This leads to another question. I see various tents advertised as "OEM 3-window" and wonder what this means.� If the original tents had only the single front window, what's OEM about a 3-window tent?� Everything else, dimensionally and material-wise?� Maybe I'm just getting to the age when everything confuses me.� Or maybe it's a plot!
