The TENT COT

Hi CD

Havent purchased one but have clambered in/out/over one that was set up in a shop and at 6'3" and a few kgs more than I should be - I was very impressed.

I could fully stretch out, had plenty of elbow room, didnt feel claustraphobic, gave it a fairly serious workout actually.

If I hadnt already created a good setup (rooftop tent etc) for my Patrol I would certainly be buying one

I think they would be an excellent option

Hope this helps :-)

There are two different designs:

and anywhere tent: uniquecreations.com.au/anywheretent.htm
Cheers

Haven't tried one but doesn't look like they would be terribly warm on a freezing night (when the swag comes into it's own!)

I went for a 3 week trip in and around the Simpson last Aug with a mate. We got about the 1st two into the country (7 footers). Performed very well. We took swags and just threw them inside. Plenty of room for yourself and gear, and you can sit up without touching roof (I'm 6'). They do not insulate very well against the cold by themselves, however make for a soft bed and keep you off the ground, secure, and dry. Easy to set up and pull down, takes all of 2 mins. Just roll swag up whilst still inside (keeps it clean & dry) then just fold and throw it in the back. Certainly suited us.

Crazy Dog, I borrowed one from my brother ( a cheaper version model with 2 legs. "kookaburra"brand I think) for a weeks campiing in Steep Point. It was great, roomy enough, flyscreens all around, good to sleep in. The problem I had was the flapping noise when the winds got strong +25knts. We had 2 overnight stops in carparks, The people in swags got a lot of red dust on their gear where as I was clean. They stopped teasing me after that!
Hope this helps.
P.S. I'm 100+kgs and had no worries.

Hi Mate

Got one, got alot of chit the first time i pulled it out, but 2secs to put up and 5 to put away, stopped the talking. Very comphy. I am tall enough to think I wouldn't fit but heaps of room and a great sleep. Off the ground is also a plus in pooring rain, as it was at this years OBC.
