No doubt! I can't wait to connect my Koala 7! And I also have been informed by RBM that the Koala 7s they have now, are the updated version with an opening in both the front and back, so I'll be making a video of one of those very soon!
This thing is AWESOME! Even with no other tents connected to it, it's an awesome big cabin tent all on it's own. Did you do a video of this interview? How cool!
I first became aware of Coody inflatable tents about 2 years ago and have been more than a little in love with them ever since, even tho I have yet to buy one. I am a 70 yr old female who has been an avid tent camper my entire life and until recently always camped alone, so ease of set up and weight of tent has always been a primary factor in my tent purchases over the years. As much as I love the Coody tents, I'm not very likely to actually buy one for these reason...I cannot lift or set up these tents buy myself. I currently own a Coleman 10x10 tent that I can lift, carry, and erect my myself, it weighs around 25 lbs. It has telescoping legs and can be set up in under 1 minute, not counting staking time (although I rarely stake it down). My interest in Coody tents revolves more around the idea of possibly providing a semi-permanent shelter for my younger sister, who is homeless on the mean streets of SoCal, living in a van. I have offered her a place to live with me here in north Idaho, but she does not want to leave friends, family, and warm weather behind and has chosen to stay homeless rather than leave behind her comfort zone, which a part of me understands. But if we could find some land where she could stay inexpensively, maybe with access to electricity, water, and a sewage dump, it seems to me Coody tents could be an option. A few of the smaller tents zipped together could possibly provide her with a shelter that could be heated, provide her cooking and food storage facilities, as well as a rudimentary bathroom. I haven't floated this idea past her yet, still watching videos about inflatable tents...
hey Lora, not sure how I wound up here tonight, but I read your post and it made me smile. If your sister lives in a van, then she is NOT homeless. Of course, if she is having some mental issues, that is a concern, but if she is doing okay and likes her van, then she is exactly like me. I had to get out of a horrible marriage after 30+ years with nothing but my car and my clothes. I now live in a van and travel all over the west coast. Not saying it's as beautiful as Idaho, but man your winters are brutally cold. Not sure a tent would be the way to go in super cold weather. At least a van has real protection and I must say, I am happy in my van during thunder storms. Anyway, hope your sister is well. Most Van LIfers look out for each other so I'm sure she's fine. Sorry about any typos, but texting on my phone is harder and harder each year I get older. cheers. Tosh Allan
@@ToshAllan Tosh, my sister is indeed homeless, sorry to say. She did not choose to live in a van, but it's the best she was able to put together for herself when she finally cleaned up after 2 decades of severe drug addiction. She doesn't travel anywhere, unless I pay for her to board her dog and fly to Idaho to visit with me (she is in SoCal). I pay for her phone service, her van insurance, her yearly registration tags, and a myriad of other small expenses that arise that she cannot pay for out of her monthly (small) SSI payment. She has a safe place to park each night in a monitored church parking lot, but must leave each morning by 6 am, so she drives her van to a large homeless camp a few miles away, stays there until the church lot opens at 6 pm, then drives back to the church, about 6 miles round trip each day. She is not living the "Van Life" in any way remotely comparable as to how you are, although I appreciate your attempting to defend her situation as a lifestyle choice.
I just randomly started getting suggestions of Korean glampers using these tents and blow up beds and they are super cool minus the price 😅. The wood stoves they have over there are super cool too. Can’t see to Find them here.
yeah they have a lot of stuff that's not available to us here in the US. RBM Outdoors has the Caminus M wood stove and it's awesome, I have a few videos up with that one.
Hey man, Coody upgraded their 17.2 & 13 models to remove the center partition and allow both ends to be completely removable and allow for that exit both ways if wanted. I ordered mine from Oliezi as they had the upgraded models. Just a heads up I imagine RBM will be getting the upgraded ones soon as well
Great video! But I am confused. You are cold weather campers but I thought the PVC and TPU would crack below freezing?? Can you please clarify? Thanks!
The biggest thing to remember is that if you're actually out there camping in it, it's only going to be for a few days and you have a wood stove burning the whole time, keeping the tent at around 70 degrees inside, which is being absorbed by the makeup of the tent, so the weather is going to have less of an effect on it. Kind of like if you have exposed plumbing in an rv with no heat, that plumbing is going to freeze and crack, but if youre "camping" in the rv and have the heat running, the plumbing itself is going to stay way above freezing, and will not be damaged by the weather. If you set up your tent and leave, and just let it sit there freezing, you're going to damage your tent.
Not silly..AWESOME! lol! So I don't think they are made in a way that two hubs can be docked together, but where there's a will there's a way lol, and what I'm thinking is if you can dock a Panda Large to the hub, then you can dock a hub to each end of the Panda, since both ends of the Panda open, and then you can dock SIX more tents to them LOL! It would be a like a MARS colony lol
Thank God for an American camper I appreciate all of the links I'm just not sure a out the tent link they have 4 things to click please let me know is it 1,2,3,4 thanks I about to subscribe
The link should take you to the website, then you can hit "Inflatable tents" and scroll down all the way and there are two Hubs, one Beige and one Khaki 😊 both are the same just different colors
Nate. Am I right saying that RBM are supplied by Coody. And add their logo to the product. Am also correct saying that RBM and a little splurge to the tents. Zip pulls, better hammer and ground stakes kit & possible carry bag. Only ask as the delivery to the UK is actually cheeper ordering it through Coody Australia 😲. I know... Would you say that RBM and Coody fabrics are identical? As always great video, great enthusiasm too💪🏻.. C u in the next one 👋🏻👋🏻
So, I think the Coody tents they sell are shipped as they come from Coody, cause I believe the little extras I've received, like the hammer and knife tool, and the awesome little zipper pulls, have come with the Panda and the Hexagon, which both are strictly RBM tents. Now I know that there are Koalas out there with the RBM logo on them instead of Coody, but I honestly dont have any knowledge of why, I'm just guessing that maybe it was more of a bother to get them in and add their own logo, than to just get them with the Coody logo? So yeah I think if you order from Coody Australia, you will get the exact same thing you would from RBM, just without the middle man.
I'm sceard to use the ropes to hanh anything on it😂when I clicked on the link which when is the tent is it the 1st option when it says four seasons also I need the link for the inflator thanks big brother
Hi This PAPA'S OFF GRID ADVENTURES Do your hub have a air conditioner vent for the tent or a attach door with the inlet and outlet for your AC All of COODY tent have them This come with a stove jack God-bless you thank you
I'm always concerned about the durability of these tents. There is not enough guylines for high wind conditions and you would probably need extra interior poles for heavy snow load. Don't know how they would hold up in long-term extreme conditions.
So I've had similar comments about the snow loads, and it makes me think a few things, for one, unless you're planning on leaving it alone, set up in heavy snowfall for a long period of time, I don't think it would be an issue. With the pitch of the roof, I could see a little accumulation, but I think it would slide off naturally for the most part, and if you're inside, you'd just simply slap around on it and it would knock the snow off... in theory. Now if you're using the rainfly I would think it would really slide right off and probably not have any accumulation at all, just because of the material. I'll hopefully be camping in some heavy snowfall this winter, so I'll definitely film whatever happens if im under those circumstances. As for wind conditions, I've seen a few videos on here with some seriously crazy wind, and while the tent is being set up it's blowing all to hell lol, but once it's set up it seems to be pretty solid for the most part, but I've also seen a few where the wind is really laying down a beating, but... honestly how often are you going to be in that type of wind? Just my opinion, I don't have experience with high winds, but I would think the way it's tied down would be more important than adding anymore guy lines. If I'm thinking correctly there are 7 guy lines around the perimeter, 3 on each side and one at the peak in the front and back. The D rings are sewn in pretty solid, so if your knots are tight, ropes are string, and you're using the right stakes, like those big corkscrew stakes, I think you'd be just fine.
@@luxurytentcamping I have seen other videos when even camping overnight the roof collapsed with similar designs from heavy snow. A few internal poles with a top that won't pierce the tube seems to work if you don't mind poles in your way. The wind is the biggest deal for me as I live in an area with sustained wind 30-50-mph for a few months out of the year. Have had many different designs just get flattened in the wind. A tent with good fiberglass poles will usually pop back up. Domes are the best with about a dozen tie-downs. I have also seen a dome air-tent but don't know any specifics. $2K for a 12x12 tent is pretty steep.
@@Greasewood-Flats oh wow thats crazy, you could look into the RBM Hexagon, that one has a pole you can put in the middle, it's not an inflatable tent, it has solid aircraft grade aluminum poles that pop it into place. Can't remember right off hand how many lines it has though.. maybe one on each side I think?
The US glamping game is weak. It’s taking forever for the Korean brand tents to be available. And the pricing in ridiculous. I have the koala 7 aka Coody. Cost about $2500. Been waiting for docking connections. I bet it’s coming at a pretty penny. Although I love my tent, sometimes I wonder if I should have just gotten a nature hike for $750. Issue is they don’t come with the amazing clear windows the Korean tents do.
Well this hub is available right now from rbm, It might be a pre-order actually but they get stuff pretty quick. It does come with one connector, i ordered 3 more from another company cause rbm doesn't carry the connectors individually. Honestly knowing how America works, when we get "American" glamping tents they will probably be much cheaper but MUCH less quality.
@@luxurytentcampingto attach the Koala 7 or Koala 5 on one end of the hub and put the regular canvas front from the 7 or 5 with the “door and windows” on the front. Might be personal preference but I like the look and working of the “door” instead of the full unzip of each cover of the hub to use as the in and out
@J.W.Slusser oh I think I see what you mean, yes definitely, the connector zips to the hub, but just drapes over the koala, so you could definitely leave the Koala door in place

