I got one of these puppys, finally after searching all the stores in a 100
mile radius. None in stock except in Alymer, Qc, they had three. Well
when I left they had two ! So the tent, it is made by "Spalding"
not "CampMate" as I had written previously. It is a very well made nylon
tent with rain fly and front porch awaning, two zippered windows with
screen as is the front and rear openings. Size is 8.5' x 8.5' x 88" .
Outside poles and goes up quickly. Regular price is $249.95. Fitting it
to the Vanagon either the rear hatch or side opening will take some
modification as the tunnel between the vehicle and tent is a tad too high
for the Vanagon side door and the rear hatch is too long and rises up too
high for it to fit at the back. I have begun modifications to fit it to
the side entry and it is not too complicated, however it will to have a
new, longer zipper installed in the rear fly. Not all that complicated if
you have some sewing skills and can find a long enough zipper ( I'm still
working on this part so I cnnot report success as yet). We may use it
this weekend or next before the modifications are complete as it is not a
big problem with the tunnel opening. That's it for now.
Cheers
Frank
