Side room/tent?

[WhitneyK]

I use a small 4' x 4' "easy up style" cabana tent. Fairly compact, easy to install, held on by 4 straps that snap to the side of our l'il camper.


But I do really like the one Gage has. Might have to make me one of them some day.

I can see why some would want a tent attached to there trailer for convenience and more room, but the whole reason we decided to get a TD was to get away from setting up a tent. When we need privacy to change, shower or use chemical potty we use one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/380735880022?lpid=82. You basically throw it and it sets up. And when we are in the backcountry we just work on our tan.

I agree that's exactly why we went that route as well, however, I'm 6'4" & 200#, kind of ruff to get dressed in bed for a week or two. Ours is easy set up and sits flat against our camper side so we can attach it. It would have been loooong gone when we went out west in the wind. We only put it up if we're going to be in one spot for more than a couple of days, which isn't very often We prefer to "stick and move"

we won't camp without our side tents. that instant spring tent is short, my 5' 2" wife just fits comfortably, but I feel like I can't turn around inside and my head hits the roof at 5' 10". our side tents have more than enough space to change in, I think they just about double the "inside" space we have that is private.
unlike an easy up type tent, or one that has multiple poles, our tents set and stow quickly, and they have no "privacy gap" we sit/stand in the open tear door and get dressed. http://www.instructables.com/id/Quick-s ... ing-booth/
we keep the spring tent for the beach and canoe camping, for the tear it is about useless.

I love my side tent, I went teardrop as it was small and light enough for my car.
I fell in love with it for so many reasons one being flexibility. Tent or no tent, electric or no electric,
