Post your tents

What folding table do you have?
I am looking for something to hold the chuckbox without caving in

That is a nice setup you have.

Corey, if you were directing that table question to me it is the stowaway from SlumberJack. I looked a long time for one that was sturdy and would hold everything while I cooked. It is relatively lite and folds up to about the size of a long camp chair. It works well for me.

thats kind of a neat setup. I have never seen that one before!

Thanks... I makes getting up in the middle of night and finding your way to the nearest tree easy

Question : hay hold wind and rain , or any other not so pleasurable weather ?

We were out for a few days in the Naches area and as the day warmed up the winds came rushing down through the valley. One of the other guys heavy box style tent blew over and rolled 20 ft. The only thing I had to do was pick up my laundry I had hanging on the cross bar. It holds up really well to the wind. I haven't had it out when the rain was coming down sideways. But for drizzle it is fine... there is no floor so I add a tarp under my cot when it's wet out.

I use a Peak 1 Aries backpacking tent by Coleman. Bought it new about 12 years ago and it is still working great. Holds up to wind and is small enough that it can be stuffed anywhere and it is very fast to setup and take down by myself. I use it just for myself, it is rated for 2 people but that would be a tight fit.

While I posted a photo of my van with the pop-up tent roof earlier in the thread I can't find any photos of my old Quest Fifth Season which is a true four season half dome for two. I don't use it anymore because I've lost my interest is traditional tent camping but the thing is bulletproof and I still carry it in the rig, just in case.

I do not trust the Cabelas roll top table I have now with its legs.
The one you have looks very sturdy and able to handle the chuckbox.

Man, someone got the goods! I love tents, I skimped out on "name brand" tent when I bought a large tent, it is good enough but I've already have to re-waterproof the rainfly because of leaks.

I wanted the basecamp 6 but I got voted down by my financial manager.

BaseCamp 4 when there's just two of us:

Or BaseCamp 6 when the whole family is along

We also have a little Kelty 4 person tent that stuffs down nice and small. We typically loan this one out to people joining us on camping trips:

And somewhere in the garage I still have this huge 8 person Coleman tent. It's served us well in our early years and held up remarkably well in High Sierra hail storms!

My quote above was for this post.

Also, I love this freaking Jeep too!

Nice photo snake. I'm not sure I'd fit in that tent, and I'd prefer a vestibule over the door, but you sure can't beat that view!

this sight was among a few that had me sold on the maggiolina, so thanks. it rocks! i bought it in june, drove 800 miles to pick it up, and on the way home, met up with three friends for a week long expedition on the emigrant trail and killpecker dunes in wyoming.

i almost bought a mombassa for the price, but decided that i should hold out for what i really wanted and it paid off. first off in mileage. we had four 80 series land cruisers, all similarily setup. three had rtts; my maggi, the mombassa that i had been looking at, and an eezi awn (fourth rig didnt have a rtt, so he was relegated to fuel hauling duty). i got the best mileage of all four rigs, probably because of the aerodynamics of the rtt. i have noticed in months of daily driving that my mileage is almost the same with the tent as without.

also, setup/teardown time. one minute up, five minutes down. very handy when you're on the dunes and a storm comes in; or in a flooding hard lightening storm. the guys with the other rtts were minimum 20 minutes and up to 45 minutes for the eezi awn (granted, he had the full vestibule setup).

i could leave my bedding since there was enough room when closed, where the foldovers had to remove theirs to get the tents to fold flat.

finally, i'm short and i have a tall rig. i would not be able to gently open or close a folding rtt by myself. i can't be on the ground and reach up get the ladder or when folding gently push everything over until it rests flat. with the maggi, i can stand on the tailgate and door openings and do everything i need to.

only drawback so far is that it takes up the entire roof, so there's no room for fuel cans up there. no biggie, i'll make something for the rear bumper.
