MyWay / Camp Cover Evolution RTT (1 Viewer)

[tcmault]

I see a lot of vehicles with RTT running around Colorado, so I figured I'd share a new version of a tent just coming out. These aren't imported to the US yet, but more than likely will soon.

MyWay / Camp Cover is coming out with a new version of their Evolution tent.

This is the version Sam Watson mentions in the 2015 Overland Journal gear guide as one of his favorite pieces of kit. Now Louw from Camp Cover is coming out with a new version. He only has this protype so far, but it looks awesome. It will come in both a Touring and Standard version. Plus, those flies will be interchangeable.

As I learn more about the tent, I'll be sure to post the details.

Old version.

Most notable design specifications.

1. Separated tent and flysheet.

This ensures a well ventilated tent minimalising condensation & vastly reduces heat inside the tent itself.

2. Adjustable roof window.

Contributes to ventilation in tent. Key aspect is that this “hatch” can be closed, so required ventilation can be adjusted as needed.

3. Single zip door.

With conventional tents having a double zipped door ( material and mesh having to be zipped separately), we have designed our doors to open a close with a singular zip, thus closing both mesh and material with one action. Opening the doorway for the view or extra ventilation is however possible with our inner zip, which is depicted in IMG 7292 – IMG 7936. This feature once again contributes to the versatility on the tent.

4. Midge Mesh Netting

We opted for the midge mesh as barrier to insects. The additional cost of the material is played down to the degree of ventilation and invisibility of the netting thus again contributing to ventilation and giving you the great view one would expect waking 2m of the ground.

Back in March, this is the cost estimate I received from MyWay. This was on the old version and started this journey with talking to MyWay about their offerings.

From Camp Cover when asked about shipping one to Colorado.

"Last shipment was sent to California, rough recollection on cost was R 7000 (back then the $ Rand conversion was roughly 1 /10) Save to say 700$ all inclusive. But don’t quote me on this!

Cost on our new MyWay version (material imported from Europe) @ R15 500 for the Touring 1.4m version."

Per Google, R15,500 is about $1272. Since there is no importer yet, it is the shipping that gets you.
