Sleeping in pop up roof

Okay so I am very new to this and this is a very stupid question but its just me and three kids and can’t find the answer online! I’m planning to have two kids upstairs in pop up roof with flap closed (no cat flap) and two downstairs. If all the vents upstairs are zipped closed and flap down is it safe for sleeping re air quality or do flaps need to be open?

Hi, welcome aboard. :)

I've slept upstairs with Mrs B and had no problems with air supply, but (of course #-o ) can't remember if the vent was open. :?

Since I guess you won't be doing this until spring I'd just leave the eyebrow vent at the front open a bit, more ventilation if it's a scorching summer.

The little round, spring loaded, cover near the sliding door is so you can shove your arm up and wake sleeping babes in the attic. :wink:

I'd recommend a Meet if you can make one, all family friendly and lots of help and advice from old lags if needed, great frienships to be made, too. 8)

There are ventilation pockets at the rear of the tent, they open into the space behind the aft hinges. My wife slept up there all the time (other than when driving :-) ) no problems what so ever.

Makes sense Geoff.

I couldn't imagine they would build a sleeping area which would be sealed off to suffocate occupants. 8)
