Learn2 Choose the Right Tent
(Continued)
 Go
shopping (for a car camping tent)
Think of any situation where you don't have to
carry your tent more than a few hundred feet.
Suddenly, spaciousness and ease of use become more
important than weight issues. Let's still keep in
mind the quality and stability concerns, though.
- A dome or half-dome design (or modified
versions of either)
- Rip-stop and mesh upper section
- Floor coating that extends about four to six
inches up the sides, often referred to as a
"bathtub" design, which prevents the seepage of
ground moisture.
- 7000 series aluminum shock-corded poles that
do not obstruct entry/exit points.
- Interior storage areas
- Adequate room to sit upright and read or
talk
- A fly that extends to within a few inches of
the ground, and possibly forms an enclosed area
known as a vestibule to store things under
A clip-type fastening system for easy set up and
take down
