Hi Volks,

I didn't mean to sound wry earlier. Terry K. politely informed me that these
tents are often sold for a small fortune, often up to $1,200 or so.  Just
wanted to be fair and also  apologize for coming off a bit harsh.  I sure
miss that tent!

Cheers,

Tom N.

FYI: I sold one on ebay a couple of months back for 1/2 that price and felt
it was a fair deal (college tuition money).  Please do some market research
before throwing away those hard earned greenbacks.

Okay, we can all rip on the Corvair, but you have to leave my Chevette
alone! :-)

180,000 miles, burns not a drop of oil, runs great, gets 40mpg. I use it
to run to the parts store for my van and my Ford. Its always there when I
need it.

Picking on motel rooms is okay too, but leave the Chevette out of it <bg>

BTW, $600 for a tent is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard of, even if
you can drive away from it.

Regards,

John
