The Eurohike Genus 400 Air Tent excels in providing a hassle-free camping experience for families and small groups. Its most significant performance advantage is the inflatable beam system, which drastically reduces pitching time to approximately 15 minutes. This means less time struggling with poles and more time enjoying your trip.
In real-world use, the tent's spacious living area (145(l) x 250cm(w) x 190(h)cm) acts as a comfortable hub, perfect for relaxing, playing games, or storing gear during the day. The large windows ensure this space remains bright and inviting, even on overcast days. At night, the integrated lantern hanging point ensures you can easily illuminate the area. The 4-person bedroom (210(l) x 240(w) x 180(h)cm) offers a cozy sleeping environment.
Weather performance is robust, with a 3000mm hydrostatic head providing reliable waterproofing against rain, while the design, developed by camping experts, is specifically tested for the unpredictable British climate. This confidence in weather resistance makes it a dependable choice for various conditions, although it's always recommended to pitch securely with all guy ropes. The separate porch provides an ideal space to store muddy boots or wet gear, keeping the main living area clean.
Setting up your Eurohike Genus 400 Air Tent is quick and straightforward thanks to its inflatable design:
Unpack: Lay out the tent on your chosen pitch, ensuring the groundsheet is flat.
Attach Pump: Locate the inflation valves on the air beams and securely attach the included pump.
Inflate: Pump air into each beam until it is firm. The tent will take shape as you inflate the beams. Avoid over-inflation.
Secure: Once inflated, peg down all corners and attach the guy ropes, extending them at a 45-degree angle and pegging them firmly into the ground. Adjust tension to ensure stability.
Internal Setup: Position your loose porch groundsheet and arrange your sleeping area.
This tent is designed for family camping and small group adventures, comfortably accommodating 4 people. Its packed dimensions (73 x 35 x 28cm) and weight (9.8kg) make it ideal for transport in a car boot, making it compatible with various car camping setups.
Proper care will extend the life of your tent:
Cleaning: After each use, ensure the tent is clean. Brush off any dirt, leaves, or debris. If necessary, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap (avoid harsh detergents).
Drying: Always ensure the tent is completely dry before packing away to prevent mildew and damage. If you have to pack it wet, unpack and dry it fully as soon as possible.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and pests. Use the included carry bag for protection.
Maintenance: Periodically check the air beams for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the valves are clean and free of debris.
Safety: The EN-5912 flame retardant coating offers an important safety feature; however, always keep heat sources and open flames away from tent fabric.
