Thank you. I'm sure the 10x10 is excellent, but for just me, I think the 5x7 would work. I am 5'4" so I hope I can do it. I manage to change in the trailer, although it is harder with the dog who is 60 pounds. I'm mostly looking for a place to sit and eat or whatever, maybe have a little privacy. I don't often stay in one place for long. I have a small folding table that might be just right for it. I have a popup privy, but usually just walk to the restrooms. So I'm thinking the 5x7. That information helps!

I happened across a good deal on a used once only deal on the 10' X 10' Paha Que from Little Guy. I have used it once. I set it up myself. Not easy but doable. I don't have a picture of it yet. It took awhile to set it up but it is a great quality tent. It is heavy compared to most nylon tents but then again you are using it close to the vehicle it rode in on! Not back packing it or carrying it very far. It has a 12" polyurethane bath tub floor. It is very much built for wind and rain if it happens. It is a screen room with roll down sides, rain fly, heavy zippers. Mine has suction cups to attach it to my 5 wide Little Guy. The newer models have a collar that attaches around a special weather stripping on the door. It covers the complete side of the trailer. No place for critters to get in when in use. I used it for a port a potty at night and a bug protected place to hang out during the day. There are videos on You Tube on how to assemble it. I am a long time tent user and I did not give that up when I got my tear. I love to blend the two technologies. It is expensive although I almost stole this one. Paha Que builds really strong decent products. Check their website also. You need room next to your trailer which is not always possible. It is important to stake it properly and that is hard to do if not camped on dirt. I don't camp at places that do not put me on dirt or where I can't put a tent next to or behind the trailer. I also have a Sportz SUV tent by Napier for the rear hatch. Hope this gives some understanding to what it is like.

Very cool. I think the 5x7 for me would be good for me. You are right, spendy. I'll have to start looking for dirt campgrounds. I'm hoping they will go on sale... I did watch the video, and I think I can do it. Thanks for the info. Right now, I only have the popup trekker for a restroom, as it were. I like to take my dog child, and he sleeps in the trailer, but the 5x7 would be good for a bit of privacy for him and me. Eventually maybe something over the galley, but I like to keep it simple.

My wife puts up our 5x7 and she is disabled with neck injuries so it is not hard with the new design. There are several for sale on the LG forum.

Haven't seen one on LG forum lately except one with a tear in it. I'm hoping LG will have a decent sale one day. I'll be ready.
