The coolest part of this video is You replied to all the comments.
Keith, I really try to answer all the questions as possible.
Trying to show, share and teach people about all the camping and glamping possibilities, especially tents. The air tube tents have been the rage in Europe for the last 5-10 years because Europeans will camp for 2-4 weeks, when Americans only camp for 1-2 days.
We welcome to the channel thirsty learners who want to have longer and better outdoor experiences with their family and friends. We get a few odd/strange comments about "this isn't camping" but we think those people just don't take the time to read that this is "not a basic, primitive, or technical camping channel - its about luxury air tent family glamping. Please subscribe, share, like and ask questions - thx.
YES... That is very NICE of him... I agree.
@@judichristopher4604 :-) Please share.
You don't have a tent.. Brother you got a 2 bedroom Apartment. Lol.. I love it.. Lol
Too funny! One of my next videos is our largest air tent with eleven tinted windows! This one has six windows. Thx.
Agree!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@intentsglamping what does a tent like this cost?
@@spencerhasty200 Spencer that tent is roughly in the $700-$800 range before vestibule. The vestibule that is either mesh is about $175 and Clear windows is about $200. I highly recommend full ground sheet and carpeting for about $150. Those are pricing estimates as it depends on what model year you buy (this is a 2019 I believe) and who you buy it from. I reviewed and shopped several hundred 4 person berth tents before buying this one. Kampa is one of the top manufacturers in the world.
willie Duke: better known as a nylon condo. lol
You certainly won me over! This is exactly what I need to get my wife to go camping (glamping)!
Robin - awesome to hear. I was just trying some things and it worked really well. It all starts with the right tent. I will have more videos coming out shortly using a window AC 5K BTU running off a generator so make sure to subscribe.
@@intentsglamping sounds great! Thank you sir!
Thanks for the vid! I thought many times about doing this myself. I love camping
& kinda hate not using all that wasted summer time when I could be outdoors camping. But ofc tent camping in the thick heat of summer also sucks. I am saving this vid bc the comments are actually pretty good with some camping ideas too 👍🏼
Thx - make sure to watch the latest video - Your Wife Is Till Hot Camping - that has a ton of ideas, tips, and different ac and generator.
Last year I set up a screened 6 person tent with velcro privacy closures and used a 5,000 btu air conditioner at the corner of the entry door (splits down the middle with a zipper) to keep it cool. Also ran a household fan to circulate the air inside the tent. Worked well even into the 90’s, kept my clothing and sleeping bag dry and made for some enjoyable camping. Going to do the same this year too.
Benjamin - sounds like a great plan. I will have a video out in a few weeks using a 5K window ac with a generator. Stay tuned and subscribe. Thx
I like that title!!! Lol lol - it's funny how we want to be outside, but we don't!! 🤣 I'm all for this kinda camping!! Your wife is a lucky woman👍😎😎😎
Thx and totally agree about not wanting the bad stuff outside - humidity, bugs, weather, cold, windy, rainy, etc. That is why I started this channel and website intentsglampingusa.com to show people how to experience the outdoors with the comfort of indoors. I appreciate your comments - hoped you subscribed and share and let me know what other kinds of tent glamping videos you want to see. Thx.
I don't mind being hot, but when I sleep I gotta have it like a meat locker.
Derek, I totally agree. The coldest setting that is on this AC unit is 68 and with it pulling out all the humidity it felt like a meat locker all day and night long. I use this AC/Heater unit in my garage and thought I would just test it. Wow, I was blown away how awesome it worked. Btw, the next video is how to power things - what is the best generator - I have found and use to power AC/Heaters, etc. Hope you enjoy. Thx.
Here is the generator video link - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html - let me know what you think.
Me too otherwise I wake up so stuffy
Just bought a black and decker 8000 btu ac and she rips! I live in Cincinnati so it gets into the low 90s in the summer and my room is nice and cool at 68 at night!
@@jtnaehring9670 sounds awesome! The unit I show also has a 10K BTU heater so it's good for all seasons. Are you using the AC unit in a tent or just your room?
Yes I agree camping is about enjoying the comfort of being outdoors. We started with a smaller tent and sleeping on the cold hard ground. Leveled up and got a bigger tent, air mattress, electricity onsite for plugins, then people were saying that’s glamping lol. But I say why not be comfortable while we are out camping and enjoying ourselves 🤷🏿♀️ 😊
You're a perfect example of getting started in camping and then adding more things or changing your camping into glamping. Thx for watching the channel and please share. Let us know what other things you would like to learn about camping or glamping.
We live in Texas, and are State Park Pass holders. We have a big family and enjoy tent glamping. But Texas heat makes sleeping at night in a tent almost impossible for us. I have a window unit for each tent we own. I use a heavy duty reflective tarp on top of the each tent and then place the rain fly on top of that. I usually try to get a campsite under some trees for some added shade as well. But those reflective tarps work great. Keep heat out and keep the cold air in. At night you will need an extra blanket to stay warm. And that's with Texas night heat.
Sounds like great glamping! What are your favorite Texas State Parks? Let me know what other ideas about glamping you want to see - our websites is intentsglampingusa.com and I'm working to share ideas and where to get the best glamping stuff. Thx
We used our first window unit for camping July 4th in Ga with record high temperatures. Works great!! We needed blankets too.
Wish we could get electric in the smoky mountains so we can use a heater in cold months!
That worked out really good. I'm still deciding what kind of air conditioner to put in my tiny camper.
So you do or don’t use an air conditioner with the reflective tarp? Is this reflective tarp just a silver top tarp or ‘special reflective’ tarp?
@@molliecornwell8569 we use the ac unit and insulate the tent bascially by using the heavy duty sun tarp. They are suusally brown on onw side and silver on the other. I buy them at Harbour Freight or Walmart.
We just returned from our first camping trip in the new Wittering 6! We bought the same AC unit as yours. Can I say GAME CHANGER!! It stayed 70 in our tent plus it rained everyday….storms one night. We stayed dry and comfortable! Thank you so much for sharing!! This has changed our way of camping.
