Hey Everyone,
So here's the deal: I've got a CVT Mt. Rainier that I've been running for a few years. Recently, I switched to a low pack-rack on my truck which I love, but the Mt. Rainier is a little unwieldly. I'm thinking about down sizing to something Mt. Shasta Size (Tequi Kukenam 3, etc).
Here's the question: my Mt Rainier has an overhang that needs to be guyed that's part of the annex. I've used my annex maybe twice in the 3-4 years I've owned this tent. Usually I feel like the hassle in setting it up outweighs its usefullness. The overhang is a nice little shelter, but it tends to pool water when it rains and is hassle when it comes to packing it up. I feel like the standard flap covering might be easier to deal with.
What do you guys think? Overhang tent (Tepui Autana) or non-overhang tent (Tepui Kukenam).
