Post your tents

[Honu]

just an update on the kamp-rite oversize tentcot - spent the night in it on top of 4 peaks the other weekend in probably some of the worst rain i've ever camped in and no leaks. lots of condensation, but that's to be expected with anything that small and cool air outside and a mouth-breather humidifier inside

where was that pic taken ?
was that up their ? have not been up that way we usually camp other places but want to start doing more close overnight runs with the family
so would love to get more detailed info looks like a nice spot


to bad I cant fit a 2 year old 7 year old and a dog and wife and myself in one of those
when I was single that would be a cool setup

i have a bibler fitzroy and a bombshelter. both are incredible. single wall todd tex material. to set one up you toss all the tent poles in the tent, crawl in and zip it up then you can completely set it up in the most horrific storms without having to be outside.

fitzroy

bombshelter

i have never seen any tent that compares to a bibler (they were bought by black diamond a while ago and available there now)

both of mine are the made in the USA versions, i dont think they are made here anymore so the quality may be different but they are extremely good single wall (no rainfly) tents.

this isn't mine...

but imagine a RTT with a stove and a fridge:Wow1:

We do love our Tepui Tent

 

[demonslaer]

my tent also has a rainfly and you can take it off the cot and sleep on the cot you can also set the tent up on the ground.

Well it depends...

On the Moto, the Hilleberg Nammajt 3 GT is perfect. Indestructible 4 season tent with HUGE vestibule one could live in; perfect for the wet moto gear and the like. Fits easily in a side bag and sets up faster than a RTT.

On the 'other' bike, the Hillleberg Akto, 4 season solo tent, with a big enough porch to cook, and store bike bags. Weighs about 3.5 lbs and tucks nickely into any one of the 4 panniers. Again, sets up and take down is faster than a RTT.

On the big toy, the Eezi-awn does its job as well as anything out there, and the extra room is a great add on.

yes, more pics from the area here: http://offroadpassport.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1328

you go up from the front side, turn left at the saddle, take the next left, then a right, then a left

and yeah, we have a kodiak canvas for the whole family, the tentcot is just when i go solo - it takes time to stake out, but it sets up pretty fast too actually.

 

[Honu]

thanks dont go up that way we usually go up toward Prescott and Sedona area or longer runs up toward Nevada but want to as I said do more around here

in the Kodiak do you use cots or the ground for the family ?

we have our trailer but the wife is not a fan of the ladder and kinda wants us to get all on the same level so looking at selling my trailer and getting a larger tent and maybe a LC to haul all the stuff in

Bohica,

I'm getting ready to buy a Tepui RTT and have an FJ with a flat utility Baja Rack. How does yours ride? Do you notice a little extra "tipping" when turning corners or with a crosswind on the highway?

Any issues with the Tepui brand? Is it too much trouble to mount on a rack for a weekend trip and then remove it when you come home?

Your pictures are great! Which awnings are you using? Could you let me know what sizes you are using for the side and rear of your FJ?

And is that the $600 cookbox that I see in your FJ?

Sorry if its too many questions.

Thanks,
Roland

Having marvelled for so long at the different test styles in this thread, I figured it was time to stop lurking and give something back.

Our current "tent":
2010 Trackabout Safari SV Extenda off-road camper trailer

The old tent, which we still break out every now and then:
OzTrail Tourer 9+ canvas touring tent

And, to add a bit of local flavour to this international mix (and because they're cute):
Wild pademelons, quiet enough to feed and pat.

Thanks!
Matto

We really like our OZ Tent Jet Tent F25X. It is easy to set up has tons of room and kept us 100% dry in a down pour that produced 3" of rain in about two hours with winds over 40 mph.
