So I'm considering buying a new tent, as the bastard thieves got our old one. I want something easy. Anyone got an inflatable tent, would you recommend it?

Not to be obvious, but there are few questions you need to answer before a recommendation can be made.

  1. How many people do you accommodate?
    e g. 2-person, 4-person, etc.

  2. are you car camping or backing? Weight and size are a consideration.

  3. Cost: exploration and good backpacking tents run in excess of $400. Don't have to of coarse, a mid-range back pacling tent😳 200-$300.

Durability -as one might expect, the higher the price,, the better the quality and the better the durability. This one of those items where it rings true, higher price, better equipment.

If you are car camping. REI brand is satisfactory for the casual camper -$65 to $150. If you sre more experienced or looking for more specialized equipment: The North Face brand. One if best in the world and is used by serious back packers, as well as on Everest - $200 - $800.

I hope this helped.

@Josephine yes,, I did mean that you drive to a campsite and camp in a csmpground or camp a few yards from your car. I do this type all the time. I used to be an ardent back packer, but not anymore.

I do not know anything about inflatable tents. Never seen one, sorry can't help there. Their are many good tents in the price range you quote. The thing most important for you from what I can ascertain is the ease of assembly. I would make that my guiding question while looking. Also in the back of mind keep packing size in mind as well.

Good luck on your search

I have never owned nor used them but, having some knowledge of engineering and material science, I'd imagine that unless constructed with very high quality materials capable of withstanding very high pressures (certainly mechanically-driven air compressor pressures, rather than inflated by lung power) inflatable tents would only be suited to relativealy calm conditions.

@Josephine In that case, they're probably perfect!