Tiffany, how much fun and excitement and your experience makes the work, time and money we have spent on our own so worth it. The Wittering 6 is a big, beautiful and gorgeous tent loaded with quality and features quite similar to the Hayling line of tents! You have now experienced what our TH-cam Channel, website (intentsglampingusa.com) and community are all about - how to make camping more enjoyable, comfortable and fun - no matter the weather, temperature or situation - welcome to InTents Glamping! Please share, like and leaver more comments or questions and help us teach more campers about how to transform their camping. Did you get the "Air" version and where did you purchase the tent?
We did not go with the air. The pole version was cheaper and was “easier on our budget”. We are now looking at ordering the Brean 3 to take to Yellowstone.
@@tiffanikeyes4269 Yes the "pole versions" can be 40-50% cheaper than the "air" equivalent and that is mostly from economies of scale of production and materials costs being a little higher. Over time those numbers will even out as air tents continue to sell faster than pole versions. Regarding the Kampa Brean 3, there have been slight variation changes between the '19 '20 and '21 so make sure to look at the schematics and even chat/talk with whoever you buy your tent from. There are some nice packages for the '19 and '20. And those years you can still get the pole or air extension which is really really nice. I'm not seeing the extension on the '21 as Dometic has bought Kampa. Also, if you ever wanted a Technical Cotton (the most expensive material) you can still buy a '20 Air TC with Extension - a big budget but an amazing tent in 3 or 4 person for 10-20 years. Let us know what you got! Great glamping!
Thank you for all that great information!! Do you have a particular company in the UK you prefer?
One other question. How do people stay in these tents WITHOUT an AC? There is not a whole lot of ventilation.
@@tiffanikeyes4269 in Texas most people don't camp between the Memorial and Labor Day as it is just too hot. And a lot of mesh is not the answer as our REI Kingdome Six is half mesh on the front but you have to keep the rain fly on it because it can rain any time especially a stray thundershower in the middle of the night. I think that is why this video has hundreds of thousands of views and more viewers keep coming. One thing we do is use a "cannon" fan from Ryobi with their lithium ion battery packs. It's a huge fan 18" and runs for about 14 hours on their big batteries (we either bring several batteries or recharge) and the fan also runs on electricity - here's the link - amzn.to/3wnNXAp. We use the Ryobi platform for lights, fans, chain saws, and inverters, etc for camping/glamping.
Regarding buying tents, we used to have a link to Camping World UK but they are changing their affiliate program right now. We buy most of our tents from them or outdoorxl.com. They both have different deals and have inventory from different models/years. Make sure to look closely as Kampa has changed the design of the Brean 3 which affects the ventilation. One last hack - put your fan next to the mesh pushing the air out - that will pull fresh air in.
This is EXACTLY what I started doing last year as well! Fiance is hot as a wolf and we live in high humidity so he refuses to do much in the summer. Bought the EZ Camp Tempest 600 inflatable for the ease of setup and those windows. We then just bring our 750 sqft portable ac. It's WONDERFUL. Now I can show this video to my friends to show them I'm not insane 🤣
That is too funny. Yes the EZ camp tempest I am familiar with it. Please share with all your friends. Make sure to watch the video on which generator to own and use. And if you want some thing really crazy watch our video on how to bake a thanksgiving dinner for 12 out of a cardboard box - that will have your friend totally losing it! Thx.
What kind of A.C. Is that? I’m actually thinking a battery-operated A.C. might be best for me with all the crowds this year; may have to boondock.
@@Thinkforyourselves64 There is a link up above. Just go to it. Don't waste your money on the portable personal coolers that sell for under $100. And no real AC units can run on battery unless they are power stations with several 1000 watts. I will do a video later this summer with a 5K BTU window unit running using the generator I recommend in the Must Have generator video.
@@intentsglamping just looked into these tents. Looks like the manufacturer discontinued them unfortunately
@@AquaTech225 After five years of buying and using inflatable luxury tents, I have to say the longest running models - with minor changes - are the Kampa's. They've offered the Brean style for 8-10 years and in inflatable for the last 5ish. There have been some minor modifications since Dometic bought Kampa and I think they are trying to make the Kampa line a less expensive inflatable model and their Dometic tents high end. I would make sure to buy from a tent company that is really committed to inflatable tents and their models - outwell, kampa, vango and a few others.
I used a 5000 btu window air conditioner in a 8 man Cabela tent 10 years ago at Myrtle Beach in July. I set it on a plastic crate at the back door. It worked great.
Sandra, thanks for sharing. I have a brand new 5000BTU window unit that I bought last year but then the temp went down. I will be testing and video taping that later on this year. Part of the trick with AC'ing a tent is the ability to seal it up. Most american tents have too much mesh or they don't seal or you still have to use a rain fly. The tents I show don't need rain flys and you have windows to see out which makes them great for glamping. Thx

You are a man ahead of your time sir. That is genius!
Jchock1 - okay that might be might favorite comment in the last 12 months! I appreciate it. I'm busting my butt (I run two other companies) to share and show people the coolest (yeah literally) ideas and strategies to transform camping to glamping. It has cost me a ton of money and time but comments like yours really make it worth it. Please share, subscribe, keep comment and leaving questions what you want to know more about. I have to be honest, my most innovative video is feeding 12 people for Thanksgiving full courses with baked Turkey out of a $5 dollar Uhaul cardboard box. That video doesn't get the traction this one does but no one on the internet has done that one - make sure to check it out and watch all my videos. The next one is on the best generator for off grid camping, glamping and survival! Thanks again!
Been using ac & heat tent for 25+ yrs. With a relatively inexpensive 8 x 8 tents. Bought in usa and made in china like most. Nofhing as elaborate as your tent in video. Thanks for the video
Thomas, love hearing about your experience. Sounds like you've been glamping for a long time. And yes I grew up with the Kmart and inexpensive Coleman tents and gear starting 50 years ago! There is nothing wrong with those tents, they just don't have the features and functions of the tents coming out of europe. Make sure to watch the "Tent Mahal" as that is our biggest and baddest tent. thx again
I LOVE IT. I Need One to Go Camping with my 3 nieces and wife.
