Savannah Air 400 vs Savannah 400 — Which Should You Choose?

The Savannah 400 uses PowerFlex® fibreglass poles rather than AirBeam® inflatable technology. It's 2.8 kg lighter, packs down smaller (L80 × H36 × W36 cm vs L80 × H45 × W45 cm), and is £255 less expensive. If you're comfortable with a poled pitch and want to save weight and money, the Savannah 400 is an excellent choice. If you want the fastest possible setup with no poles, go for the Savannah Air 400. Read our full Savannah Air 400 vs Savannah 400 comparison guide for a detailed breakdown.

Why the Savannah 400?

Lighter and more compact than the Air version

At 21.6 kg and packing down to L80 × H36 × W36 cm, the Savannah 400 is noticeably lighter and smaller than the Air 400 — useful if boot space or carrying weight is a consideration.

4,000 mm waterproofing

Sentinel Active fabric with fully taped seams and a 4,000 mm hydrostatic head provides serious rain protection — essential for South West camping where Atlantic weather can arrive quickly. Wind and rain tested to EN5912.

Two blacked-out King Size bedrooms

Midnight fabric in both bedrooms blocks out early morning light for a better night's sleep. Each bedroom provides 70 cm per person with clear access and bedroom pockets. A toggled inner divider gives flexible bedroom configurations.

Built-in front awning

The integral front awning creates a covered outdoor area for dining, socialising, and kit storage without needing a separate shelter. King pole side door compatibility adds an optional sun canopy.

Comfortable living area

205 cm full standing height, Diamond Clear windows, dual AirZone ventilation mesh doors, SkyTrack® II hanging system, lantern points, cable entry for EHU hookup, and drop-down door steps for wheelchair and pram access.
