Family Camping | New Tent & New Camping Gear Tested & Reviewed
Join us as we go family camping and test out our new family tent set up for this year.
We test out all our new camping gear to see whether they are any good and give you our honest review. Should you buy them or should you just leave them on the shelf...
This year it is a bit different, as we had a new tent as well as some new camping gear! So yes, our family camping trips are starting to get a bit more expensive...
So, what do we have this year.....
First the new tent. We upgraded from the trusty Vango Casa Lux poled tent to a Vango Ventanas II Air 650XL. Our first air tent. Were we pleased with this? It did take ages to pitch and gave Scott some more grey hairs, but in the end, we did find the tent to be great and teh whole family were pleased with it, as it was actually bigger and very sturdy in the wind and bad weather.
All the items that we found to be good in our last video we brought on this trip. Camping equipment such as the Quest Griddle, the water Dispenser that we purchased from Amazon, Yawn Air beds, Vango Inflatable sofa, Portaloo for the kids, Vango Table & chair Dining set and of course the great £12 pop up Firepit that we got off Amazon.
New camping bits we for testing and reviewing were:
- The Tent itself - A full review of the tent can be found here: th-cam.com/video/kqHxRGEs2AY/w-d-xo.html.
- Hi-Gear Bubble Chairs
- Another Hi-Gear Cheap £6 chair
- Hi-Gear Inflatable Chair
- Vango Flex Lights
- Vango Vista Projector Screen
- A Projector (which Scott Bought off Amazon)
- Hi-Gear Divine Sleeping bags
- Kampa Chair for Children
- Pop up Shoe Houser
- Kampa Oscillating Fan
- A windbreak
- Bottle Holders
The Vango Ventanas Air tent got a big plus from us as mentioned, but what was the new camping equipment like..
Hi-Gear Bubble Chairs - We purchased 2 at approx. £30 each. Comfortable they were, especially when compared to the cheap £6 Hi-Gear Chair, but these bubble chairs are very bulky. Had we not got a trailer, we probably could not have fit these in the car. It is also worth noting that they do not come with cup or bottle holders. But What we did have was some great..
Bottle Holders that we purchased from Attwoolls For only £2 each. Infact these great contraptions are one of teh best buys we think you can make. Can be taken anywhere and just stuck in teh ground to support your beverage. So those were a winner.
Hi-Gear Divine Sleeping bags. Again, we bought 2 at approx. £30 each. We had previously had 2 £15 jobs from Aldi, and although great for teh price, we did find the sides opening and the zips often getting stuck. So were these worth the money, most definitely yes. Really warm and we did not find ourselves slipping out of them during the night. So, if you are looking for some good sleeping bags that do not cost the earth, we can recommend these.
Kampa oscillating fan. this was a thousand times better than the Kampa Diddy Heater. We used to have a Quest Fan, that was great and this was the perfect substitute. Approx £30 from GoOutdoors and it kept our huge family tent nice and toasty, also a winner.
Hi-Gear inflatable Chair. If you ignored the actual colour, we found that our kids loved this. Not ideal for larger people as you will need strong knees to lift you up. If you have children we would recommend, if just adults do not bother.
Pop Up Shoe Houser - Brilliant piece of Kit. Takes up hardly any space, easy to assemble and we really noticed difference having shoes kept off the floor. We recommended getting one of these if you have the space.
Vango Flex Lights - These were fantastic. If you have these, you can more or less do away with any other camping lights. We bought two, but only set up one and the whole tent was pretty much lit up by them. You actually have a controller to make them brighter or dimmer pending your requirements.
Projector and Vango Vista Screen - Screen cost approx. £40, but does get creased, so you do need to set up correctly. But.. the projector, oh dear. Do not get what we got, and as Scott Says, sometimes you just need to spend the money. Purchased off Amazon, with Chinese Instructions, it would not mirror Samsung phones, so was pretty much useless.
The weather for our stay was not great and actually too cold to test the windbreak, but we will test or maybe look at new ones for next trip along with other bits that Scott is eyeing up.
This was our first trip for the year and hopefully you may some of our latest camping tips useful. if so please subscribe and watch our other videos.

    Yeah, unfortunately you cant really trust Amazon 100% anymore with electronics. Better off going with a local retailer. We got a Philips Neo pix prime 1 projector from Currys. It connects wirelessly to the samsung phone fine, and also has USB functionality which I haven't tried out yet.

    Thanks guys for another great video 🙂 We just bought the projector solution as well for this year and if you would still like to keep a budget for another projector, you should check out the HY300 projector. There is a lot of reviews to find on youtube on this one, which seems to answer all the things mentioned in this video. And if you want to scale up, but double the price, the HY320 could also be an option to consider. About the projector screen, we got the Outwell movie screen which has a metal pole in the top and bottom to weigh it down, so that it should not move about as much the vango screen seemed to do. Was that an issue for you guys when watching movies in the tent? We have not tested our projector solution inside our tent at this point. About the shoe rack you got, I have searched for good offers for that shoe rack besides the IKEA one without any luck. Where did you guys buy it from? Thanks again guys for sharing with us, and hope you'll enjoy all the new camping adventures to come onwards with your new fantastic home from home 🙂

Screen will be OK, just need to secure it properly with Skyhooks etc to our tent. The shoe rack we got from GoOutdoors. Lightweight, compact and easy to assemble, so definitely a good buy.

