Tent recommendation, that’s not a RTT?

Where is the best place to buy a Gazelle? AKA quickest to receive? We leave next week for our trip.

Hmm, that's tricky. I bought direct from Gazelle last year, and they were in stock, and it still took over a week for them to ship. I'd suggest calling them and ask them what their shipping lead time is.

If you have Amazon Prime, then that's the best place to get it.



I think they're having supply chain issues though, so lots of their stuff is unavailable direct. Here's the T4 Plus from another retailer on Amazon.

Get em while you can!

Thanks, I ordered from Amazon, which is through some other distributor. Says it will be delivered before our trip.. hope so!

Check out the REI KINGDOM 4

REI Co-op Kingdom 4 Tent | REI Co-op

This tent is a campground palace for families or couples. A center divider creates 2 private rooms for 4 people, or you can roll the fly back to convert one room into an airy, bug-free haven.

We’re camping near Moab over Thanksgiving week with a Kodak 10 x 14. Ditto on the setup, it’s quick. I have a couple of 9 X 12

painters canvas drop cloths from Harbor Freight I’ll put down inside to keep from having to walk on the plastic floor. It’s huge inside with wall to wall head room.

For cots I have commercial carpet squares from Lowe’s to protect the floor, but this trip we’re taking a Intex inflatable queen bed. There’s no power (or water), so I’ll inflate it off of a 12V power inverter off the car.

I think Gazelle has been updating and fixing odd little issues like those mentioned above. There is a T4 "overland edition" new bag, new stakes, some other improvements. People do seem to really like them for what they are, Price doesn't seem too bad when compared with similarly sized units from the really well known brands.
I also grew up camping in a canvas tent of some type. ours was only about 8x8 though. I think my folks just ditched it about 5 years ago due to a lot of rot.

Cabelas West Wind=we have the 8 person for 2 of us and 3 dogs. Room enough for two cots (1 is XXL) and 2 camp chirs with a card table. Easy set up (10 minutes or so with ground cloth and rain fly (if needed).
