Putting away a Berghaus Air 8 (or any inflatable tent)

My method for storing the Barghaus Air 8 airbeam tent.

I particularly like this with the 90s Euro rave soundtrack... I like to think back in the day Pete was larging it big time in Ibiza before he hung up his raving shoes and settled down for camping holidays... very useful vid btw.

Still watching this (and your other one - how to put up the air 8) every year, to remind us how to do it. Very helpful videos thankyou so much!

My top tip for putting tents away. After each fold i get the kids to log roll across it to get the air out. They love it and see it as a comp haha, by the time you come to roll it up it makes it very easy 😀

You my friend are a legend just put up air 6 tent for first time and got it back in bag with pump and footprint and still room for more thankyou brother

Thank you for the video Pete, after struggling to get the tent back in the bag after our first camping trip with the Air 6xl (we did watch other videos prior to going away) we ended up throwing the tent and bag in the boot separately and just coming home. Watched this video and then managed to get it in the bag on the first try, absolute lifesaver!

If this video isn’t the definition of YouTube then I don’t know what is… a tutorial video overlayed with classic euro dance and instructions! Thanks Pete for the video. Top work!

I used your video to learn how to properly put away our air tent. It's not been used in six years and I remember what a kerfuffle we had trying to get the genie back into the bottle! But now, following your direction, it's back in the bottle with room to spare for all the bits and pieces! Amazing, thank you. 🧞‍♂️

Brilliant mate. Gone from sheer frustration to joy just by following your video. Well done.

[Frankthetank]

Genuinely amazing! Saved hours of fighting and possibly a marriage 😅. So easy following this method. Thank you!!

Hi Pete A huge thank you for taking the time to make this video, I reckon it saved me 40 mins when packing up. My only additional tip to speed things up a tiny bit is to work the air out of each beam by working along each one from sealed end to valve end. A huge thank you again

Just purchased an Air 8 and put it up in the back garden for a practice. Was struggling to put it away again - until I found your video. Result! Thank you

[ianbates]

Thanks this is ace! Used this method 3 times now. The only time it didn't help was last year during a thunderstorm with torrential rain! Then the best method is bundle and go.

[Jenny-inyj]

You're my hero haha. After half an hour trying to fit it in the bag, I watched this and had it in the bag after 10 minutes with room to spare. Thank you.

[ianmcdonnell]

You are a Legend! Struggled with this tent having to fold and unfold multiple times. One watch of your video and the pump fits too!!
Both I and my marriage thanks you.

Hi Pete.
Great advice, but could I just add that if you attach the airpump - making sure it is in deflate mode - pumping it ensures the air is taken completely out of the tubes. This would make it even easier to roll up.

[andybennett]

Just a note to say a massive thanks! Packed up in a hurry in the rain, and have just aired the tent in the garden, convinced it'd never go back in the tote... Followed your guide, and have room to spare! Life saver!! :)

After 5 days at a music festival, not feeling my best, I was dreading packing up my Air 6 and porch. This video was a godsend. Thank you.

Folding both sides to the middle blocks the last of the air from escaping the beams. Suggest folding multiple times from non vent side before rolling.

Useful video Pete, thanks.
A couple of additional points. Get someone else to slip off their shoes then walk along just in front of where you're rolling the tent up, that helps easily expel the air. We also find it very useful to have piece of cord to tie the tent up in its bundle once its rolled up, then slip the bag over the tent whilst the latter is on the ground.

Many thanks for this video, we bought one of these tents I the sale and tried to put it in its bag in torrential rain in Cornwall. Got home dried the tent and put it in the bag your way. It was a breeze. 😊