      Hi, this was first trip with our puppy Roxy and not knowing how she would be with inflatables, we decided it would be better to take the cheaper Vango inflatable sofa. At £100 a go, we didn't want to risk it being punctured. And yes defo get the Vango light. Actually has a remote that dims and brightens. But really is a great buy. Happy camping👍

I'll never buy another type of camping mattress. The only down side. It's a double and packs away quite big. But I love it.

    Enjoyed watching your videos as we have a Vango Casa Air Lux, was amusing to see you had got a trailer as having the exact same thoughts myself, air tents are massive! I’m mulling over the idea of a used trailer tent at some point, maybe a camp-let with the full awning setup. Also made a few notes for myself for taking the tent down, might be handy: Taking down tips: - Tie up guy lines - Leave doors open at bottom to allow air to escape but zipped enough to prevent over stretching when putting up again - deflate air beams from back to front - Aim to fold to a bag shaped width (put bag at end to help with judging the fold width) - Roll up towards valve side of beams - Put tent bag over top and roll into bag

      Hi, yes air tents great, but huge even when folded. Scott is just looking to buy a small trailer now and get roof bars as we have a roof box already. We found the dog took up half the boot, which was the main issue. We saw a few trailer tents this time, and they do look really solid, but we also saw one chap having a nightmare assemble it. May have been his first time? And lol, the thing with all these tents is they never have a how to pack away guide..why??

I put up my poled tent, unpacked everything, brewed up, and still had time to sit back and watch them figuring it out which took well over an hour (feeling a little smug).

    • @TheHadwinsTV
      @TheHadwinsTV 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi, we only chose the tent due to Scott working away a lot for the next year or so. This meant I am working more weekends, so we would have spent a lot of money on the caravan, but would not have been able to use it often. With the tent, we did it before with just a roofbox, that was the casa vango lux (poled and not air, so smaller in bag). So it can be done, it was more the dog taking up room in the car this time. No dog, we could do it with just a roofbox..

    If you've never towed a 'van before, looking at 'vans over 24 feet long is ridiculous! My parents and I managed many years ago with a ten foot 'Sprite'. The space was quite tight at times, but children have to learn that the world doesn't revolve around them every moment of every day! I'm just grateful that the days of toilet tents and popping outside with torches in the early hours of the morning are long gone! Best comment made on this caravan search so far is "the kitchen's a bit plain"! FFS!

      You'll be better off staying with a tent, you really seem to have no idea at all about caravanning!

    I have 2 air tents, a 5 man (Outdoor Revolution Airedale 5.0s) and 8 man (Vango Tahiti 850 XL). So I agree it's like moving a baby elephant around. I must say though I find them to be far superior to pole tents, and once you figure the air beams out they go up and down quicker, I also find them to be a lot sturdier in bad weather, as we camp in the UK you know we need that. LOL Are you in any camping clubs? I am in the Camping and Caravan club, it's great club with 1000's of sites across the UK, and when you are member it is so much cheaper, which is good for me as I am out a couple of times a month from April to October, most if not all of there sites are both kid and dog friendly. please keep the videos coming I luv them. ⛺⛺⛺🏕🏕🏕👍👍👍 ps I posted a short video of my small tent on my TH-cam channel please feel free to check it out, video of big tent coming soon.

      Hi, we like the sound of the caravan and camping club, but for this year at least, Scott is travelling quite a bit, so we are a bit short of breaks. We normally love to get away at least 3 times a year in a tent .so all a bit gutted. Dread to think how much your 8 man tent weighs🤣 but you are right, they are far more sturdy, and it really surprised us. Will check out your video now👍

    Please don’t buy a caravan. This is so much more fun to watch and you’re entertaining everyone at the campsite. Just kidding. Your new tent is huge. You should always make sure you have a large level pitch. We’ve seen many campsites where that might be a problem. We always stayed in a tent with our kids and loved it, but we never had rain for a full week. That’s however exceptional and a holiday you’ll always remember.

      Hi and thank you so much for the comment. Lol, and yes I think Scott did entertain all the caravans whilst they watched him try to pitch the tent. Fortunately the site we were at had great pitches, but we have also struggled to find level pitches in the past..bigger the tent the harder to find the level pitches. If you know any good campsites, with level pitches for big tents, please let us know👍

      Plenty of beautiful level campsites here in the Netherlands. So maybe you could cross the channel and explore it here. Can’t promise you good weather however.

    What decided you against the Caravan in the end? Not that the tent isn’t gorgeous just seemed a lot of work. 😉 Tip - you can use the pump to help deflate as well, when we take down our air awning we let the air come out then attach the pump and put it in the deflate position. Also, if you leave the air valves open when putting away it helps trapped air escape when rolling around on it. You may have already done these things, if you did sorry for teaching you to suck eggs 😂 Enjoy your next trip 😊

      Hi, it was a very tough decision. As it turned out Scott is now having to do a lot of travelling during the week days, and I am now having to work some weekends. As a result it meant all the weekends we were planning in our caravan, would not happen. So spending a small fortune and not being able to make the most of it, swayed us towards a tent. And ref valves, we did leave open in the end, but did not think about using the pump to such all out.. wish we had, would have saved some rolling around and confusion...
