I like how your frame interacts with the pop top or whatever it's called. Was that top tough enough in the breeze or would you drop it down each evening ?

What length are the screws you speak of ? timberlocks I think are nine inch.

How does that side bracing hold up ?

Is cooking next to the Eastern side difficult ? Any heat issues ?

Does that tarp slap ?

Can you just put carpet down on the ground ?


No, kept up all the time. Longest I could find (4" or so). Well. No. No. No. Yes.

If you park tail to the wind (back in) the pop top is angled so the roof is an effective wind wedge and works fine even in 40 knots. The downside is if your sleeping on the bunk it gets pretty cold up there. If I'm alone I drop the roof at night so its quiet and warmer inside.
