Easy Pitching – Which is the simplest inflatable tent to inflate? However, I’ve tried to take that into account in how I show the results. So, by being the smaller, the Ravello should be easier and faster to pitch. For example, the Vango Ravello 500 is a smaller weekend tent the others are large family holiday tents. The tents we tested were the Outwell Montana 6SA, the Vango Ravello 500, the Coleman Valdes 6L, and the Zempire Aero TXL.