Edward - thx for the compliment. Yes this would be a great tent for three kids and two adults or look at the bigger ones we have in our videos. All of the tents in these videos are inflatables that come from the UK/Europe as air tents aren't sold in the US. If budget is not an issue my video Tent Mahal is a beyond gorgeous tent for six and has eleven tinted windows. Outwell does not make that model any more but they have several similar. Let us know which tent you get.
😱🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽wow camping in another level, great VIDEO
Awesome setup. More people need to know about this option before they just give up and get a monster rv.
Thanks and that is why I started this channel and the website intentsglampingusa.com to teach people what is available. Please share with others and let me know what other information or videos you want to see.
Here is the generator video link - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html - let me know what you think.
Great set up but I'll take my monster RV.....
Hi! How did you connect the AC plug? Did you use an extension cord or directly to the outlet? Thank you
Many years ago I made an enclosure around the front of a window A/C unit that I had 10' outside the tent connected to the tent with 2 lengths of flex duct. It was much quieter being away from the tent and it did a good job of cooling the tent but because of it having to run almost continuously it seriously dried out the air in the tent to the point where your throat and mouth were uncomfortably dry. I scrapped the idea for that tent but tried it later in a canvas tent with a canvas drop cloth over it and it worked much better much more comfortable.
Sam, great to hear your idea. I had this AC unit in my garage for the hot summers where I have my golf simulator and HD giant screen so I thought I would try it. I will have a video out shortly about using a window unit and how well it worked. The one problem with having an ac unit away from your tent is keeping it dry or away from the elements. It rained while I was testing the window unit but it stayed dry. Thx for your comments and thoughts - please subscribe and share.
Awesome! I feel ya. I am going to do this with my Kodiak canvas tent. It has canvas zip windows. COOL, pun intended
Luv it! Let us know how it turns out. The Kodiaks are great tents as most are designed for the true 4 seasons (strong enough to hold snow). Thx
Oh my gosh we are heading to Tofino on Vancouver Island tomorrow I want this tent on the beach in Tofino because I am a princess 😀😀😀🇨🇦
Pam, yes you will definitely want a tent with windows and no rain fly where you are going! Check out all our videos to see the latest "air tent glaimping " tents we use when we go family glamping! Thx.
Thanks for the vid. My wife loves glamping, but she has MS which makes the heat a challenge. I was concerned we'd be in trouble with a beach campout, but I think we'll do fine with 12,000 btu's in my Arizona GT 12 after watching this! PS- I bought some portable, rechargeable fans that run about $20-30 on a certain site. They got good reviews so I got one to test, then three more when they lived up to expectations for those nights that don't need as much fire power or you don't have 120 V. They'll run for 8 hrs. on med speed, stand on a table or hang from a built in hook.
Michael, I have to tell you that you and your family are the reason I started this channel and have spent a ton of money researching, testing and putting videos together to help everyone enjoy camping more. So many people don't know or are not sensitive to understand that every body can't go "roughing it" but they still want to enjoy the outdoors. They can just go camping like I did with my son in the 100 degree heat a few weeks ago for seven days. But my wife would never tolerate that kind of heat.
Great to hear about your ideas and strategies on keeping things cool. I'm just about to publish a brand new video on the cheapest way to ac a tent. It will launch some time this week - make sure to subscribe and watch as I use a window unit connected to a generator Thx for your comments and ideas.
Hi can you tell me the name (brand) of those portable rechargeable
fans that you purchased please
@@luciac.419 which portable fans are you talking about? In this video or another one?
Amacool makes the fans. $16 now! Learned a lesson though...12,000 btu a/c needs a 10-12 guage cord. Got it going though! Keep posting, brother!
@@intentsglamping It was the one Michael Gallagher mentioned in his comment (he did answer the question though) Thank you for the info!
That is awesome! I have the same portable ac unit. I brought it camping in June in Texas last year and forgot the discharge hose! Epic fail! This inspires me to try again and not forget the hose.
Brian, I'm so glad I inspired you. Please subscribe and share. Also, check out our website at intentsglampingusa.com for more ideas. I have dozens of videos coming out soon so give me comments on what else you want to see. Thx
Our Texas State Parks get hot here in the summertime. It's nearly impossible to camp without a AC unit. We window unit it for sure.
Here is the generator video link - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html - let me know what you think.
Thank you. This is great. I would really like to have a similar camp set up
thx - make sure to watch all the videos as there are hundreds of ideas and different set ups - we have about fifty more videos in the works - just takes a ton of time and money
We tent camped for 6 years with a window unit a/c. Key west in July was sooooo hot outside we didn’t even make coffee. 🤪 have a 100,000 plus class b van and miss the tent camping .
Ricky - awesome - wow a $100K B van I'll bet that is sweet. We will be testing a 5K BTU window unit later this summer running off a generator. I totally get the RVs for all the comfort and amenities - at the same time the air tents coming out of the UK and other countries (as shown in our videos) are 10X better than what is being sold in the states. That's about to change though. Thx for your comments and please subscribe, like and share.
Thank you for sharing. Camping in Arizona in the fall can be quite hot as well. Gonna try this
Have fun! Please share.
Here is the generator video link - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html - let me know what you think.
AWESOME!!
New Lion - thanks so much. Please share and let me know what other kinds of videos you want to see on tent glamping. Thx
Thank you. This is great
This is very cool! But I'm more of a classy mini tent :) gives me a better vibe when camping. Just feels more right for me 😆
- understand - when you have a wife and kids the small tents just don't work - will have a video coming out later that shows two 3 person tents - this one and a regular camping tent.
Because of this video, I got the Kampa Hayling 6 air pro and I hope it works the same way.
We love our Hayling 4 and the 6 will give you that much more room. Make sure to get the mesh/clear front vestibule. We use the mesh in the summer time (see most videos) and then I just added the clear plastic panel one for the fall. I will show that in the next video using a heater and inverter generator. Please share and help get other people to the channel and let me know how your glamping in the Kampa goes.
Here is the generator video link - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html - let me know what you think.
Great video 💯 This tent is “Amazing” 💯✨💕
Tami, thank you for your kind comments as far as a four person tent this is our favorite. Have you checked out all our videos to see the three person and the two six person tents? Each tent is special in features and functions - like our biggest tent has 11 tinted windows. Depending on the trip length, type of weather and number staying in the tent dictates which one we use. Let me know any questions you have and please share and tell more about our channel - Thx.
