lot of pics with lot of tents

first there was tent

Image

then we take it to floor, and cut it half - it was in 2012

Image

now in 2013 its first time when i´m going put this tent up
i did never put it up - its first time :thinking:

first half

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

and second half too

Image

Image

Image

Image

then there was sun-shade
what was in last summer put up trailer side

Image

now i can use it behind trailer too
there was little wind

Image

Image

Image

Image

back in start (look shade under the trailer 8) and same thing in first pic)
it took me with 8 year old son exactly 2 hours to put all tents up and down
little struggle with wind, explore, small talk with neighbors, few phone calls and ...
although it was first time it was easy :thumbsup:

I thought I was the only one with this great idea. This is what I was planning to do with my eureka bon echo. It looks awesome. I just absolutely love it. Everybody's telling me not to cut it. How did you attach it to the teardrop? I've been trying to figure out how to attach it to the trailer before I start cutting and sewing. I thought about putting guide ropes that are attached to the tent/awning vestibule that will go over the trailer and stake it into the ground.

Man that is nice. The bunk worked out well I see. I like the Tent but I never had that much space to the
sides of my campers at states parks. But two smaller tents might work well.

Beautiful build. You are a man of vision and very careful planning.

All the tents give you plenty of options.
