What is the opinion of the list on the tents Ron is offering? Thinking maybe I need one with a floor. Other than that they sound kinda nice. Mick Kalber Tropical Visions Video, Inc. 62 Halaulani Place Hilo, Hawaii 96720 ph. 808-935-5557 fax 808-935-0066 hotlava@interpac.net www.volcanoscapes.com
I just obtained 4 Bus or Vanagon driveaway side tents from a supplier in Germany, at a very good price of $399. That's about the going rate for used tents, when you can even find them. This is a really nice tent, too. It looks great, and goes together much faster than many others I've seen. In fact one of my employees bought one of them as soon as he saw it, so now we're down to 3. The tent attaches to the bus via a pole that rests in the rain gutter and clamps on using four small "C-clamps." This means that you don't need to mount a track or any other permanent item to your vehicle; you just clamp it on when using it, and remove the clamps when you're done. The clamps even have rubber inserts so they won't scratch your paint. The tent itself has a zippered door facing the sliding door of your van, so when it's attached to the van you can easily walk between the van and the tent. If you drive away, you just zip the flap closed and you have a freestanding tent. On the other side of the tent (facing out) is a zippered "front door," and also a clear plastic window complete with curtains! That whole side of the tent can be rolled up to create somewhat of an awning. The front of the tent (facing the front of the bus) has a screened window with a roll-up cover. The tent is fairly large (footprint is about 12 feet by 7 feet) and has no floor. It is mostly gray, with some blue. It includes bags for the tent and the poles. The part number is A0022. There is a slightly fuzzy picture of the tent at http://199.217.241.240/partsimages/awning2.JPG . No further listmember discount will apply because my profit margin is very small. Once the three I have left are gone, there will probably be a two month wait until I have more. You can order toll-free by part number at 1-888-819-DEPOT, or via the website. - Ron Salmon The Bus DepotŪ, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _______________________________________________ ORDER BY PART # TOLL FREE: 1-888-819-DEPOT |