Camping at The NJ Shore Points on Route 9 Outside of Sea Isle New Jersey
At a Campground Called Pine Haven Camping Resort
In The 80's .
I Had an 8 Person Coleman Tent That I Used an 8000BTU Window Air-Conditioner To Make it Possible To Be Very Enjoyable Both During The Day and Must Important To Be Able To Sleep in an Area That Gets Very Humid at Night .
EXMORr - sounds like you had a great plan! One of the first tents I had as a boy scout were Colemans. I like the colemans but they don't have windows to see out of like the tents coming out of Europe now. thx for sharing please subscribe and watch more videos.
That tent is badass
Donnan - thx and make sure to check out our other camping/glamping set ups that are even more extreme. And new video out later this week comparing camping to glamping tents - make sure to subscribe and share.
Wow, that's a nice tent. Thanks for sharing. Any suggestions for keeping cool when you don't have shore power?
Pozload, great question. A couple of things, first either use the generator I recommend in the Best Generator videos - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html - or use the large Ryobi fan and their rechargeable battery packs. That big fan moves a lot of air and their large lithium batteries can run it for about 14 hours! Let me know if you want to know which Ryobi and batteries. Please share, like and keep asking great questions.
Yes sir! We've been doing this for probably 10-15 years. You just cant comfortably camp in Texas during the Summer without it. It gets cold in there. It's like staying in a hotel where you crank up the AC.
Which tent are you using?
@@TheDoIcan We've been using the coleman 8 person Instant Tent.
Wow what a luxurious tent
Modern Legacy, thanks for the compliments. And this tent the Kampa Hayling 4 air is only a medium size tent. There are two other videos - Our First Air Beam Tent and the Tent Mahal that are for six person and are about 24 feet by 28 feet and both can be pitched in about 20 minutes with one person. Thanks and please like, share, and subscribe. Let us know what things about camping you want to know more about.
@@carlitoinyoass3345 The retail is about $1200 but it is on sale right now through camping world uk (not US) for about $800. In the video it also shows the mesh vestibule about $150 and the foot print and carpet about another $100 and I had added a Gorilla tarp with poles because of the rain storms about $50 bucks. In the winter we use a full clear plastic vestibule as you can see in other videos for about $150. Hope that helps. I highly recommend the carpet and foot print and one of the vestibules.
Dude you got the Taj Mahal tents I love it
Kevin - this is not the tent mahal - I have done that video - you have to watch it as our Tent Mahal tent has 11 tinted windows and three large zones - its crazy. We've entertained 12 people in our tent at one time! Thx for watching - please subscribe and share.
Great video and info, I purchased the Otter insulated Monster Lodge, it's an ice fishing tent has 8 windows about 9'x14' a door at each end, I use the Midea U 8,000 BTU AC unit, works great! to run this I built a rather large solar generator using 4 Battleborn 100 Amp Hr lithium ion phosphate batteries, Victron charge controller, a 3,000 to 6,000 surge pure sine wave inverter with 4 Sunpower 170 watt panels.
Mike, - darn that's way above my pay grade. Plus I have people freak out by simply cooling (or heating) my tents! 🙂 Actually I have a Midea 5K btu window unit that I had cooling a tent last year and will work to get a video out soon. I like the solar gen system you put together and using the lithium batteries. I have the Ryobi 4 brick 6ah 40V power station that produces about 3k watts, but I have to use a generator, car, or hookup. The power station is great for at 10pm when you have to turn engines off in parks to let it run things for several hours. Thx for your input and ideas. also, watch the other vids and provide feedback.
Ohh I need that solar generator! How's your tent, can one person set it up?
I like the way you hook up your tent .I have always thought about having an air conditioner in the tent but we can not have generators where we camp.
John do they not allow generators because of the noise? Mine runs about 60-65 decibels which is state park compliant and must be shut off from 10pm to 6am. In this video I use an electric hookup. In my last video on heating up a tent I use my generator. Check it out. Thx.
@@intentsglamping yeah because of the noise .My uncle told me that they don't want any noise .This summer I will ask the park ranger if I could have one..
looks great
Thx - more video coming using heaters, window ac's, etc. Make sure to subscribe.
Bro, you are an absolute genius 👏...and a great sales man..Hopefully, you are making your fair share selling tents ⛺👍😀
Ron - okay that is the greatest comment of the week! Everything you see in every one of our videos I have bought with my own money. I did this channel and site (intentsglampingusa.com) for two reasons 1) get my family excited about camping for a week or more by using the best tents and gear from all over the world, and 2) teach people how to start a business from scratch ("air") as I have helped thousands of business people from CEOs to employees become millionaires and multi-millionaires with their ideas, passion and businesses.
This InTents Glamping story and roadmap are all in my new book - Entrepreneur To Millionaire (McGraw Hill 2021) Mark Cuban wrote the foreword. Here is the link - Amazon: amzn.to/2WJSNYw. If you run or work in a company you must read this book - it is how to quickly create business wealth -the opposite of what ever business book teaches. Let me know if you get a copy. Thx.
Great vid!
Just 1 thing, sunlight carries heat and is the enemy of air conditioning.
Put a tarp off the side of your beautiful setup to block most or all of the direct sunlight from going through you nice windows, unless you can somehow double glaze the clear part of the window.
Regards, Jas.

Rockhampton Queensland Australia
Jas S yes that's a smart idea!
The air tube tent in this video and others all have curtains you can tab or zip up and that really blocks the sun. For the ultimate our "Tent Mahal" see the video to see the large tent has a reversible cover. One side is black to absorb heat for the winter and the other side is shiny metalic to deflect the heat! That is InTents Glamping.
In this video once the temp got down to 68 (with almost no humidity in the tent) it was almost too cold. The AC unit removed the humidity and it was not only cold but crisp like a wonderful winter day - but you could still hear all the bull frogs, crickets, birds and night sounds that you don't during winter camping. It was such an awesome experience.
Please share and let me know what other things you want to know/see/learn from our channel - thx.
Tarp master!💋
awesome.. so wide inside tent...
