purchasing rooftop tent and need some advice so as not to make a big mistake. did a search and read everything twice. looking at the howling moon, ezy awn and the dingo doza. was at the adelaide show this weekend and saw them all. every seller tells you his unit is the best. first the dinga doza, total canvas including cover, floor made of canvas and total velcro canvas top. looks very rustic at best. secondly the howling moon, fiberglass type floor and ripspot canvas with a cover on top,as they saw to make it warmer in cold and cooler in hot. they say the top keeps out condensation. they say also you can keep bedding in when closed. [ an archive says can't keep beding in and after a rain had bad condensation problems the next night. says he does'nt believe performance in wet enviroments. thirdly the ezy awn. no negative feedback. but has a marine plywood bed and has all the canvas riveted[ bad for repair] unlike the howling moon which has a rope removal system. my question does anyone have any real long term experience in wet weather? is the pvc type top the best evev after a rain, then the sun heating everything up? which is the best unit? can't use an aussie explorer or ship shape as they take too much roof space. please tell me all your ideas. give me the good, bad, and the ugly. cheers, robert
