7 Answers

We have bought a Kampa blow up tent in Dorset last week... Fantastic.
we have erected it in our small garden añd all seems well, so easy to erect.
only one problem! We have found it quite hard to deflate ALL the air for it to fit snug in its bag again.
Has anyone got one of these tents to give me some sound advice. mañy thanks abers.

Have you looked at these inflator pumps that plug into your cigarette lighter maybe theres one of those that does reverse.

Hi UK. we have a special air pump for this tent and it works a great blowing it up, but I guess its the way you fold up the tent that would expel more air!
maybe were not expelling enough? Such a shame as the tent is brilliant.

I have looked on quite a few utube links and they are very helpful and find it all so easy, but is the only thing they miss out on, and that is showing you how easy it all fits into the carrying bag again.

what about a vacuum pump - or is that silly? I don't know much about the subject!

There are several pumps available which will deflate as well as inflate. Look at any camping equipment site.

So sorry for not getting back earlier!
Have sincespekn to the maiñ dealers and they have given us some good advice.
Our garden is quite small so can't inflate tent fully until we go camping!
Better luck next time ay! 2nd attempt was an improvement on the 1st attempt, haha.

mañy thanks for replies x

P.s. Our pump is a good one and maybe didn't realise to deflate using pump to get the last bit of air out.
