Scooda 4 people dome tent 速可搭挪威森林4人帳

After careful consideration and friends recommendation, I have decided to buy Scooda 4 people dome tent. Only Victor and the kids slept in the tent on our first camping trip. After that, we have came to realize that in order to sleep comfortably and also have enough space to move around inside, this tent can only sleep up to 3, not 4.

According to the Scooda's official website and the photo above, the tent's internal size is actually 270x270m and it can sleep up to 5 people. I think what happened in our case is that we use much longer air mattress than the one shown in the photo. Therefore there is no way we can fit the 5th person on top of our head. Because Victor is 190cm tall, we use single air mattress that is 70x200x10.5cm. In theory, having 4 of this size mattresses side by side can fit inside the tent. In reality, 3 single air mattresses is a comfortable setting allowing plenty of rooms for footing (not stepping on the mattresses which I found happened a lot with the kids) and storage inside.

Apart from the internal space not ideal for us and Victor end up bought another single fast tent for himself (which I suspect he wants to do it anyway), the tent is made really solid. We had it tested under the gustily wind at our 2nd camping trip and under the rain at our 3rd camping trip. The inner tent stay dry and intact whole night. And everyone slept like a baby!