Yes, thanks. This is one of our favorite air tube tents.
Years ago we had renovations at our house. I used a regular tent, put a king quilt over top, taped the windows and send a unity like this one. Dead summer heat and humidity in the Dallas area is killer but I slept cool ant night.
When camping 90% of the day and early evening is outside so I would say it’s a great option for summer campers. But do insulate the tent with some reflector/insulated of sorts.
Thanks for sharing. That’s an amazing tent. Now you just need a blow up tub!
Mike, sounds like you had a good plan. Yes the heat in Texas can be unbearable when you add in the humidity. Three things kept this tent really cool, 1) the fabric has a very high denier and 6000HH, 2) the windows all have curtains, and the 3) AC unit is a beast (overkill for a tent but was just experimenting with our three car garage AC unit. I will be doing a video later this summer using a basic 5KBTU window unit with a generator. I'm waiting to see what new tent I want to do that. Thx and please share, subscribe and give us more ideas of what you want to see.
I haven't tried it yet but I have a small portable air conditioner like that and I also have a 2000 watt generator I think I'm going to give it a go it's 100° for the next week
Bryan, it sounds like you have the power gear and ac the next most important is a tent that you can seal up. Our REI kingdome 6 doesn't work as there is too much mesh. Let us know how it goes and what you learn.
Dang that's a nice set up.
Thanks Joe! Make sure to subscribe and share.
Now this I can do. I hung up the tent camping interest after I hit 40 or so, but this seems great.
Thx. That is the sole purpose of the channel and the website intentsglampingusa.com. Please share and let others know how much more fun camping to glamping can be with great tents and equipment.
@@intentsglamping Will do.
Technical camping is when you are in extreme situations like weather, height, terrain or other dangers and you need specialized gear, equipment and knowledge. If you've ever seen people camping on the side of a cliff using pitons to stabilize their set up - that is technical camping. That is different from bushwacking, roughing it or other kinds of basic camping. Hope that helps.
Thank you for the compliment NSA
Your welcome - what was the compliment?
Great, only way to be comfortable!
Brian yes. I actually prefer camping with all the mesh open to hear the forest noises and fresh air. But when it is in the mid nineties and 80%humidity it’s hard to sleep. Please share with others. I will do another video in a few months using a window air conditioner and the generators from the latest video.
Looks real sharp 👍👍👍
Thx
I needed this for my husband. He hates to sleep in the heat. I grew up without air conditioning in Oklahoma. So I’m okay with it.
Susan, trying to sleep or camp when it is hot and muggy is just miserable. I don't mind that when we are scouting or I'm camping with guys but my wife and son don't love it and it makes them want to come home after a night or two. On this particular trip/video I think we glamped for 6-7 days at 68 degrees - it was awesome. Thanks for your comments. Please share and let me know other things about family tent glamping you want to know about. Thx.
@@intentsglamping I bought my husband an xl zero gravity recliner for Christmas. I’m hopeful that if he can recline and be comfy, he will want to get out more. I also put a portable potty in a privacy tent within our big tent. I’m pregnant and have three little kids. It was a game changer last time we went.

I love the new trend of vinyl windows, thought of them years ago and wondered ever since why tent-manufacturers didn't use them. I love that now they do, but sadly only on the big tunnel tents! Still no weatherproof looking-out for those of us in more humble dwellings. Your tent looks fab, though, I love how you've set up the vestibule. :-D
MLC, thanks for the comments. As of right now only the European manufacturers (and a few others) are making tents with windows. If budget is really tight the tents with similar designs from Vango, Kampa and Outwell, etc are about 30-40% cheaper in a metal pole version. Start with something small in pole - tunnel design with windows. The quality of these tents is far superior than the low cost tents. Thx for your comments and let me know what you want to see more of.
@@intentsglamping I actually recently got a new tent - which is quite small, since it only has to house me, but definitely does not fit into the "low cost" category - so it'll be a while before I'll be in the market again. However, once I am, I hope I can get one that seals as well as yours! :-D
Personally, I am always keen for more videos about how to insulate well in Winter, & also about quick but nutritious camping meal recipes. :-)
Do you need any sort of adapter for the electric hook up, or do you just plug it in? Sorry, first time camper. Trying to figure out all we need.
Kimberly, this was made in a Texas state park using the RV site connection. Check with your park to find out what they offer. Texas has 50AMP and 30 AMP hookups and then two 120 Volt outlets. So I didn't need a converter but just ran an extension cord (you can see it in the video) into the tent. To make this work you will need a tent you can close up. Most american tents have too much mesh to close up. That is why we recommend air/inflatable tents from Europe. Our website intentsglampingusa.com shows a lot more details. Hope that helps.

Funny thing. I was looking to get AC for a tent literally because I was considering buying this type of tent. thanks for the video.

What do you have the a/c plugged into?
JK, in most cases we glamp in state parks with the water and electricity sites. I assume you could use a generator if your off the grid. The AC units do pull a lot of amps so I make sure the camp site has 30-40. I then run an electric cord into the tent and we use it for the AC, lighting, and in the kitchen for ceramic stove and coffee pot. Remember this is glamping not technical camping. Let me know if you watched my other videos and what you want to know more/see more about glamping in tents. Thx

Thx - please share - and subscribe.
I work at Eagle Bluff Resorts on the Illinois River near Tahlequah Oklahoma. We have 95+ degree temps during the summer. I found at night while camping, a fan will work just fine.
Totally agree with you when we go camping. My son and I are going this weekend and only taking a 3 person backpacking tent with a Ryobi lithium ion fan and 9ah battery packs. When we go glamping and want to entertain and be in the tent in and out during the day and it's 95 outside and can get to 100 inside the AC is amazing.
great video. I wasnt into camping but I am now. how are you getting power to the AC?
Echo thx and I hoped you subscribed and will share. In this video we are at a state park with full hook ups. In a video coming in a week or two will show how to run a inverter dual fuel generator to power things like this AC unit and also heaters and everything else.

You can buy winter tents or an A frame canvas tent so their more insulated with less mesh
PB - great idea. Let me know if you can find a winter/a frame tent with the features of the air tents coming out of Europe. My wife and friends will not camp in tents that don't have windows, zones, inner tents, etc any more. :-)
Very nice!!! Great idea man..