Perfect showcasing. Build your own tent kingdom with our tents!
YES! Kingdom is the perfect word!
👏🏾 RBM stepped their game up! This is 🔥🔥🔥! I'm super excited for this!

Wow really enjoying these tent videos!
i can't wait to see you attach other tents to this
Great video! And you’re looking very healthy, Nate. Love the orange sweater! Blessings
I have the Coody 7 and I am getting the hub for sure!
Wow that's really great I can't wait to see something cool be on look out.
You are amazing. Thank u
3 only unless there is a better option like a panda that opens at both ends.
I'm really hoping I can connect the Panda Large as both ends open on that one.
I am soooo jealous! I just did and interview with RBM Outdoors and I mentioned this tent. I want this for the Panda Large.
This thing is AWESOME! Even with no other tents connected to it, it's an awesome big cabin tent all on it's own. Did you do a video of this interview? How cool!
@@luxurytentcampingthe interview was recorded.

Oh man you got the coodys. Bet ya already heard that. Seriously it looks like a really nice tent.
that's one big tent , with the other attachments it's huge...you could lose Marion in that one ...happy new year to you guys
Can you use the doors from the Koala 7 on the Hub?

Hi can you lock the zippers together mines can connect how much was it thanks
I think this tent is bigger than my first apartment! 😂
you can add 2 Koala 7 on the side and on the back door, another hub. .... and so on and so forth ...
