Think two minutes to set up camp, even in a storm. Think sleeping on a mattress, with regular sheets and blankets. Think better protection from critters.
I love mine. Like snook's, mine's mounted on top of a modified M416 trailer. I tried it first on the Cruiser, but mine's SOA and the tent is heavy, I didn't want the added tippiness. Besides, that made my very light aluminum roof rack impossible to install and remove without three other guys.
I'm really happy with the results, the trailer functions as a self-contained mini-camper that can be locked and secured and left at the campsite (say at CM, for example) without anyone tampering with the interior. The tent can be left open or folded back every day, it's so easy it doesn't matter.
Glad to hear we'll have other options, I know these are pricey but you *have* to separate yourself from the notion that it is just a tent. My father spent two decades exploring the northern Amazon with a Brownchurch expedition tent and while very faded and on its third set of zippers, the tent is still being used by my cousin today. Mine's already five years old and in *perfect* shape, I fully expect to get 20 years out of it.
