Why 5 PSI
Firm cabin at the factory setpoint — doors and walls hold overnight, matched to the pump in the bag. Inflate to 5 PSI. First inflate typically ~8 min to ~4 PSI. A clear number beats a bag with none.

Why these choices
Why these choices
Shape first, then the airframe. 0.3 mm welded TPU chambers.
Why welded 0.3 mm TPU beams
Premium welded TPU airframe: strong and airtight. Lighter than thick PVC pillars, packs cabin-in-a-bag.
Why this cabin shape (3×4×2)
Standing height and real floor for living — beds, kit, and a clean envelope for heat and light. A cabin you use, not a party dome. Volume first; the beams wrap the room.
Why Oxford 210D outer · 420D floor
210D Oxford outer over the welded airframe. 420D floor where boots and gravel hit. Lighter shell, harder-wearing ground.
Why stove jack
Stove jack for heat and cooking.
