 Re: Tent advice
Thanks ma'am! We bought our tent on Amazon.com and got a pretty good deal. $115 + shipping. It's a great tent and pretty easy to set up...very spacious. Our dogs are our children for now. It would be nice to be able to take them with us. Hope to see ya at Wanee!!

 Re: Tent advice
Just set up the new tent (trial run) and I'm gonna be living in luxury (well, for a tent). Enough room for a queen size bed and that only takes half of it. 7' tall so I can stand up straight to change clothes. opens up alot for the hot days.... I'm ready now! Pics tomorrow!

I could live in that one  What kind is this one...you guys are making me want to camp in a tent or become a grannygirlscout!!!  It's a coleman...Got it at the local Wally World for $150. Saw some cheaper online but the shipping made it way more than with the sales tax. Short? That's all relative (literally). I am the shortest man in my family (2 bros & dad). I'm 6'3". They could call me a runt!

 Re: Tent advice
RvrRat...seems you see a need for space as important as I do. You will be suprised how much cooler the air feels in a big open tent. Just being able to stand up makes a huge difference as well. One peice of advice is to go and by some seam sealer. Set the tent up and go all the way around sealing the seams FROM THE INSIDE. Coleman's "weathertec" system keeps you dry, but it seems as though a seam will always leak somewhere. I would pay special attention to where the floor meets the walls. Seems every tent I've owned leaks there. My hiking tent was quite pricey and I thought it would be fine..WRONG. The forst night of a 2 night trip, the bottom fell out. Got soaked. Did some research and the suggestion were all the same. SEAL THE SEAMS. If Wanee is anything like years past, there is a good chance of rain at least one night! I look for your "GRANDE CASA" when I arrive. I look forward to meeting some of you fine folks! Pics of my tent are on the previous page, so look for us! PEACE, LOVE, AND CICKEN GREASE!!!
