The seasons are finally starting to change from hot, humid, and rainy. “Chill-in-the-air, ” especially at night is most welcome.
Because the tent I normally use is mostly see-through mesh on the sidewalls with a rainfly covering, it is cold in the fall without a heater. I can deal with cold. Taylor can’t. An American English Coonhound or Redtick is a single coated dog. I am anxiously awaiting the new tent! It is inexpensive, but has all the features I was searching for: Less mesh, a rainfly, zippered windows, a thick floor ( PU4000 ), bathtub walls, waterproof instead of water resistant (3000-4000MM 190T polyester), 2 D-shaped doors, a hooded vent and a lot of interior space for a 3-4 person tent. At 8 1/2′ X 7′ and almost 5′ tall it is a lot smaller than my summer tent, but may be easier to, “heat” in fall / winter needing only to accommodate my cot and dog crate. It is also an, “instant up” tent with a hydraulic pump for, (we’ll see) 1 minute setup. One feature I was looking for is an E-port to pass an electric cord through. It doesn’t have that. I may have to do surgery on this tent to have access available for that, (I cut a 1″ slash at the base of the summer tent, and made a rain cover out of a small piece of plastic to prevent rain from seeping inside) possibly up under the side air vent or perhaps the back zippered door. We shall see . The joys of online shopping without the ability to actually see what you are getting. 😉 To see the tent click: https://a.co/d/9iOao8u
