I bought  a (used) side tent, but have not set it up yet.   I am  wondering
whether it is going to be worth the space and effort- guess I'll  find out
- but appreciate any insights!

Seems like I am running out  of space in the van when every thing is
packed up for the family of  4.  Of course, spares and tools take up half
of the under-seat storage  area!

Hi John,
Yes, but with a family of four you Need the space the side tent  gives !
(Sometimes with a family of Two the space is needed ! heh heh :o)
That is just what I was up against with my canvas tent.
With the large rolled up canvas of the tent it's self,
the poles, the screen room, pegs etc. ???
That's why I was thinking the Nylon tenting material? Lighter & smaller  !!!
It's about time, It's about space....
happy trails!
