The maiden voyage is going to have to wait. Right now until i have eye surgery,I am legally blind in my right eye and left eye is corrected to 20/40 with a coke bottle lens so, this tear was built with vision only one eye

oh... i dunno if you'll need them or not... i'm by no means an expert

i put them on mine partly because my family's pop-up had them when i was a kid, but also figure if i ever camp somewhere that isn't entirely level it'll be good to have a nice, stable triangle to support it and/or help level it out. sucks sleeping on an incline, ya know. not to mention potential weight of full coolers, water jug, camping gear, dishes etc in the back, but i dunno what you intend to have back there...

anyway, i put 2 of these on the back of mine...


just a thought though...