Lawrence, thanks for your comments. I was just experimenting using the portable AC/heater out of our garage. It worked so much better than expected - as it pulled the humidity out of the air while it made the temperature nice and crisp. Appreciate your comments please share and watch other videos.
@@intentsglamping i sure will share and like sir..i just shared with my wife.we are going bluecrab fishing this memorial week end at free port TX and spending night in surfside beach over night in tent and needed some tips thanks again for the video very helpful and i just subscribed...will be watching from now on.have a blessed day to you and yours.
@@lawrenceschoeneman9409 👍👍👍
The trick is to always dig a shallow trench around the tent so that water runs AWAY from the tent when it rains. Don't rely on the weather report; just do it. It can be easily and quickly filled back in before you leave the camp site.
Thx for the info and sharing. I wish the campers who do that would fill them in! Make sure to like, share and subscribe!
That’s probably impossible in Indiana in August after a month of no rain though. Good idea if you can.
Build a plenum for the cold air output on the AC, put a hose on it, then
put the entire thing outside, then run the hose into the tent. They build portable ACs backwards.
Yes, you could. I put the AC unit inside the tent as it rained almost 2 inches the first night. The rain would have destroyed the AC unit.
Great vid
Jeremy thx - hope you share the videos and subscribe.
In a shade maybe canvas gets warm otherwise but window openings can be adjusted and if trees are shading tent hang tarp a few feet over tent to put sun off of tent directly... Teton sports 10 by 10 or 10by 14.... mine took 70mph wind and held fast It’s the spring bar style thing Bends in the wind no matter how hard it blew
Keith, yes I totally get what you are saying and I like the suggestion. I will tell you once our family and friends experienced tents with large (really big) clear plastic windows and doors that also have mesh they will not go back to using our REI Kingdom 6 or any other tents without those windows, zones and inner tent. And besides with no poles the ease of pitching, packing and no parts is so sweet. I basic and primitive camp 2-3 weeks a year with my son and buddies - but my wife and her friends will not do that anymore after learning glamping.
We laughed at the title because my wife said she’d be hot in a tent. So we’re looking for a nice set up for our family, and to keep it cool.
That's funny. She might get cold too, so watch our latest video on heating your tent. Thx.
Air conditioned tent! Wait for me lol, BTW, loving that tent!
:-) David D, I'm not sure you have ever camped with kids or a spouse when it is over 90 degrees outside and only gets down to the upper 80's during the night with nigh humidity (heat index over 100) while sweating on top of your bed even with a fan blowing at night. Remember this is InTents Glamping not beans and beer camping.
@@intentsglamping I suffer from heat stroke and hyperhidrosis, so anything above 75 kills me lol I hate tent camping in summer in general because of the heat. I never even knew using an ac was an option in a tent, it's fantastic.
@@nhcharmedone the key is the tent. Almost all tents sold in the US have too much mesh windows, walls or doors. Our expensive REI just under a $1000 would not work for this. You must have a tent that you can seal up, however some of the Colemans you can seal up but then you get the "cocoon" or claustrophobic feeling - that's not intents glamping. I recommend tents from the UK that have windows, zones and super high grade materials. Every tent you see in all of my videos are air tube tents that can accommodate an AC OR A heater and you can then control the temperature AND the humidity in the tent. What I don't measure in this video is the humidity - there is almost none which makes the internal temp so much better and night sleeping amazing. Enjoy - please share and post more questions.
@@intentsglamping Thank you!
Now thats camping! Great video.
Nice video. All good until the power goes out I guess or if there isn't power available. We tend to camp in areas where power isn't an option.
Raymond - thx for the compliment. Please watch my video on which generator to use and why. We lost power for seven days in Texas in February with temps in the single digits and snow and ice covering everything. During those seven days we only used less than two 20lb propane tanks while heating, cooking, power charging, lights, etc in our house. We had five tanks on hand so we could have gone another two weeks. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html
We take this generator when we go off grid now and use it to heat or cool our tents. Enjoy.
Btw, with wheels as seen in the video you can take a generator a long way from the road if your camping and not car glamping.
I thought it was funny to see a fire and then see your ac lol. Cool video
Yep, grilling large 2" tomahawk steaks with potatoes baked in the embers that night - needed big fast burning fire to create large bed of embers to cook to help feed the neighbors!
Do you think you could run this on a solar power most of the time and then during emergencies cloudy days rainy days whatever use sometimes generator?
Jerry, from what I have seen and know the minimum for a small window AC is about 500 watts continuous and the solar power or power storage units barely have 2-3K watts. The other issue is how long it takes for the solar power to charge. Having said that, watch our video on which generator to buy as I ran a lot of devices (heater taking 1500 watts) during the snowmageddon and only used a couple of 20lb propane tanks for the whole week.
Extraordinary 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️😀

Jackson, thx for the kudos - please check out the other videos - and I have about 50 more coming but had to spend all my time transforming a kids playhouse into a vietnam era firebase fort which will be a future video and now testing solar panels systems.
Is there a more affordable option to this tent with the plastic windows or even a truck bed tent as I already have one but the ac unit is awesome
I think this tent as a basic tent was about $800 then add mesh vestibule and foot print and carpet for a package of about $1K. they make the same model in a non-inflatable pole tent for about $400ish. Also, watch my other videos especially on the Kampa Brean 3 it also comes in poled version for around $300 bucks - these are super high quality high construction tents - best I could find anywhere in the world and I own tents from about five different manufacturers. Hope that helps. Thx
What model is the tent in the video? I see where you have the camping world link for the UK but I don’t know what model is what you have in the video
Andrew, it is a Kampa (now owned by Dometic) Hayling 4 Air Tent (not the classic). That tent is also shown in the backyard setups and the pitching a tent while holding a beer. It is our favorite four person air tube glamping tent. I believe they also make it in metal pole version which is usually about 40% cheaper across all manufactures. Hope that helps and thanks for sharing.
