Interesting, I'll keep an eye out for deals. Keeping off of the ground is what I like... and the quick set-up.

Neat. One place I go there was a woman who had a single version of that with mosquito netting as well as a fly. Being off the ground is huge. I've got a '91 coleman popup that I use a couple of times a year. I got it for $700 about 6 years ago and have more than gotten my money out of it, esp. when it rains. I do one 5 day gig every year over the 4th of july weekend and we always get thunderstorms. I like to watch the water run underneath the camper and go somewhere else.

the unit arrived I'm very very happy with this unit . set it up the first time took about 15 mins . wife and I layed in it and there was plenty . the center support bar is made so it run's down the middle of the tent. so its between you and your partner . the cot you sleep on is very tight and no sag. nice surprise was to find there is a full mesh screen opening on all 4 sides for good cross ventilation. the rain fly is a easy to install slip over the elastic raps the cot. 4 plastic clip under and attaches to the metal frame . you just pull the cords tight and done . I was shocked the inside of the tent is only 41 inchs but there tons of head space and pockets for your small to stuff .they even added hangers to clip a battery lantern to the ceiling . they say you can use it as a chair or lounger when the tents down . IM guessing we never will use it that way . the carry case is a very heavy gage water proof .also has room to keep are ground tarp that 12 x 10 . only draw back it is heavy 55 lbs and it big folded up in the case -will measure case and update later !
as for cost best deal I found was on amazon for $200.04 plus tax. most sites were in the $250 plus range .
just measured the storage case with tent in it. --- 53 inch's x 32 inch's x 5 inch's its has a non adjustable shoulder strap and weight is like 50 pounds . not something you want to take on a hiking camping trip.
