4 26qts left at walmart.com, just picked one up.

Never mind, read the original post re the "bimini jaw slides".

Nice, where did you get the connectors for the side poles (black plastic attached to vehicle edge pole)?

I would suggest that most tents of that size will be a challenge for a single person to set up. As suggested above staking it out first and practice would probably make it manageable. I have had my eye on the Cabela's tent for a while because it is supposed to be bombproof. Inflatable tents...

Not sure how this one works compared to others, but think it is cool you can make it with just a pocket knife. http://vimeo.com/64726512

Very cool! Love the pole design. Can't imagine lugging that thing up Everest, I have an 80s Eureka canvas cabin tent with a rubberized floor and it weighs a ton.

Has anyone tried these marine units? They are pricey, but less than some of the options posted here. http://dickinsonmarine.com/propane.php They also sell diesel, wood, and propane heaters.

Army tents have liners, but those tents also use stoves to keep them heated. A tent without any (or much) mesh in the body is preferable, but you do want some venting as alluded to above. I second the posts with regards to a good sleeping pad, compressed insulation is ineffective. Most of the...

Nice work, I am impressed! I have a starcraft that is very similar to yours. Got it from a friend of mine who could not store it at his new house. I am interested in evaluating the condition of the wood after seeing your thread and some others on other sites. Is it possible to remove the...

With regards to Sierra Trading Post, get on their e-mail list and/or like them on facebook, they offer 35% off coupons frequently, maybe every 10 days or so.

Nice build, very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

I picked up one of these at an REI attic sale, it is very comfortable and light, I would even consider taking it backpacking. That said I think they are a bit expensive at full price.

Canvas tents can get pretty musty if they are stored wet, and I believe that some of the older ones (army surplus in particular) are treated with petroleum products. Nylon tents get rank if stored wet, too. I picked up a Eureka canvas tent from about 1980 in a thrift store a few years ago, 10...

Thanks for the replies. I imagine some of the shades may have gone airborne but seeing the breaks, which are usually in the accordion parts, makes me think that they may "rack" in the wind. Good idea on the sand anchors. EZ-Up having spare parts available is definitely a plus. Does anyone...

Hi, I am interested in getting an ez-up, quickshade, etc type awning. The type that accordions out. My concern is that I have seen many of these in dumpsters at the beach camping sites (Assateague, Outer Banks) that I frequent. Is there a sturdy brand / has anyone modified theirs to make it...

I think part of the problem is that the hobitat is a high profile tent with long thin poles, and they don't do well in heavy winds. Some of the Eureka Cabin tents (e.g. the Titan) are pretty bombproof with aluminum poles, but they are about 1" in diameter. I have a REI basecamp 6 and the poles...

Does anyone know if a CJ8 hardtop will fit well on an Aqualu body? I have heard the hardtops do not fit the fiberglass aftermarket bodies.

Overcamp rooftop tent with custom rack that fits on top of m416 ( m-416) trailer. 500$ OBO http://www.autohomeus.com/rooftop/overcamp.php 301 693-3672

I have seen racks like that and I believe it is a bolt together unit. I agree that it would probably only work for light duty apps. If you want to save money you can pick up a decent rack used, I got a Yakima load warrior off of craigslist for 50$. I think roof racks are something that often...

I have a hard time believing any military would put fake mullions (sp?) on the windows of their tents.
