Camping Trends 2020

Inflatable tents are quick to put up, easy to pitch and dismantle. More than just a phase, inflatables are improving as they continue to grow in their niche market. Inflatable tents are easy for a single person to erect which make them perfect for a solo parent to manage on their own.

Inflatable tents (or air tents) use inflatable beams instead of poles made of steel or fibreglass. The air beams are built into the tent and can be inflated by a hand pump or a powered pump.

More than just easy to erect, air tents also offer versatility. Kiwi Camping has just launched two new air tents, the Falcon 9 Air and the Falcon 6 Air. Both have doors on 3 sides, meaning all rooms can be opened up to allow for air-flow and easy accessibility. Now you can adapt your tent to your campsite! The fly that covers all the doors can be zipped together and erected into a porch to extend your outdoor living area.

The majority of campers (around 97%) like to stay connected when out camping. So how do you stay powered up while getting away? Power banks are important, not for just staying socially connected, but for safety. If your smartphone loses power, then it's important to be able to power it up to contact help. The Kiwi Camping 5 Elements Lantern with Power Bank brings a lantern and power bank together in one unit. Simply charge it up before you go away and you're covered!

While the 5 Elements is a more traditional lantern, Kiwi Camping also offer more compact lanterns too. The Kiwi Camping Aura LED Lantern with Bluetooth Speaker combines a power bank, an LED lantern and a Bluetooth speaker together in one unit!
