Slightly different question, but who makes / where did you get the gray box at the side of your tent (beneath the Jerry)? I'm looking for something similar.

Thx

My wife and two kids were quite happy using it on a 6 week trip to Darwin. My wife and I camped in it for 100 nights on a trip to Broome.
It is not quite as quick to put up as some others because it has more vertical walls than some that have the frame fixed around the top.
However it was still very quick and simple. Slip four poles into sleeves around the top, drive in four pegs and raise the centre pole. My 10yr old son could erect the tent in less time than it took me to get the chairs, table, stove, food, sleeping bags and air beds out of the back of the LR. An Oztent might be erected in 30 secs, but I didn't mind spending an extra 90 -120 secs for the sake of something that was a lot easier to store in the back of the LR.
It is easier to store than something like the Oztent and has more standing room than a dome tent.
Even though it was mid-price range and had a lot of use over 20 years, the only repair needed was a new vertical zip on the door. It was actually only the metal slide that wore out.

I'm sure that the top of the range tents are better quality, but a mid-price one can do the job very well and can last a long time.

Allan, do you still have it, if so do you want to sell it, Regards Frank.
