Camping with the family? With the right equipment, this can be the most wonderful way to spend your vacation. The question of the right tent arises right at the start of planning your vacation. The choice depends on a fundamental decision. Do you want to split the family into two or three smaller tents or should everyone stay in one family tent?
The advantages of large family tents compared to smaller tents at a glance: They are a lot more spacious, have two sleeping cabins depending on the model, often have standing height and have spacious vestibules with at least two separate entrances. This means that nobody gets in each other’s way, there is enough space for your luggage and, should it rain, you have room to play games or eat. A touch of living room in the middle of nature!
Stand-up family tents have to meet different requirements than trekking tents. Weight and pack size are less important than sufficient space. With an overall length of 6.70 meters and a width of 2.60 meters, the Tatonka Family Trek II family tent offers outdoor enthusiasts sufficient storage space, room to sleep and a huge “lounge” for eating and games. The sleeping cabin is designed for three people, and a further sleeping cabin for three people can be hooked into the extra-large vestibule. With an overall length of 5.00 meters, the Family Camp from Tatonka is somewhat more compact, while the sleeping cabin provides ample sleeping space for three to four people. This tent can also be extended with a tent extension to create another sleeping cabin. The 3-person Alaska 3 Plus tent from Tatonka has a standing-height vestibule and the sleeping cabin is 1.65 meters high.
If the family tent is also to be used on a cycling or canoeing tour, for example, models with a trekking tent height of 1.15 meters that weigh less and have a smaller pack size are ideal, for example the compact family tent for 4 people Buffin 4 with a sleeping cabin and two small vestibules or the 4-person tent Alaska 4 PU with a sleeping cabin as well as a small and a large vestibule.
The family tents Alaska 3 DLX for 3 people and Alaska Family DLX for 4 people have a height of 1.40 to 1.50 meters, whereby the 4-person tent is equipped with two separate sleeping cabins.
All Tatonka family tents have a tunnel tent construction and can therefore be set up quickly and easily. Particularly practical: the inner tent is hooked into the outer tent and is simply pitched at the same time. The tents are supported by parallel poles; the tent takes its shape by being tensioned lengthways.
Tatonka only uses high-quality and durable tent materials.
For the outer tents, four-layer PU-coated polyester with a water column of 8,000 mm is used on the inside. The material is color-fast and has good UV resistance. The waterproof groundsheet is made of PU-coated nylon with a water column of 10,000 mm. This ensures that no water can penetrate the tent even under pressure from sitting or lying in it. The inner tents are made of air-permeable nylon material, and high-quality bug beater mesh with over 1,000 holes/inch² is used for the entrances, which can be closed separately with mosquito netting, and the mosquito windows in the inner tents. Tent poles are made of lightweight and break-resistant aluminum alloys.
