<VV> Update from 2003 -- now Car Tents

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

Here in the northwest, the 10' x 20' car tent (see attached)  is very 
popular, where it is allowed.  They won't carry a haevy snow or ice 
load, but don't you folks in snow country know to relieve roof snow 
loads "before" the roof collapses?

Anyway, they are good for about ten years service life with the original 
fabric, work well in moderate winds (up to 50 mph) if they are 
appropriately anchored, they make good kites if they aren't, and make 
good tents for those extended elk hunting and fishing camps,  also 
available in 12' x 24' at some locations.  The eight leg models are far 
superior to the cheapo six leg versions, and run about $150 - $200 when 
they are "in season" at CostCo, including sides.  go too cheap and they 
won't last, too spendy and you are giving away your money.
