my buddy has the alaknak,,, its a really nice tent for what it is. its a light version of a heavy canvas wall tent but for the climate and seasons of AZ it really works pretty well even up in the Mtns.
i have been thinking about buying one of those carports for the bigger trips, my trailer houses the kitchen and other things and it would be nice to have the trailer,, or at least the kitchen side completely in the tent and separated from the elements. i need to work out a floor, but maybe just a big rug would work, i could make it all up like one of those tents in those old egypt movies with the belly dancers and stuff
