Kamp-Rite

[ful-rac]

About a month or two ago, somebody was talk'n about the kamp-rite...it might have been Buddha or rossman.....At the time I was look'n for a small tent just for Baja, something that wasn't going to get blown away or flattened out by the wind.

I looked at the kamp-rite...and to be honest I didn't really like it..I thought it was a stupid idea...but did some research on it, and it had pretty good reviews. I wanted a small tent, but couldn't find one that could stand up to the winds for under $500 bucks...or something like that. So I looked on amazon and found a used kamp-rite for about $140 + tax came out to something like $156 bucks.

After having used it for the last trip over to Gonzaga bay...I have to say I love this thing! It stood up to the strongest winds that Gonzaga could dish out. Not only that it held up my fat ass like a champ! Easy to set up, and take down.. just like folding and unfolding a chair, takes up little space (if laid flat). It's a good buy!


I'd have to give it the team sewer stamp of approval!

That is awesome. When I camp up at lake McClure we always sleep on cots under the stars, but there have been windy nights where this would have been a godsend.

[Cadillyak]

Will definitely look into this!!

Your welcome. I need to find a good inflatable pad for mine next. I actually got kind of deathly sick on the trip after you left but that is another story.

I hate it...it didn't stop your snoring from pouring through...:the_finger:

I talked to Jim (Deamon) and he said that he can take it up to you when you get together. If you want it sooner than that let me know.

I am still sick right now, when I am better I will tell you the story and no it wasn't the food.

The real test will be Tony and Roby doing the "rodeo" inside.:eek::the_finger:



If it can handle the two of them in it .......I'll buy one!

It shouldn't get the Team Sewer stamp of approval until Tony, Roby and Jim sleep in it together.

Every tent that has gone to Gonzaga seems to have one night where it gets blown flat, trying to beat its owner to death. Tony and Jeff both used the camp-rite cot/tent and had no problems with the winds at 40+. Baja tested!!!

After I got back I had the bug for this past week. Feel better now. Felt like the flu without the nausea. I think it might of started with Carlos

Hope you feel better soon

Any idea how much for one ??

[Cattledog]

check out these guys if you like that sort of thing,

www.adventuretrailers.com

I have used their stuff for years and it is well thought out and durable.

I don't think the Conqueror products are routinely available in the USA.

I believe these are sold in Australia only at this time, but I'm sure someone here in America is making something close to it

I have seen their products and they are pretty solid.

Goggle "teardrop trailers" and you'll find U.S. Manufacturers, plans, and pictures of the standard style and newer (off road shown in the video.) style.

Not a bad idea Tony. I like it. I am one of the guys who got a beating by my Tent one night in Baja. I dealt with it and my tent survived, but it would of been nice to get some more sleep rather then getting uppercuts to the dome by my 4 person. Saw some for sale on overstock $170 with rainy fly, no tax, shipping, might pull the trigger.

I saw that same one last night, I almost clicked 'buy' but I want to see Tony's before I commit to it.

[ericko]

I didn't hesitate got the oversize tent cot ,rainfly and storage bag $208 should get it next week..

[FISH11]

That is frickin awesome! I don't think it's abailable is the US, and I would hate to see the price. Well thought out though.

Thanks Sven,

I didn't have the flu. I got foam dust particles in my lungs from the open foam pads that Lupe had me use. The particles were coming off the pad and I was breathing them in. Not a good idea!

I was coughing constantly and still am in pretty bad shape. I will probably go have a doctor check it out next week if it doesn't get any better.

Costco has some pretty decent self inflating pads. I used one on a concrete floor and was pretty happy with it.

Or........you can sleep on top of Tony, he's fluffy and soft like a teddy bear:D

At least that's what I heard.
