@AnglerNoypi]

what tent is that..i like it

[@intentsglamping]

Leo, it is a Kampa (just bought by Dometic) Hayling Air 4. There are other videos of this tent during the day (backyard set up to test) and at night, to show the different ways to confit. Please share and let me know other things about camping or glamping you want to know about. Thx

[@matthew53719]

Where did you get the tent and how water proof is it? Nice set up by the way!

[@intentsglamping]

Livingood Family - great name. Thx for the compliment. I work hard at sharing insights. And that's why it's InTents Glamping not camping! The tent is a Kampa Hayling 4 Air and can be purchased through Camping World UK (not US) or Outdoorxl.com as the two places I buy my air tents and gear. Kampa (now owned by Dometic) have changed the design slightly so make sure to look at the schematic at those sites or the Kampa tents site. Regarding waterproof - these tents set the standard of waterproof as this one is actually 6000HH. HH is hydrostatic head and is the measure of how water proof a fabric is. 6000 HH means a column of water with 6K MM in it will not penetrate the fabric. To put that into perspective the majority of Coleman tents are less than 750 - not waterproof but "water resistant". That is why Coleman recommends "painting your tent with waterproofing application" and also using a rain fly to hopefully not get wet - nope not doing it. REI which we own several of their tents are about 1500HH which is the bottom threshold for "waterproof" - however they still require a rainfly. Rainflys - tarps- are the biggest reason I started intents glamping and buy air tents - I want to see out and I don't want to be cocooned or suffocate in my tent. My family doesn't either. Hope that helps and please share, like, and let us know more things you want to learn (watch all the videos!).

[@Bodycomp101]

Hi, where are you getting the power from I don't believe you stated that in the video

[@intentsglamping]

InTents Glamping Body Comp in this video I'm running off the full hook up at the state park 30amps. I had not bought a generator at that time. Since that trip I researched generators see my video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWiamWOnjtaKbLM - and I have run all kinds of things off that generator at the same time including an electric heater at 1500 watts and a ceramic burner going at 1700 watts. The AC unit in video is one I was using in my three car garage for cool and heat (its a 10K BTU heater too) and I just wanted to test it while camping/glamping. It far exceeded my expectations. Btw, in most state parks you can only run generators - no matter how quiet from 6am till 10pm. Your tent should be cool enough or switch over to a power station. Thanks and please share, like and subscribe.

What is powering the air conditioner?

[@intentsglamping]

Joseph in this video I am using the state park full hookup. See the orange extension cord going under the tent. But now, when we are off the grid I'm using the generator reviewed in the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWiamWOnjtaKbLM Off the grid allows us freedom to thousands of more campsites and full boon docking for glamping/camping. I bought this generator for glamping/camping but used it for survival. I highly recommend having a dual fuel generator that runs over 3000 continuous watts to run AC or heater. A heater runs about 1500 watts and a ceramic burner about 1700 watts. Hope that helps.

[@Beyond-Poker369]

How do you deal with the electric? do u get solar power generators. Any suggestions

[@intentsglamping]

In this video I'm using - as I remember - a 13 amp ext cord which is about 75-80 feet connected to the RV campsite hookups. Links are in description. In the future when we go off grid I use a generator but learning and choosing which one was a nightmare. So, make sure to watch this video I did on generators and extension cords - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWiamWOnjtaKbLM. When you have 30 amp or 50 amp connection (state park/generator) make sure to use an extension cord that can handle the heat and the transfer. Too small extension cords can heat up and catch on fire and also lose a lot of power if they are too long. In the generator video I use a 30 amp 75' extension and then a splitter into two 15 amp outlets for two reel extension cords. There are links in the video description to get you to the exact ones I use in the video make sure to use those, it doesn't cost you any extra, and it helps defray costs while helping you get the equipment shown.

Alma, we had links before Covid but everything has changed. Go directly to Camping World UK (Not usa) or outdoorworldxl.com and purchase there. We have a tarp on the front so that does not come with the tent. And make sure to subscribe, like and share. I'm doing a new video with window AC that will work in this tent and also power stations and testing an Artic Chill box in the next couple of videos.

[@Coopdundee]

In a shade maybe canvas gets warm otherwise but window openings can be adjusted and if trees are shading tent hang tarp a few feet over tent to put sun off of tent directly... Teton sports 10 by 10 or 10by 14.... mine took 70mph wind and held fast It’s the spring bar style thing Bends in the wind no matter how hard it blew

[@intentsglamping]

Keith, yes I totally get what you are saying and I like the suggestion. I will tell you once our family and friends experienced tents with large (really big) clear plastic windows and doors that also have mesh they will not go back to using our REI Kingdom 6 or any other tents without those windows, zones and inner tent. And besides with no poles the ease of pitching, packing and no parts is so sweet. I basic and primitive camp 2-3 weeks a year with my son and buddies - but my wife and her friends will not do that anymore after learning glamping.
