Tiki, that is really nice...I wish I had the extra coin right now 'cause I want one ...............

I just came across Kelty's new Carports for SUV's and Vans. They attach to the carrier rail on top and then swing down beside the vehicle or the deluxe model can be elevated out like an awning with two support posts. They're really slick since they have noseeum mesh windows and drop down side awnings for privacy. Check them out at Cabellas or Kelty's websites.

You mean one of these?

Yup, that's one of the models of the Kelty Carport.

We recently received our Sportz Tent. I have been waiting for a dry day to set it up. It's still neatly packed in the bag just screaming at me, SET ME UP!" The only dry days are the days I am working. Cough, cough. I think I may be getting ill and have to take a day off. When I do get it set up I'll take some pics just for you, MJ.

I just orded a Kelty car port for my TD from here Let you know how it works out.

Man, that thing is expensive.

It's all a question of priorities.

I just don't understand that one. To each his own, but for so much money, you could have a full enclosure. (EZ up plus sides.)

I actually tried setting up my tent in the living room. That didn't work out because the tent is a lot larger than I thought.

Yes I do have both the Kelty and the Sportz. I was lucky and caught a sale on both of them. I got the Kelty for $50 and the Sportz for $75. Both places were closing them out.

Like asianflava, I got my large Kelty car port for about $50 on sale a couple of months ago. Best buy I've made in a long while. The sale was posted here on the board. See what happens when you don't read the board. I plan on using it to extend out from my hatch on rainy days.

Have a good day.

Well shucks Gage just had to spend my money on somthing. I can't take it with me and I don't want my wife and her next husband tobe spinding my money

Judy and I saw a tear that a fellow had built that lived down in Alabama and it looked like a factory built tear. He showed us the way he did his covering, awning, porch, side tent. He had on all four corners a piece of steel welded and one of the pipe bases that you can screw the pipe into, so that the pipe will stick up above the tear by about a foot or so. He had welded a metal spike in the end of the pipe. He made a tarp with the gussets to match the spikes on the four pipes and then he just pulled the tarp out on each side with additional poles, and rope and had a nice shelter to sit under and his tear was completely covered. We plan to do ours the same way. When the tear isn't in use we will have a great storage shelter here at home.

We finished our skin yesterday and are just waiting for more money to do our trim now. We still have to build the cabinet doors, drawers and such but we are getting close.

Can you hurry up and do it so I can see some pictures?

I bought the kelty on the same the sale as Gage, but the better half said it wasn't private enough, so I just bought one of these.
