- This is the Jetset 10 Air Tent from Zempire.
It's an eight to 10 person tent
that packs up nice and small,
and sets up really quickly with one of these.
I'm gonna show you how to do it.
Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
Hi folks, Ben from Snowys here down
in Adelaide's leafy Eastern suburbs
at the Brownhill Creek Tourist Park.
It's a beautiful little stopover
if you're looking to get away
for the weekend,
or just wanna base yourself somewhere
to check out the Adelaide Hills.
I'm down here today with a Zempire product.
This in front of my here
is the Zempire Jetset 10 Inflatable Air Tent.
I'm gonna show you how to set it up
and pack is away today.
When it's packed away like this as it comes,
measures about 70 centimetres in length
and about 40 centimetres in diameter.
It depends on how tightly you roll
it up when you pack it away again.
And it weighs in at about 22 kilos
is what I measured this one at.
I'll start by showing you what comes in the bag.
So, inside the bag,
which is a pretty handy bag,
it's got some compression straps on it
and then tapers right open at the end here,
so it's really easy to get the tent back inside.
It's all wrapped up
with a couple of compression straps here
with metal D rings.
You get these metal poles here,
which are for your awning at the front.
And these come in a really cool bag.
I just wanna mention this,
these ends of the bag, on both ends,
are actually padded with reinforcement inside,
so when these poles are wrapped up inside
the tent it's not gonna cause any damage,
or these aren't gonna put holes in any of the fabric.
You get a bag of pegs and guy ropes.
And this is the main tent,
and the fly all attach in together as one.
And this here is the pump that you use to set it up.
Now you gotta assemble this a little bit.
There's four parts to it.
You've got the main pump,
you've got a pressure release valve,
and you've got a actual pressure gauge.
So we wanna instal this in the following order.
We go, there's an deflate and an inflate,
so we want to put this on the inflate side.
We put our pressure release gauge in to start with.
This releases air at 9 PSI
so we don't overinflate the air tubes.
And then we attach the pressure gauge
to the pressure release gauge,
and from there we attach our hose into the pressure gauge.
And that is ready to inflate the tent.
(fabric rattling)
The next step is to grab the main portion of the tent
We're gonna spread it out and we'll put
the four corner pegs in place first.
(hammer tapping) (zipper screeching)
So we just wanna make sure we've got our door zipped up.
Now I've got the tent already facing this way.
There's two door at the front
so I want my tent facing that way.
So that's all set up good to go.
I zip these up so that as the tent inflates
it take the right form
and we're not causing any undue stress on the zip,
so make sure your door are done up.
And before I go any further,
I just wanna show you these poles.
I'm actually snip the zipper on this
and show you what they look like inside.
Now there is actually a bladder contained in this fabric,
and there are zippers that are sealed with a cable tie.
I'm gonna snip this today.
You'd always wanna put the cable tie back on there
because you don't want the zip
to undo while the bladders are inflated.
But gonna do this for you now
to show you want they look like inside.
So, this is a synthetic material on the outside.
If I unzip this we can see on the inside we've got
this clear, quite a thick,
durable rubbery bladder in there.
That's concealed within,
there's actually three layers here,
this is a polyethylene material,
this is two or three layers of that.
And then on the outside is a nylon material
that feels like it's actually laminated
to the polyethylene on the inside as well.
So that's what contains the bladder inside,
so they're well protected
and very little chance of a puncture actually happening.
I'm just gonna push these in zips to the bottom
'cause I don't want them separating
in the middle while the bladder's actually inflated.
I don't have anymore cable ties to do it up again today.
So I grab my pump,
we come down to the inflation port.
Now there's actually two of these.
we only need to inflate the tent from one of them.
There's one on this corner,
and one on the opposite corner over here as well.
We wanna make sure the inflation port
that we're not using is done up,
otherwise we're pumping air in one and
it's just coming out the other.
So I've got it tightened on the other side there.
Now there's two levels,
or two different caps to these ports.
If I take the whole thing out
it's in sort of deflation mode,
so the air will all escape out of there now.
If I put that cap back in there and remove the top cap,
it becomes an inflation port whereby underneath
this top cap here there's a little one-way valve
that allows air to go in and won't escape out.
We grab our pump,
we put the little adapter on the end here, like this.
That fits snugly or neatly inside the port there,
and we can start pumping.
Now, the bladders inside here can take up to about 30 PSI.
The tent only needs about seven to nine PSI
to be inflated properly.
On a warm day about seven PSI,
on a cold or particularly windy day,
go up to nine PSI.
This valve on here will start releasing pressure
at nine PSI so we can't overinflate the tent.
(pump hissing) From here we start pumping
until the tent sort of gets half inflated then we stop.
So let's get to that stage.
(pump hissing)
Okay, now I've probably been pumping for about a minute now
and the poles are starting to get firm.
We wanna stop at this stage here
and just give the frame and little bit of help to pop up.
The six poles come into a central point.
If they get twisted we can run into problems.
So I'm just gonna step in now
and just straighten the frame out.
(fabric rustling)
So I'm just gonna straighten that out.
I know that that hub in the middle
where all six poles are coming together isn't twisted
so I can keep pumping now.
But I will just keep an eye on things,
make sure it's taking shape properly.
(pump hissing)
(fabric rustling)
(pump hissing)
We're not completely inflated yet,
but I've just walked around.
The frame's starting to take shape.
I'm just looking up underneath here
to make sure the poles aren't twisted.
