Zempire - Pro III V2

I'm a little late to the comments here, but thought I'd share my views. I have a pro 3, and have been using it for a couple of years. It's great, since we have 4 kids and need the space. I've just returned from another trip where it rained, and having the interior space was amazing. That said, I really don't think of them as competing with other tents. I think the best comparison is vs buying a campervan/caravan etc. The zempire tents are bigger, cost less, easier to set up and store, and don't require a 4wd. Other members of our extended family have spent tens of thousands of dollars, only to have less space than we do.

Have found the Zempire air frame tents to be pretty bomb proof in my experience. I love the Oztents too - can't go wrong with them, but they're pretty long when packed.

The larger Zempire tents have airpoles, which are strong tubes that you pump up with air. I was skeptical myself until I saw one at the campground, and they're brilliant. They are quick to erect and lightweight. The pumping itself part is quick and easy until the last few PSI when you use their high pressure hand pump just to put the extra charge into it. Once that's done, they are rock solid strong.
