The livingroom has room to be furnished with a table and chairs and has a completely sewn-in floor, which protects against cold drafts, small insects and condensation. The tent has a large opening at the front and a smaller one at the back, which means that the tent can be opened up to ventilate the tent on hot days.

Imagine avoiding using tent poles when you are going to pitch the tent. With Outwell Starhill 6A it is possible. The only thing you need to do is attach the tent fabric to the ground, then pump up each channel with the supplied pump. Then fasten the tent lines and the tent is ready for use. Simple, smart and fast. In other words, you avoid the most time-consuming part of assembling, threading in and pitching the tent with poles. The tent has a large opening at the front and a smaller opening at the back which allows you to open the tent on hot days.
The Outwell Starhill 6A is an inflatable family tent for families with up to four children. Thanks to the fact that it is relatively light for being an air tent, it is fine to pitch alone, which means that it is also suitable for those who want to be able to go and camp alone with the children. Instead of bars, it uses Outwell's Rigid Air technology, where the bars 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. 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. The smaller door at the back provides easy access to the inner tent and can also be opened on warm days to create an air flow straight through the tent.
The living area is large enough to furnish with table and chairs for six 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 reducing 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 lamps or other accessories to the tent. The included hooks also make it possible to hang equipment or clothes in the tent.
The inner tent has room for six people but can be advantageously used by families with two children to get extra space for packing or larger mattresses. It is divided into three bedrooms (2+2+2) but the walls between the bedrooms can be removed if you want to gather the whole family in one large bedroom or divide the family into a large and a smaller bedroom. A stronger dark fabric in the inner tent and a darker fabric in the outer tent over the sleeping cabin reduces the effect of many tent campers' worst enemy, the morning sun. The inner tent also has a door at the back that can be opened to keep the temperature down in the morning or, if the location and weather permit, to lie down and enjoy the view in the morning.
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 tubes 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 tubes.
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 air tube patches or an air tight tape. Should a valve in the tent stop working, they can also be replaced.
