About Outwell Elmdale 5PA Tent

The Outwell Elmdale 5PA is a family tent adapted for families with two or three children. Thanks to the fact that it can be pitched by one person, it is also suitable for you who are camping alone with children. Instead of poles, it uses Outwell's Rigid Air technology, where the poles have been replaced with air channels for easy installation. The three channels are easily pumped up via the valve in the lower edge on one side of the tent. The only pole that is included is the one for the sunroof and it can be installed when the tent is pitched. In addition to the simple assembly, the tent has a durable tent fabric that not only resists rain and wind, but also rustles less than simpler fabrics when it moves. Large windows provide a bright and pleasant tent, and if you want to reduce visibility, there are curtains on all windows. The family tent's door covers the entire front, so it is easy to open the tent on warm days and use the family room as a protected outdoor space.


Outwell Quick & Quiet
A good feature is that the tent has double doors at the front. The exterior door with large windows with curtains and the interior with large mesh panels. In addition to the zipper, the inner one also has a magnetic strip in the middle, which allows you to go in and out of the tent without opening the zipper. Both doors can be rolled away to use just one or open the tent completely. In addition to the zipper, the door to one of the bedrooms also has a magnetic strip. A solution that makes it easy to get in and out of the tent during the day and to get in and out of the sleeping cabin without having to fuss with zippers.

 

Outwell Crossflow Ventilation
The ventilation at the back can be opened completely to create extra air flow in the tent on hot days or in the morning. The ventilation at the front has also been properly increased to get a better through flow. Because the large opening in the front also has a mesh door, you can open the tent completely to keep the temperature in the tent down, even if there are a lot of small insects on the move.

 

The living area

The living area is large enough to furnish with a table and chairs for five people and still be able to easily get in and out of the inner tent. The large tinted windows provide a very pleasant light throughout the room while minimizing visibility. The tent's windows are also equipped with roll-up curtains that can be adjusted in three positions, making it easy to choose how much light or transparency you want.

Outwell HookTrack System
The Outwell HookTrack System makes it easy to attach lights or other accessories to the tent. The included hooks also make it possible to hang equipment or clothes in the tent.
 

The inner tent

The inner tent consists of two bedrooms with room for two and three people, respectively, but can be advantageously used by families with two children to get extra space for packing or larger mattresses. A stronger dark fabric in the inner tent and in the fabric of the outer tent above the sleeping cabin reduces the effect of many tent campers' worst enemy, the morning sun. The inner tent also has a curtain that can be rolled down over the ventilation to reduce the light that enters through it.
 

Other

The tent has a properly sized ventilation that can be easily adjusted to get the desired air flow. The tent fabric is completely waterproof with taped seams and is flame retardant treated. It also has a sealed floor sewn to the outer tent, which protects the tent from wind, insects and dirt. The inner tent is pre-assembled on delivery and does not need to be unloaded when the tent is packed.  


Questions and answers Rigid Air / Smart Air
1. How durable are the air ducts?
The channels consist of three layers. Finally, a layer of strong polyester, then a protective layer of PVC and then comes the channel itself in TPU. The construction makes the ducts more resistant to wind than steel and fiberglass poles. It is important, however, that you only use the supplied pump and do not pump up a pressure higher than 0.6 bar as there is a risk of destroying the ducts.  


2. What happens if there is a hole in the duct or a valve breaks? Is the tent collapsing?
The ducts are separate in the Rigid Air tents and separated by valves in the Smart Air tents. So the tent does not collapse if there are holes. All channels can be easily replaced and if it is a small hole, you can also fix it temporarily with duct tape or silicone tape. Should a valve in the tent stop working, they can also be replaced.
