What to expect from a luxury glamping tent?

Craftsmanship and luxury glamping tents, something that shouldn't go separated.
When we think of luxury products we usually think of products that have been developed with care by experienced artisans, of stories of fine craftsmanship, of products which have been produced with time enough, with no hurries, products that can stand for many years to come, that can be distinguished by its high quality and that will differentiate their owners and give them a touch of distinction.

When we hear talk about luxury glamping tents it is becoming more and more common to find that quite a lot of standard tents are considered to be luxury tents only for their inner decoration or the site where they have been set up. 

But, as it happens with a luxury home, a luxury yacht or a luxury car, a standard tent can hardly be considered a luxury one, because it is not only about a fine decoration issue, it is also important to find the signs of luxury in every corner and detail of the tent.

ERebull, the  manufacturer of luxury glamping tents Ctents, has brought together several disciplines in order to produce a final product that can be appreciated for its high quality.

First of all the industrial design, Emilio Rebull who studied architecture in Canada, is the designer of Ctents. He has been working in industrial design and architecture for more than thirty years and has put to work all his knowledge on Ctents design.

The company has brought together a group of skilled workers and artisanal workshops specialized in sewing, and metal and fiberglass works like cutting, folding, mechanizing or welding.

Also the Ctents team has make a thorough selection of the materials used in the tents: fabrics, zippers, fiberglass, steel and every single component needed to produce the tent.

A care hand work, piece by piece, allows to reach the highest standards in each detail.

The result: a glamping luxury tent that can stand firmly adverse weather conditions, hundreds of assembly/dissasembly operations and last for years.

Every unit is checked before it is shipped to the customer and the experience of the clients is analized carefully in order to continuosly improve the tents design and performance.

Every detail has been thought having in mind the user's comfort; pieces that are strong and robust enough and that have been made with care and, of course, have been well designed.

A highly experienced team of craftspersons put their wisdom in every detail to reach the highest quality, so clients can be satisfied because they really get what they are paying for.

Costs reduction for mobile safari owners

With the appropiate tent, the costs for organizing a mobile safari tented camp can be significantly reduced.

Mobile safaris are at top of luxury personalized tourism offers.

But to set up a tented camp in the middle of the African bush, 400 or 500 km away from nearest village is not an easy job.

Usually, the best lodging solution you can offer to your guests at the mobile camp involves more people having to work for preparing the camp as you want to offer a better quality experience. 

Do you want to offer them a wide space inside nice tents for them feeling really comfortable? 

 Then, if you use traditional tents, you have to think on heavier and more difficult to set up tents than if you just want to offer to your guests a place where to sleep inside with minimum space needed. And if your tents have to use guy ropes then your guest will not feel as much comfortable as they could because they will have to be aware the guy ropes to avoid running into them and falling down at night while walking around the tents.

As more people you need to transport and set up the tented camp, more food and more vehicle space are needed, not only for the staff but also to carry the usual heavy tents - what implies more fuel costs –. But these are not the most costly issues, you also will have to pay for your staff personnel entering the national parks or natural reserves. So, it seems to be clear that reducing the number of persons per square meter needed for setting up the tents and the time for assembly/disassembly them, can be valuable enough and can payback fast.

The reduction of setting up and down time, can leave more time to the staff to prepare all the other services for the guests, so they will be able to devote their time to the other issues of the service more easily appreciated by the clients, like dinner or lining, while keeping your staff untired for these other tasks.

But, is it possible to find tents that can offer a wide space inside while being lightweight and can be assembled/disassembled in a short period of time?

These features and more are now offered by newly designed Ctents. 

Mobile safari owners can enjoy now: walk-in solution mosquito net protected, with a wide space inside, incredibly fast assembly/disasembly time, fewer staff per square meter needed to set up or down the mobile tented safari camp, reduced transport space and weight, the possibility to be set up the tents on any terrain without any tool needed; all that, while offering a robust structure and a comfortable space. Also there is an added advantage: as Ctents are modular, several of them can be joined together to offer a wider space to guests and to prepare a large enough dinning room or other facilities for them.

Mobile safari owners will not have to decide anymore about the balance between comfort and the ability to pack the camp into a truck, camel or mule train and move to a new camp location, thanks to Ctents exclusive structural system. 

Just in case you decide the guest have to set up the tents, the easy "color coded" and "just by hand" assembñly system can be used as a funny competition game between them.

By using these new generation tents, you can offer to your clients one step ahead in your mobile safari service while making it easier to go deeper into the African bush and to follow the migratory herds on their annual journey through the different wild open spaces or to travel with the natural flow of the wildebeest.

THE TWILIGHT OF TRAILER TENTS

What  I want a trailer tent for?

If I am thinking in buying a trailer tent, there must be some reasons for that.

1) First of all I want to have a quite large space to use as a temporary home when I am travelling with my car, van, or camper (whatever that is what I have).

2) Having a totally portable home, occupying a reduced space.

3) Being able to transport it easily thanks to its low weight.



4) Being able to assemble it in a short period of time, in order to enjoy it as soon as possible.

5) Being able to package it easily, so I can have it ready for next use.

6) Finally, having all that, at a reasonable price.

If we agree these are valid reasons to buy a trailer tent, then what we should do is to examine each one of them in order to check a trailer tent is the right answer to these challenges.

Let's check then all these reasons one by one:

1) If I am looking for space, then maybe it could be better to think of a tent, one which can offer me space enough; there are a few choices in the market.

2) A trailer tent do not seem the best answer to this need, because, even being it portable and can be placed at chosen site, I have to carry a towing all along my travel. It is not so comfortable to drive with a towing joined to my vehicle, particularly when trying to find a parking place, while driving on a winding road, going up or down mountains or near the sea shore, and is an added cost if I am taking the ferry, for instance. In addition, I need a place to park it at home. And a special driving license!

3) Most of tent trailes weight more around 500 kg or more, this is not really low weight, I have the extra cost of fuel to be able to move the trailer on the road, and it is not so easy to move when I am trying to place it on the site I have chosen and already have separated it from my vehicle. I can asure you I can find many tents much more lighter than a trailer tent.

4) Not all the tents are easy to assembly and many of them cannot be assembled in few minutes, that could be an advantage for a trailer tent, but, what if I can find a tent much more easier to assembly than a trailer tent, that allows me to enjoy 18 sqm in only 15 minutes, without tools?

5) One advantage of a trailer tent is that usually is easy to pack and as every pieces has its own place, it can be put on its place without loosing any piece. But, some tents are also very easy to pack.

6) Tailer tents are not specially cheap, also I should add the collateral costs: adequate driving license for towing, extra fuel cost, extra parking costs, space needed at home to store it, hmmmm.

If I consider the advantages and disadvantages of a trailer tent, I quickly become conscious that a good tent that satisfy all my needs is, for sure, a much more better solution. But, there is any?

Ctents

Fortunately, the answer is YES, Ctents is a tent that can be easiliy assembled, it weights less than 100 kilos, can be easily packaged and carried in any kind of vehicle (without towing!) and best of all, its price is really competitive!

So, for me the election its clear, Ctents has made of the trailer tents an invention of the past.
