Camping assembly with a storage box and a tent

A method of assembling a camping assembly, the camping assembly comprising:

• a storage box and a tent, wherein the storage box is arranged to contain the tent in a transportation configuration and wherein the tent is arranged to be assembled from the storage box whilst remaining attached to the storage box,
• the tent comprising a canopy secured to a support structure for supporting the canopy in an assembled configuration;
• wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of lateral inflatable support members;
• wherein, in the assembled configuration, the box provides a fixed footprint about which the canopy is secured and the support structure tensions the canopy in the assembled configuration, wherein:
• the storage box has a longitudinal length extending from a first longitudinal end to a second longitudinal end,
• in an assembled configuration, the lateral support members extend laterally across the storage box and a longitudinal support member extends longitudinally along the storage box,
• the lateral inflatable support members provide a first frame and a second frame, and
• an accommodation area is arranged to extend outwardly from one longitudinal end of the storage box,
• wherein the canopy is secured to the box in the transportation configuration and the canopy is secured to the box in the assembled configuration such that the canopy remains secured to the storage box as the tent is assembled from the transportation configuration to the assembled configuration, and
• the longitudinal support member comprises a single central longitudinal inflatable support member to maintain the canopy in a taut state in the assembled configuration and the longitudinal inflatable support member retains separation distances between the lateral support members and prevents the lateral support members from being concertinaed together under stress;
• the method comprising:
• maintaining the canopy secured to the storage box as the tent is assembled from the transportation configuration to the assembled configuration;
• and
• inflating the support structure comprising the plurality of lateral inflatable support members.

A camping assembly comprising a storage box and a tent, wherein the storage box is arranged to contain the tent in a transportation configuration and wherein the tent is arranged to be assembled from the storage box whilst remaining attached to the storage box,

• the tent comprising a canopy secured to a support structure for supporting the canopy in an assembled configuration;
• wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of lateral inflatable support members;
• wherein, in the assembled configuration, the box provides a fixed footprint about which the canopy is secured and the support structure tensions the canopy in the assembled configuration;
• wherein the canopy is secured to the box in the transportation configuration and the canopy is secured to the box in the assembled configuration such that the canopy remains secured to the storage box as the tent is assembled from the transportation configuration to the assembled configuration,
• and wherein:
• the storage box has a longitudinal length extending from a first longitudinal end to a second longitudinal end,
• in an assembled configuration, the lateral support members extend laterally across the storage box and a longitudinal support member extends longitudinally along the storage box,
• the lateral inflatable support members provide a first frame and a second frame,
• an accommodation area is arranged to extend outwardly from one longitudinal end of the storage box,
• the first frame comprises three lateral airbeams comprising a front airbeam, a middle airbeam and a rear airbeam and the length of each airbeam within the first frame is different wherein the length of the front airbeam is greater than the length of the middle airbeam and the length of the rear airbeam is greater than the front airbeam and the middle airbeam, and
• the second frame comprises three lateral airbeams comprising a front airbeam, a middle airbeam and a rear airbeam and the length of each airbeam within the second frame is different wherein the length of the front airbeam is greater than the length of the middle airbeam and the length of the rear airbeam is greater than the front airbeam and the middle airbeam.

A camping assembly comprising a storage box and a tent, wherein the storage box is arranged to contain the tent in a transportation configuration and wherein the tent is arranged to be assembled from the storage box whilst remaining attached to the storage box,

• the tent comprising a canopy secured to a support structure for supporting the canopy in an assembled configuration;
• wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of lateral inflatable support members;
• wherein, in the assembled configuration, the box provides a fixed footprint about which the canopy is secured and the support structure tensions the canopy in the assembled configuration;
• wherein the canopy is secured to the box in the transportation configuration and the canopy is secured to the box in the assembled configuration such that the canopy remains secured to the storage box as the tent is assembled from the transportation configuration to the assembled configuration,
• and wherein:
• the storage box has a longitudinal length extending from a first longitudinal end to a second longitudinal end,
• in an assembled configuration, the lateral support members extend laterally across the storage box and a longitudinal support member extends longitudinally along the storage box,
• the lateral inflatable support members provide a first frame and a second frame,
• an accommodation area is arranged to extend outwardly from one longitudinal end of the storage box, and
• each inflatable support member comprises a series of linked contiguous inner tube sections, and adjacent inner tube sections are connected together by a connector comprising a connecting valve, and the connecting valve comprises a valve switch to selectively connect or isolate chambers of two adjacent inner tube sections.
