Inflatable Tent (2-10 Person)

Love this new tent. It's very sturdy, doesn't lose air and held up great in heavy winds. I was hesitant about spending the money but it is worth it. Can't beat the quality! It was a challenge the 1st time we put it up.....the second time went much faster. I would advise using the hand pump along with an electric air pump. Good luck!

Our Coody /RBM inflatable tent Koala7 experience: let’s just say we have officially used our Coody in all four seasons in USA North/East New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Virginia areas. And we are pleased to announce WE LOVE OUR COODY. We could not do what we love if it was not for this Cody tent. The spring and fall seasons: Rain storms after rain storm. Some being extremely heavy and unexpected downpours. We did not use the rain fly because we were not expecting the rain and Coody kept us dry not one area leaked. We were able to relax and enjoy being inside the tent, looking out at the rain. Lying in bed, looking up at the moon roof, well that was stunningly beautiful and not to mention the sound of the rain falling on the tent, breathtaking.

A great tent for camping, very sturdy and super comfortable. Shipping was fast too -- it arrived in under a week. When I first received this tent, I decided to set it up in my backyard for the first time just to see the dimensions and get a feel for the inflation process. The tent seemed very bulky, and to be honest, I was afraid it would be too big for a normal campsite. When we arrived at the actual campsite, however, I realized that my fears were unfounded - it seems that everyone who comes with a family and children (and no RV) has a rather large tent, comparable in size to this one, but usually of significantly less comfortable configuration. Some have low, overhanging walls with rounded edges. Others are overly bulky with large, thick poles, making them inconvenient to store and transport. Needless to say, the mattress arrangement in these other tents is usually less than optimal. This tent has a rectangular shape with almost vertical walls and a pitched roof. No space is wasted, making it the most spacious tent I’ve ever been in and an incredibly comfortable living space. Inflatable mattresses and beds can be placed optimally, without having the walls hang over your head or touch you as you sleep. Importantly, you can move around inside the tent at full height and there is even a place to hang a flashlight/lantern. In our tent we had five people, four mattresses, a cot, a table and still had plenty of room for the rest of our stuff. Another very important point -- the tent doesn't get damp overnight like many others, which certainly adds to the comfort level. Putting up this tent is incredibly easy. In under 10 minutes, two 11-year-olds managed to pump it up fully without overexerting themselves (a good pump is included). The nice, thick canopy that comes with the tent came in very handy on the second night of our stay. It started to rain heavily but we were already asleep and didn’t notice a thing until the morning. The tent was completely dry. Meanwhile, our neighbors' tent was soaked by the downpour and they had to retreat to their car. On the third night it got very cold outside. We simply closed the curtains on the windows and again didn’t notice a thing until the morning – the tent was very warm. All in all, five nights at the campsite, no problems, and only positive emotions. Looking at the dimensions, you might think that this tent is very big and heavy and takes up a lot of space in the trunk of your car. Yes, the tent is heavy, but it's really no heavier than other tents of similar capacity. I was able to load and unload it by myself. I did have some help putting the top up, but I probably could've done it alone. I have a RAV4, which has a decent-sized but not oversized trunk. When folded, the tent only took up about a third of the trunk. I was pleasantly surprised.The tent is made of thick, excellent quality fabric. When inflated, the structure is strong and keeps its shape well even with the canopy on top, and that includes in strong winds. I somehow clumsily stumbled and managed to fall on the tent. The side of the tent simply folded under my weight and when I got up, it sprung right back to its original position. I’m 100% positive that the frame of any conventional tent would’ve snapped under my weight. So I’m very happy I chose this tent and not another. I can offer a couple of recommendations to make life easier: Before setting up the tent, take the time to prepare the site. Remove all small stones, sticks and so on, otherwise it will be very unpleasant to walk barefoot inside the tent. Our campsite was underneath a bunch of tall trees and so, for the entire week, we had a lot of leaves, sticks, and other debris falling on top of the tent. Since the inflated tent is big and tall, it wasn’t easy to shake off all the garbage. After we got home, I put the tent up in my garage to dry it off and clean it. I quickly realized that using a leaf blower (mine is electric, but I think any will do) to clean off the roof is a huge time saver. Next time, I’ll probably bring it with me and also use it to prepare the site. I suppose a brush on a long stick could also work but the leaf blower makes it easy.

This thing is SHARP! I already own a Coody 17.2 beige, and I didn't think it could get any better, until I got the Coody 17.2 Black! This monster is not only enormous, but it takes luxury camping to whole new level. Seeing this tent in person immediately makes you feel like you have the best kept secret in Gotham City. I immediately jumped online and ordered up everything Batman I could find, to deck this thing out like a BATCAVE! Even the jet black storage bags are badass. I do not know if the ladies would go for the black tent, but as a dude, I am ALL in! Full size doors on both ends, giant windows on the sides, skylights in the roof, and a removeable floor for ice fishing, not to mention a stove jack for winter camping, and a rainfly for downpours. The rainfly does not have a stove jack but I easily installed one myself for a matter of 40 bucks. Do not be the boy scout with a paper airplane.. be the MAN with the STEALTH BOMBER.

I patiently waited for the updated Coody17.2 Tents. Originally I was going to purchase the Panda because of the doors in the front and back. But when I found out I was excited because that was the one feature I wanted most in the Coody 17.2. Best quality tent that is out there. I will definitely be purchasing the Panda in the future!
