Only idea I can come up with is the Kyham style of pop up
tent, but I seem to remember a design with blow up "ribs"
from a few years ago - these still around?

I've been asked to recommend a tent suitable for erection
and occupation by a wheelchair user.
i.e need to be able to use the chair inside - so height is
relevant

The normal fibreglass pole/sleeve approach is a
difficulty, and throwing a flysheet over the top is
right out.

Alternatively any ideas on specific designs, or better
still a maker/tent recommendation. The camping won't be
solo, but the independence of the camper is important.

Thanks for any help on this one - got me stumped Dorzet

There's a dutch firm that sells an inflatable tent
(Karsten ?) which looks to be relatively easy from a
disabled viewpoint. I think they come with an electric
pump, and are modular.

I appreciate the independence of the camper issue. I would
wonder if the problems might occur in repacking the tent in
its bag (or a larger bag even).

The last one might be suitable for you but I think you are
looking at a lot of dosh mate.

Are you intending to camp alone? If not then an able bodied
person with you might solve the problem. However, were
someonr to request assistance in errecting a tent and I were
either on site or available, then I'd be happy to help. I am
sure most others would be as well.

As someone similarly affected albeit not all the time-I heartily recommend a
Vaude Hogan.

The above looks good.......Trust me I would not recommend a
Khyam for a wheelchair user......

Any particular model - I think the ceiling height may be a
consideration
