As far as storing items inside, they make a single and double channel. The single channel is thinner and you can’t leave anything inside the tent when you close it. Mine is the double channel. I can leave my sleeping bag, pillow, and a couple of blankets inside and still close the tent.
I called CVT. Sounds like they started their Black Friday sale already. I didn’t know that when I listed my tent for sale. I paid $3695 for mine in February. Mine is the double channel which is $2771 on sale right now, shipping not included. I don’t know how long the sale lasts. You’re welcome to make me an offer.
