New Tent

[wheatonFJR]

Very nice tent. Seeing the pic of you standing in it means it must be at least 4 feet tall. :lol:

Watch out now...he's bound to punch you in the knee now.

BTW, sweet tent set up!

I guess those door panels have screens if you actually wanted to do something like, oh, I dunno.... let air into the thing?

The vestibule is open floor. The sleeping area has a screened entrance from the vestibule and from the outside, so yes.

Man, I never knew this existed. It is very sweet. Goes up in about 5 minutes I hear. 77 inches tall at it tallest so a good six feet in the vestibule.

Saw a little awning kit to tie the garage doors up and out if you wanted to play cards, perform maintenance, etc. damn. Would be difficult to erect with much wind, as it is quite a large sail.

Me Likey, nice purchase.

All the awning kit is is two shock poles and tie downs. I already have that stuff. Go to the Redverz website and take a look at the video of the guy setting it up in 40 mph wind. pretty impressive. I had no wind and went about the setup methodically to just learn the tent, so I took about 20 minutes to set it up. I know I could easily cut that in half the next time.

Hmmmm...nice tent. I have been eyeing that one out for years.

I wonder, can 2 bikes (FJR's) squeeze into the "vestibule"?

If not, I guess Jim's bike will have to be out in the elements........poor Jim.

That's the doors I was asking about, ventilating the sleeping area.

If you took all luggage off you might be able to. It would be tight, though. I know I saw some shots of two duel sports parked together. I have a cover for the bike. I may not even use the vesitbule for the bike. It provides a nice roomy covered area. Throw a tarp down and it can be completly dry.

OMG... I'm seriously glad I didn't have lunch in my mouth.

Poor Jim is wright. I'm guessing he'll have to carry the tent also. :weight_lift:

That puts my $120 REI Passage 1 to shame. However, it did survive my son's 550 mile hike across Spain last year - still looks new and only weighs about 3 lbs.

I suppose I could just buy another one for the bike, but I have a bike cover in the Smuggler

That is a really nice tent set up. Due to the ground being so hard and my back always being so stiff (despite many different sleeping setups) I have since taken to the trees. By that I mean I sleep exclusively in a hammock. But this tent has me really reconsidering. Damn, I really do like it. Decisions decisions.