Other things I noticed,
first time this is being pumped up,
was the fly was done up a little
in the corners and it was kinda pulling the frame down,
so I just loosened the buckles on the corners there.
And the other thing is
to maybe make sure you've got a door
or a little access port like this
where air can come in because
it was trying to suck into the tent
as the frame was going up,
might get a little bit awkward,
so just a few tips for first time setups.
(pump hissing) I can now go and complete
the inflation of these poles up to seven to nine PSI.
So this valve here is now started releasing air.
As I'm pumping the air's coming out of the top of the valve,
which indicates that we're up to nine PSI,
though the valve's only showing
about seven-and-a-half to eight,
so it's a rough indication.
I'll also mention while I'm here,
this is a double-action pump,
so it pumps air in as you pull up and
as you push down as well.
So we're good to go now.
We can take the pump out of the valve here.
Being a one-way valve air's not gonna escape.
We can put the cap on.
And that's our frame all inflated.
Just go around the edges now,
put the pegs in the corners of the fly,
and then we can set the awning up.
So I put four pegs in around the base,
two on each end and one in the rear here.
This is our rear storage vestibule.
I've got a number of guy ropes we can use as well.
There's one here to sort of pull
this out a bit and create more space at the back here.
And there's three guy ropes along each side,
which we should always put in
to give maximum stability for the tent.
Once we've got them in place we can
go around the front and I'll show you
the different options for the awning.
So I've got all the guy ropes in,
there are a few extra guy points
that you can put in around the base
of the tent as well,
and now we can set up the awning
or the vestibule at the front.
Now I've got a number of options here.
Firstly, we can just peg it out
like a storage awning like this.
We've got peg points here,
and another peg point just here.
So we can actually peg this out
as a little sort of storage vestibule.
We've got an access door here if we want want it.
If we wanna peg it out the way.
(zipper screeching)
Then we can unzip.
And this creates not a big space to stand in,
but if we were to peg this out
we would create a weather protected storage
or vestibule to store your gear in.
Probably the better alternative is to set it up
as a gull wing awning.
Now there's another zip that runs up the middle here,
so we can actually set it up sort
of half and half if we like.
There's eyelets in all these corners.
So you've got quit a few options with the vestibule here.
We could peg this one out as such,
and then peg this one out as sort of shade on half the tent,
or we zip all of this together and set
the whole thing up as one large awning at the front,
which is what I'm gonna do for you now
with the included poles.
It's a bit of a jigsaw putting these awning poles together,
but what I've work out is all the short section make
the long centre pole,
and the long sections make the two short side poles.
Now you get three long guy ropes that come with your kit.
They go over the top and each of these poles.
You get two shorter guy ropes as well,
and they hold the little sort of gull wings out on the side.
So we can now start putting our awning up.
That's the Jetset 10 all set up.
A few things I'll mention is that
if you've got the awning set up like this,
you probably only wanna use it for shade,
not for actual rain protection.
You have got a zip down here that give you
that versatility to set up one side or the other,
but obviously water is gonna leak through here
and it does scoop down a bit here,
so it's gonna actually pool water.
One other thing I haven't mentioned yet,
or haven't shown you,
is that you can actually set the inner up
by itself without the fly.
This fly sheet is attached with a clip down
the bottom here to the inner tent,
so that's easily attached on the base.
And then as you move up it's just attached around
the air pole system with these loops,
and as you get onto the top here,
it's a bit hard to see,
but there are little tabs here that just attach
it on the corners like this.
So the fly is easily removed,
but the real benefit of the air tent
is that you can set it all up together
and you can pack it all up together.
You're not gonna damage the fly rolling it all up,
so it makes set up really quick and easy.
That's how you set up the Jetset 10 Air Tent from Zempire.
Pack up is probably easier than setup.
So the first thing I'm gonna do
is take all the awning poles out,
and all the pegs and guy ropes for the awning.
Take all the pegs around out from the base of the fly.
Before we let the frame down,
we just wanna make sure we've got both doors zipped up.
So I've taken all the pegs out for the base of the fly.
I've got all my pegs and poles pack away.
I've disassembled the pump,
or I've at least taken the pressure release valve and
the pressure gauge out and packed that separately.
Now's the cool bit.
We get to let the air out of the frame here.
So we come to one of these ports here,
and this top section that we used to pump it up before,
we leave that done up and we actually undo
the lower bit just above the black valve
that you can see there.
(air squeaking)
As we do that, air is gonna rush out really quickly,
it's gonna make a really cool gushing sound.
(air gushing)
And the tent is just gonna collapse down in front of us.
So that's the tent collapsed down.
Now I am gonna also undo the valve on the other side there
so that as we're rolling it up
it gives another point for the air to escape.
I can then go ahead and pull the four pegs
out of each corner,
and start to roll it up and put it back in the bag.
Now this is the real beauty of the air tent
as we can leave everything attached here.
The fly sheet's in the middle there,
I can just throw the guy ropes and everything there
in the middle, roll it all up together.
Now I'm gonna roll from this side towards the valves
on that side so any air that's left in the air poles
is being squeezed out as I go.
I've got my bag here for a rough guide
on how long it needs to be.
I just fold this up until it's about
the length of the bag,
roll it up and it'll go back in nice and easily.
That is how you set up and pack away
the Jetset 10 Air Tent from Zempire.
I reckon I can probably roll that up a little bit tighter,
get it back in the bag even easier,
but it certainly wasn't a struggle as it is now.
I reckon these are the ultimate family camping tent,
'cause they set up really easily,
they pack away even easier,
and they're not too big in the boot of your car.
