Car camping tent for tall people 6-Oct-2008 At 8:23:08 PM hotgemini

I'm from queensland, it doesn't rain here.

After 5 years of regular use, we finally broke a pole in the 2V dome whilst living at araps, a twig and some duct tape later and the tent is still being used by an international student friend of mine who we gave it to once we'd purchased the 4V.

For the price difference for something with aluminium poles, you can buy three of the cheaper tents.

I've never had any problems with water ingress with the years of use of the 2V or the single time that the 4V got wet, but don't kid yourself either, they're cheap, nasty, mass-produced chinese tents made to a price not to a quality. The only protection at the seams is cotton 'tape', not proper seam-tape or sealing. The floor is pretty light duty compared to something five times the price.
