Want to see a BunduTop tent in AZ

[tjalward]

I would love to see one of these BunduTop tents in person. Willing to pay for someone's time, if one exists for viewing and questions, etc. I am in Phoenix, but willing to drive.

I really like the features of it, but heard some issues that concern me and would like to talk to an owner and get to touch/feel one in person.

The other tent in contention is the Bush Co Alpha. Not as necessary to see that one in person, but if someone has it in Phoenix I would be interested to talk to them.

Thanks in advance!

There’s a Bush Co. for sale in OKC listed here; not sure how many Bundutecs are even here in the states. Not a lot I’m betting

Thanks, I saw that and also contacted him. There are features about the bundu that I like even more, if the other concerns I have are answered or fixed with the latest generation. The Bush Co Alpha is awesome, but entering from the sides means my side opening camper will be blocked as long as the ladder is there. I would like to use the front runner cab rack as a front platform, ladder to that, and enter the bundu tent from the front. Also I like that the solar panel would catch sun as long as you are in the sun, not only in morning or only in afternoon depending on the way you happen to be parked. And you can't really argue with a push button setup and take down...

On the alpha I really like the true dual wall canvas, sturdy frame, tslots, roof rack ability, etc. There are always pros and cons. Trying to figure out what is right for me.

What I can say is that my CVT denali extended summit is a nice tent, and sleeps all 4 of us very well, but it is a huge tent and is a pain to deploy and stow, especially when the sun is hot and the whole thing is dusty after several days of offroad travel. I do not like being a sweaty grumpy mess by the time I have the tent put away and the cover secured back onto it.

Looking for a better faster smaller RTT, and a nice lightweight fast pitch ground tent for the kids, that they can be in charge of when they are also on the adventure.