Hi, I’m from the UK. I have a very similar inflatable tent, an Outdoor Revolution Airedale 5. What I do in the the porch area is not put any groundsheet down as in heavy rain it just collects the water. So what I do is put down sections of artificial grass which is ideal as it allows the water to seep through into the ground underneath and keeps that area dry and works very well. We in the UK traditionally camp on grass and that allows the water to disperse easier, rather than hard ground. I do like the idea of a air conditioner for the hotter months, although we don’t get many of them here, but it does get very warm in a tent when the sun is beating down. 👍🏻
Thanks for your input. Yes using the front ground sheet in the wet zone is an option. If we were to get rain over days or frequently then I would probably not use the ground sheet. Here in Texas we might get one storm and then nothing for the week so it is great to have the ground sheet down most of the time. Some of the ground sheets are different too. For example the outwell has a tub design in the front which was a blessing during a 2 inch downpour as the water just went around and we could have a lot of gear and things not get wet in the front zone. I don't own an Outdoor Revolution tent but they look similar to the ones we have with the Outwell, Vango and Kampa . The one you have really looks line one in the Kampa line and really high quality. Each line is a little different with features/functions/price etc. What do you like best/or why did you buy an Outdoor revolution tent?
@@intentsglamping I bought the tent about 5 years ago & it was on offer as it was an end of the line tent before the new range was released.. one of the things I liked about it was it was each air beam has a safety release valve, so when it gets warm and the air inside the beam expands it releases air automatically & stops the air beams exploding as it can do in tents that don’t have this feature & air has to be released manually. Plus the simplicity of just pumping it up & the good space inside.
@@ryszmansoundvision6572 Interesting on the pressure release valve. So far, in the five years and almost 100 days of using inflatable tents, with temperatures in the tents getting up to 126 degrees I have not see/heard a problem with the tubes. Have you actually experienced a problem of bursting or anything? When I bought the first tent late 2016 Vango I bought extra tubes just to be prepared. Let me know what experiences you've had with that. I have a tent out in the snow right now with the temps down in the single digits so it will be interesting to see how super cold weather affects tents. Its our new Kampa Brean Three Classic in polycotton with three tubes.
Also regarding bursting tubes most of the manufacturers are testing their tubes up to 22 psi but only suggesting inflation around the 7 psi range so I am really curious to hear your experiences. Thx
@@intentsglamping Hi, I’ve not had the experience of exploding air beams myself as my Outdoor Revolution Airedale 5 was my first air tent. But I’d read numerous other reviews of different models of air tents that some people had this problem. The main reason is because here in the UK our temperatures can fluctuate wildly, & a lot of campers set up perhaps about mid morning when it can be still quiet cold, & then pump up their air beam tents to the maximum psi for their particular tent, without reading the instructions carefully, then the sun breaks through & the temperature can rise significantly depending on the conditions, resulting in possible air beams exploding!
Has anyone used one of those small space ac units that you buy at walmart? Thoughts on those if you have. Were going camping this weekend and im dreading the heat.
There really is no real AC under 5K and less than about $150. It seems everything else are gimmicks. If a unit does not have a condenser then it cannot be an AC as I understand HVAC 101. Anything that requires you add water or ice is a fan pushing air. However, buy one and try and let us know how it turned out.
What year is your Kampa Hayling 4?
We just got the 2021 but it only has 1 plastic window on the side of the living room
Rachel, it is either a 2019 or 2020. I just looked at the Dometic (they bought Kampa) Hayling 4 and it appears to be the exact same config as the one in the video. There is one door panel/mesh/window one side window and one door/mesh panel into the wet section. Sometimes manufacturers make tents for different regions e.g. Zempire makes UK and NZ tents which are slightly different. Btw, depending on where you live I highly recommend the mesh and plastic vestibules. Mesh for summer and plastic for winter. Enjoy.
I might have to go camping in the mountains?. Higher elevation, where it cools off at night.
Yes, if you can do that. The problem is the mountains are about 8-10 hours away from us so that is not an option for a weekend.
First time viewer…..I really enjoyed this video. Nice setup will be getting the air conditioner! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas.
Awesome! Thank you!
What’s the difference between the kampa hayling air 4 and just the regular kampa hayling 4? Just that one is poles and the other is air? I’d like to get one. Is the regular one with the poles the same as this one as far as using the air conditioner? Thanks
Cole, great question and there are a couple of things to know. First of all the Kampa Hayling has been around for 8-10 years and it is now offered in pole, air, and technical air versions. Each version can have slightly different features and functions. So, make sure to look at the details of each model. We have/camp in both a Kampa Brean 3 Air and a Kampa Brean 3 Air TC. The TC is the highest grade material as it is a true polycotton not just a taffeta material. Our Brean 3 TC has several more features in panels, pockets, air beam support across top, etc. Each year Kampa (just got bought by Dometic) adds/changes features so the model/year can be different. The price points are based on "pole" version entry level and then Air about 30-40% higher and the TC Air about 60-100% higher than the poled version. I recommend buying last year's versions as a way to save money. The new 2023's are just coming out.
Very nice.
Thank you
I just bought a solar battery with 3 separate 600w outlets, is this enough voltage to buy any portable air conditioning units??
Amber, I don't have enough information from your question to know how to answer. Make sure to watch my video on Your Wife Is Still Hot Camping as I talk about generators and headroom. In that video I use the smallest quality AC unit at 5K BTU. It pulls about 474 watts an hour once the AC has started. That AC needs about 1000 watts to start the compressor. Also, most solar batteries or power storage units only deliver about 80-85 of the wattage it says. What solar battery did you get?
What power source are you using for the A/C? Generator, power bank or was there electric at your campsite? good video!
Berserker Rage in this video we're running off the full hook up at the state park 30amps. Since that trip I researched generators see my video -
th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html -
and I have run all kinds of things off that generator like the AC unit and then at other times an electric heater at 1500 watts and a ceramic burner going at 1700 watts.
The AC unit in video is one I was using in my three car garage for cool 15K BTU and heat (its a 10K BTU heater too) and I just wanted to test it while camping/glamping. It far exceeded my expectations. FYI - AC units and especially heaters take a lot of "starter power" for example this AC unit needs about 2750 watts to start but then runs between 500-1000 Watts. Heaters on the other hand need even more starting power and then can burn 1500 Watts on high (that's a lot of power) - so make sure to get a generator that has headroom and power and can then "power down'" or run on "eco" mode to preserve fuel. The generator in the video does all that and we have run on a 20lb propane tank for about 14 hours as you can see in that video on survival.
