Very nice and professional shooting! I recently bought the same tent and am planning to go camping next weekend. I was wondering if you could share any hints and tips for the trip. Thank you in advance!

Hi, thanks very much. For the tips I would suggest to get matching footprint and carpet ( go outdoors had a deal £70 for both), buy extra set of heavy duty pegs just incase stormy weather, when putting tent away make sure you leave open gaps in bedrooms and entry points ( it helps the air to escape), when rolling the tent take your time and use your body weight to get rid of air otherwise it may not fit the bag. I found it easier to fold sides to meet in the middle and then fold again ( you end up wit tidier sides without blue fabric. Hope this helps, happy camping 👍

We had the same tent on the same site (in the first dog free field behind reception) on what I think was the same stormy night (Wednesday 26th July)! I was very worried as it was my first experience of an air tent and the wind and rain was very driving and gusty but the tent stood up really well. At one point one of the straps holding the bedroom air pole became unpegged but that was soon fixed and the tent felt very solid and safe. Our only problem was that we got some puddles of water around the bottom of the air poles on the inside, presumably because it got blow through the air pole vent access flaps. Nothing major though and was soon mopped up and dried out the following day.

Hi, our stormy night happened on Friday 21st and then rained the following Saturday. We had similar problem with lines getting loose because of the strong wind pulled pegs of the soggy ground. Other than that no issues. Tent felt safe and sturdy. Only downside is the size of carry bag, it's massive!

Your welcome 👍

Thanks for the video, I’m thinking of buying this tent as the tent we have now doesn’t have a zip at the bottom of the inside door.. could you tell me if this tent has a zip along the bottom of the inner door please? Thanks

[@Valdi_G]

Hi, if you referring to the front door behind the porch there are actually two zips down the bottom, one for each layer (mesh and window). Hope this helps👍

[@Valdi_G]

Little correction, there is one zip on the bottom. The second layer has top and side zip with overhang flap down the bottom.

[@beads81]

@@Valdi_G brilliant, this helps massively, In fact I’ll be ordering this tent.. was going to try and find one set up to have a look but that was the only thing I needed to know.. so thanks 😊

Does the central dorm strap on the front come with the tent? I saw one set up in the shop but it wasn’t on.

[@Valdi_G]

Hi, all straps you see on the video were included.

[@hwpestcontrol456]

Does the freedom 5 come with the front door so to speak. A lot of the pictures it just open. Good video.

[@hwpestcontrol456]

Great many thanks. 🙏 Just brought one!

[@Valdi_G]

Hi, yes it does and you can use front porch as door as well fully open or closed. Hope this helps 👍
