I would have to agree with the others. You never know what state it is going to come back to you in and having to put it up to check would be a pain.

We are the same here - two decent large tents just taking up room now that we have moved up to the van. Who knows one day we may just want them again - probably just after we have gotten rid of them. LOL

More trouble than its worth. Just sell it, you might be surprised what you get.. Get a decent price for our second hand tent when we sold it.

Sell is the obvious answer.

But it does suggest another service that Exploreoz COULD provide...

We all have equipment, trailers, tents etc not being used for long periods.
A lease, lend section to the trader could make a lot of sense.

Hi Royce, I agree, but I think you'd need a good deposit in case it comes back in a mess. A signed, short document re the leaser taking responsibility and you keeping the deposit for it not returning in the same condition it left you in. Then your Insurance may have to changed, but that'd be up to you. It's a great idea maybe lend or lease only to those in the E.O. circle. Take care. Safe travels. Bye Sally.
