Tail Tent??

**Mazdragon** · 17-10-2011, 12:37 PM

nope... bought a Jet Tent (by Oztent RV)... it's a pop up similar to Black Wolf style tents... has side to zip in with doorways so you can park the van rear under cover and still get in and out of the tent.... did a trial in the front yard on fri nite... but cldn't trial park the van as per intended set up cos didn't have enuf space... but Lima will be the real test run..sooooooooo looking forward to the long weekend away.... :camera:
