Campa Expedition Tent vs AutoHome's OverZone

[jsmoriss]

Decisions, decisions... I'm ordering a Campa trailer and I was planning on buying the OverZone tent http://www.autohomeus.com/rooftop/overzone.php with it's awning/changing-room, but the Campa Expedition tent is very similar -- and has a floor in the kitchen area (a good thing)...

AutoHome is fairly well known, where-as the Campa tents are not, so it's a tough decision... Does anyone have any experience with the Campa tents?

We're going to be camping mostly up in the north-east (Quebec, Canada), so bugs, rain, mud, humidity, and hot summer days are the norm. Which one do you think would be best?

Thanks,

Campa tents are really beefy and custom made. I doubt that any tent is higher quality. There will be some comparable but not better. A bonus of the campa tent is that the room has a floor and the side walls unzip and can be staked out for increased air flow or serve as awnings when used with poles. One night on out baja trip we camped out a little below the high tide line mistakenly and when we got up in the morning we noticed that the 35" tires on the jeep had a water line about an inch about the bottom if the 15" rim. No one sleeping on the floor inside the campa unit got wet at all. Plus if there is ever a problem you can unzip the canvas from the frame and send it in for service or upgrade tot he expedition model. Either way you can not go wrong but I liked the campa units we used.

X2 with what Nullifier said.
I've been out with two of the Campa trailers with the campa tents and both were very high quality. They are specifically made to be used with the trailer so you should not have any fitment issues. I've been out with Chris Cole and was very impressedby his trailers and tents, nice stuff and I believe he would stand behind his products 100%.
