If you’ve been following the channel, you probably noticed something…

I haven’t used the red Sonmez Maxia 480 tent much over the last year.

There’s a reason for that.

This past weekend up at Lake Cachuma, I finally sat down and filmed my full 3-year review of the Sonmez Maxia 480 inflatable four-season tent - and I’m not holding anything back.

In this video, I break down:

- The catastrophic failure that made me stop using this tent
- Why this is the only Sonmez tent out of three that’s given me problems
- The features that STILL make this one of the most impressive tents I’ve tested
- What Sonmez absolutely nailed with this design
And whether I’d recommend this tent today after everything
