This is my home away from home :
The tent has an awning ( two actually , on adjacent sides so you can choose which works best for the campsite ) , a snorkel which attaches to the van via magnets and straps , and a fly to help keep things dry inside , and cooler on hot sunny days . The snorkel permits four modes when using the interior of the van to sleep : open with no barrier to the tent , tailgate closed and locked for maximum privacy , a net window to allow flow through from tent to van or a fabric privacy screen if parents are sleeping in the van while kids are sleeping in the tent and need ‘supervision’ .
It takes about 20 minutes to set up , and goes up more easily with two than alone .
The van I have had for eleven years , and except for impact with a bear ( the bear lost that argument ) it has been without problems .
