Been wondering about the effectiveness of the travelling cover for keeping the dust out...

Have you used it in the rain... ?

I must say it's a damned side easier to handle (17kg) than the 60kg monster I have on the camper at the moment..
cheers

Hi Hoges,
Had some howling gales and pretty major downpours, no problems at all. The flaps on the end do flap around in the winds, they won't sit down flat so always catch the breeze. It also kept mozzies out really well, see my latest post in my County's thread for a pic.
I have driven a fair few dirt roads in the dry, and still more in the wet, and the tent is still clean and dry.
The only trouble with moisture ingress was when I was packing up at 7am before the dew had dried, got a few moisture spots on the cotton inner where it all folded up. It all dried quickly when I set up again 12 hours later.
Also, the mattress might be okay for summer but it has almost no thermal insulation, so I had to use a thermarest in it to keep me warm. Would only need the lightweight hike (~15mm?) thermarests as its only for insulation, it is comfortable enough as is.
Takes 3 minutes between engine off and putting bags in tent, slightly longer to pack up, and half the time is taken un/strapping the ladder. I used the roof as a porch so a doormat was necessary to stop from scuffing the roof too.

Today's set up. First trip for 2m tent. Still a classic fly as the ordered jumbo fly didn't arrive. First time up with two kids helping,16 minutes from stopping to awning, table, tent, bedding and food/BBQ all completely set up.

They must have had a fair bit of rain here, the ground is very boggy. Glad we're camped above it.

How did you like the 2m Hannibal?

Nice set up. Just about to fit the brackets for a table myself.

Really impressed. Takes no longer to set up than the last one. As yet the wife has been working every weekend so it's only been me and two kids. Obviously heaps of room, but can see that there will be enough space for the four of us.
An issue with the 2m is that the bed bases don't line up when opening. But now that I know that it's easy to remedy while opening.

That table is very handy. How are you storing it in the vehicle.
Kenley.
