You probably hear this a lot in this sub, but thought I would try anyway. I am in the market for a tent. The "$59 tent" deal caught my eye, but sold out before I pulled the trigger. After reading more comments I think it may be good that I did not get it.
I typically car-camp and we go out many times a year. We usually do not camp in snow, but rain is almost guaranteed on half the trips we go on. We use cots so need about 9' of clearance on one side, and some kind of porch or vestibule where we can take off wet clothes or shoes would be a bonus. I would like the walls to be as vertical as possible. I will not be backpacking or hiking with this tent so weight is not a concern. I have only once had a problem fitting a "big" tent in the places we camp, so I could reasonably go to a footprint as large as 18-20' on one side.
I have considered wall tents (love the idea) but the cost is prohibitive.
So far, this is the closest I have found, but this is just an upgrade from the $59 model that people seem to talk down.
I am equipped to supplement with tarps as needed.
Any ideas? You supply a name/model and I will find a deal on it. Thanks!
tl;dr need a tent. 9' on the short side. screened in porch and near-vertical side walls are a bonus. weight and size are secondary beyond needing that 9' depth.
