Thread: Buying a tent for camp??????????

I'd say buy it. We'll pass the hat at spring camp to make up any difference and get the sides.

Be sure and let us know when the set up will be. I am off all week and will try to be there.

Sounds like a good find. Don't count me out for storage if needed. I still have the big unit may just as well keep it. If not, the new place has tons of storage as well. What ever works.

Wonder if the tent will require a trailer for picking up? I was not down when they set it up or took it down.

Last year I saw them bring it in on a trailer about 16 ft long. It was not a very high load but they also had some tools and stuff on it as well. Seems like there may have been 5 or 6 men on the crew.
Did not see them install.

Some of the places online that I looked at said it could fit in a long bed pickup.

This is an installation video clips of a 20 x 30 tent from a different company.

I called on a used tent and they had 14 foot poles so I think you would need a trailer.

Maybe able to put the tent and short poles in the back of a truck and the 2 long poles in a boat to get them back to storage.

Has anyone rented the campsite that it will go on and what day are we wanting it set-up? Also do we need to check with the campground before it is setup?