Btw, in most state parks you can only run generators - no matter how quiet from 6am till 10pm. Your tent should be cool enough or switch over to a power station after 10pm. Thanks and please share, like and subscribe.
Have you looked at Shiftpod tents, built for a/c
S Byrd, I have looked at the Shiftpods and they appear to be really awesome shelters and such. I would be more than happy to review them for what they are intended to do, but they don't fit our area of expertise which is family inflatable glamping tents. I will have some videos later this year that show our air tent shelter made by Vango. It has three doors and six mesh panels and can inflate in about five minutes. We have used it for shelter, cooking, dining, and storage.
May be a dumb question but what is everything plugged into for electricity? Are you on a campsite where there is electric or do you use solar? Thanks
In this video I am using the state park full hookup. See the orange extension cord going under the tent in the 30amp plug. But now, when we are off the grid, I'm using the generator reviewed in the video th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html
Off the grid allows us freedom to thousands of more campsites and full boon docking for glamping/camping and get away from the cramped RV slots but have tons of electric power. I bought this generator for glamping/camping but used it for survival.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that ordered a tent from Europe. I have an outwell XL. It does not have ventilation that your tent has and it gets hot. I am very much going to try this. Hello from Wisconsin.
Pun 1911 Yes you have joined the Air Tent Community - InTents Glamping! :-) What is an outwell XL? I will have a video later this summer - once it gets hot enough - of running a small 5K BTU window AC unit in one of our tents - or a new one from a manufacturer. I will also run it off the grid using the generator from that video to show people how to do it. Thx for commenting - please share and like and watch all our videos.
@@intentsglamping I misspoke I have the outwell Hornet XL I've had it for several years now. I really like it but it does get so hot
@@pun-nm7th I remember reviewing the Hornet XL before I bought my Outwell Clarkston 6a. The Hornet is a great tent but too little vents and mesh. The Clarkston has three three panel doors and venting under every window. The Hornet is a great tent for up north where it doesn't get higher then the upper 80's. In Texas I felt we would melt or suffocate. The latest trend in air tents - believe it or not - more air - flow. Out well has a new model coming out in 2021 June- the roseville with a ton of mesh, windows and vents - plus a removable barn door in the middle you can move to the front. We might have to get one!

What power are you running it off of batteries or campground power
Pamela - in this video I'm using - as I remember - a 13 amp ext cord which is about 75-80 feet. Make sure to watch this video I did on generators and extension cords - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html. This video will explain a lot and have the exact links to get the accessories you will need.
When you have 30 amp or 50 amp connection (state park/generator) make sure to use an extension cord that can handle the heat and the transfer. Too small extension cords can heat up and catch on fire and also lose a lot of power if they are too long. In the generator video I use a 30 amp 74' extension and then a splitter into two 15 amp outlets for two reel extension cords. Please use the Amazon links in the video description to get you to the exact ones I use in the video make sure to use those, it doesn't cost you any extra, and it helps defray costs while helping you get the equipment shown. Thx so much.
True love.
Is that true love - glamping, being cool with AC in the tent, or the InTents Glamping youtube channel? Maybe all of it? :-)

Sang, I have looked at them, watched a lot of videos and read the specs. I have found the Jackery's and the Yeti's to be large, expensive and don't hold much power. In addition, depending on the size and money you put into panels (can be expensive) it can take a lot of hours 8-18 to fully power a large battery unit. What do you do if you don't have sunshine for a few days? I think those power sources are great for electronics and small items that don't need a lot of power. As time goes by and technology improves those will really improve in power some day.
Make sure to watch my latest video on generators - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html - this is serious power, for a long time 14 hrs on a tank of propane, and clean power - propane.
Btw, I do run the Ryobi platform of battery packs for lights, fans, chain saws, and inverters for camping/glamping and house hold charge ups.
Here is the generator video link - th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html - let me know what you think.
I'm wondering how it would work with their new TC (technical cotton) fabric and whether it would be pointless to run an air conditioner inside due to breathability of thins new material - anyone's tried it even in a different TC tent?
David, I own Technical Cotton tents. And have used them in the summer and winter. The breathability and the temperature difference between TC and taffeta (poly) is negligible. It might be f-10 degrees. What is interesting is that tents with TC are usually high end tents which means you can pick up many more features. Like more panels or air venting, more windows/doors with mesh, etc. I will have a video coming out soon showing our Kampa Brean 3 TC with the extended inflatable two massive window canopy. Btw, make sure to subscribe as the new book Camping Glamping Bushcraft 101 is about to be launched.
Cool!
Yeah thanks - I'm not sure we wanted it any cooler! Please subscribe and share - thx.
What did you use for your power source?
What type of vehicle do you take in order to pack sooooo much bulky stuff? Trailer?
Douglas - in this video I am using the state park full hookup. See the orange extension cord going under the tent in the 30amp plug.
But now, when we are off the grid, I'm using the generator reviewed in the video th-cam.com/video/g77h0qYqW6Q/w-d-xo.html Off the grid allows us freedom to thousands of more campsites and full boon docking for glamping/camping and get away from the cramped RV slots but have tons of electric power.
I bought this generator for glamping/camping but used it for survival. I highly recommend having a dual fuel generator that runs over 3000 continuous watts to run AC or heater. A heater runs about 1500 watts and a ceramic burner about 1700 watts. Hope that helps.i
Btw, the latest video shows a different config (see kitchen) in this tent and where to get the specific items.
Regarding packing and hauling.
On our website - intentsglampingusa.com I talk through the four strategies to being able to take a ton of gear. Everything must be inflatable, collapsible, foldable, or versatile. What you don't see in the video is the full air tube shelter and kitchen that we took along too. I do use a cargo container on the back of an SUV and also a soft roof carrier. At sometime I will do some videos on organizing and packing as there are a lot of secrets to doing it well.
Thx for the comments and questions - please share, subscribe, like and ask more great questions.
is this still available anywhere?
