Hi. Im new. Im not from anywhere cold, Im from Louisiana. Ill try to keep this short
Ive had more than a few tents over the years, and have really gotten tired of how flimsy they are. Ive snapped, and have decided to buy the best tent there is.. that I can even remotely afford. Im pretty much settled on the Artic Oven 10 w vestibule.
Im not worried about the weight, Ill be car camping mostly.
1. Id like to know preferably from someone who has either had one or at least used one, have you ever used this tent in above 50 degree weather?
Ive seen a few people saying that it is unberable to stay in the tent in anything over 30 degrees, but the thing about it is, that almost everytime I have went camping, I very rarely go inside the tent anyway, cause Im so excited to be in the woods.. not the tent.. I do need to sleep in it at night obviously, and the temps, usually drop at least to 70 degrees in the summer.. I might not even go camping in the summer, around fall and winter and early spring the temps at night still get to about 32 even down here in Louisiana. Im usually freezing my butt off at anything close to 50.. I know you guys who have been in -50 degree weather think this is hot weather, but for me its not..
2. How does the rain fly cover hold up against Uv rays? Does it get brittle or something over time?/How long? If I was to camp out in New Mexico or something.. Part of the reason why Im buying this tent, is cause I want 4 season tent, and the toughest I can get. I do need a floor so no wall tents.
3. Im slightly confused about the durability of the tent... It almost $2300 but they almost insist you get the floor saver and footprint, which I almost always use anyway.. but Im slightly worried is the floor of the tent that sensitive that you almost have to use the floor saver? Is the material they use not durable already? For such a heavy and pricy tent? How has your held up against walking in boots, or having chairs inside?
4. I dont get their warranty either. $2300 tent but its seem like their attitude is "as is" ..I would think they would treat me like a king even if I have a problem 3 years down the road, given the fact that I paid $2400 for a tent..Have you dealt with the warranty issues? What did you have to pay for?
5. Does the stove jack have a flap on top to cover it in case its pouring rain for hours?
I probably had more questions, but forgot them.. might come back to me later..
I greatly appreciate you guys' time.
