Appreciate This A Year Later,Thank You For Showing How The Stand Functions

So I put up my brand new Kodiak flex bow canvas tent in back yard. Been raining for about 3 hours now. I went into the tent and the wall where the door and the window is on the opposite side of the "porch" side is soaked and wet on the INSIDE of the tent. The condensation is very thick and wet. I even feel cool condensation on the floor around there. And door and window is securely closed. All other walls and ceiling are dry inside except that whole section of the window and door that is exposed to the rain - and even the cloth between the door and window and around (dark cloths). I am major disappointed because I have read dozen of reviews that say after several days of major down pours of rain, the tents are bone dry inside. Well mine is not on that side. I will have to make shift a tarp over that if I go camping.

How’s year down?

Would love that setup even more if it came with a 2 + person sleeping area. Maybe DoD will come up with one in the future. And being poly cotton is a huge plus. Now you just need to do a rain test for leakage. Oh, one more thing! Maybe they could add a stove jack for winter camping.

great video awesome setups love the rooftop tent and the swag.

Thanks for the video and honesty. I appreciate you going the whole 9 yards.

Very nice!!!!

I like the swag. The mattress and quality would be an upgrade from my Nitecat.

Great review , I had never heard of this line of tent by Big Agnes. Sounds like a good tent to carry in your car . I have the Copper Spur 1 and 2 person. Love them , but very fragile. I travel by motorcycle, so they are great for low weight.

That pillow feature is very nice! BA don’t even mention that in their description. Thank you so much for your review. There is a 55% off right now so it’s a no brainier! I’m getting 2.

Nice

I’d camp that

Great camp guys !!🏕️ that Mat is a pretty good wood splitter ! Now I see why you bring him along 🤣 fantastic looking burgers ! Nice setups ! Something about a nice campfire 🔥!! Glad you slept well! Enjoyed brother 👍🏼🔥🏕️

Very convinient way to camp for sure, just pop up the rooftop tent and bam, ready to go. Sam Hima makes some good stuff. Thanks for the swag and the company. Let's do it again soon!

Did you have to relocate your spare tire before installing the hitch? If so I'd be interested in seeing the relocation video. Thank you for the video

Awesome set ups! Great weather to camp in 🎉

You are not supposed to need a rain tarp for the Kodiac Canvas tents. I have seen videos where it rained for days and the Kodiac canvas tents were bare outside and no rain got in at all. Why are you putting up a rain tent?

I have one-$15

Have you taken this Kodiak tent moto camping ?

The one thing I don't like is that it doesn't have an upper vent (or 2).

Anyone know if these things go on sale during the winter months? Really want one, but I won't use it much until next spring. Also, is there much of an upgrade from XL to Safari?

I would love to see an overnight camp in this tent. I'm getting older and like the idea of the elevated tent. Also is there a way to tie the tent to the cot.

I have the suma 3.... Big enough for 2 with space. I use it mostly for car camping, couple or with my kids or kayak-camping trips. Bit heavy for backpacking but well made, waterproof and easy to set up. Looks nice too. The price was amazing (around 120$) when I got it.

Thank you for your vid ! I just bought one , going camping at Garner state park in 2 weeks 😁

Great video but isn't the haven XL pad 80x 30? Not 77x30?

These time lapses accompanied by classical music are really cool

25:14 was hoping to see getting in that in a sleeping bag. :) Haven XL for me 100%

I was going to purchase the true level pad but after seeing this, you have me wondering, does this actually make you lay flat? Not sure the best option?!

sorry but that's not enough tent.

Hey Buddy! 👍

Just ordered my 2 person for $74.88 total. Thanks for letting us know✌🏼

Thanks for sharing!

How will this fit in the haven safari

Would show more of the trailer hitch adapter? Thanks.

Thanks for a great review. I just purchased a Top Luxe with confidence for my XL since the True Levels are unavailable.. Have you tried the Top Luxe in the Safari to see if your experience may be hammock related? Do you have any experience with an Expedited Megamat 10 in these? I saw one video showing the fit, but the presenter never got in the hammock. Lastly, "taco effect" is in reference to the sides curling in. Banana effect is the correct term for the foot and head ends curving up. Thanks again for your work, you've saved me a lot of headache wondering what to do with the standard pad.

Wow that is huge !! Looks like half teepee half circus tent !! Plenty of room in there for sure !! That stinks to see you still sweating down there !! Stay cool brother !! Nice review 👍🏼⛺️

Behold of the future of a swag in a cot. 💯👍🏽👏🛌

Great vid!

having it for a month now, how is it holding up? have you tried it in rain and wind and if so does it hold up well?

Dang, that thing is big, and awesome!

Contrary to your setup. You should attach the Haven closer to the head end attachment point & further from the foot end attachment point. A offset shift raises the head end & lowers the foot end. It allows the Tensa4 frame to stay steady, letting the anchor strap take the load, with the center of gravity of the tent shifted further toward the head. Also attaching a second anchor strap at the foot end of the Tensa4 is a smart idea, it just needs to be a little slack, but always ready, to catch that end from "mousetrapping" if you cross the line, causing it to tip.

Im thinking about getting the safari with the true level pad for winter camping but im concerned about the weight limit. Im just under 250 and i think with winter camping gear and clothing id be about 10-15 lbs heavier. How does it do when you get a lot of weight in there?

Just bought one and it won't turn on

I know we are suppose to travel with the propane off. Right? Turning the propane off is on my to do list after unpacking. Your valve is mounted right by the tire. A flat could possibly break your valve off. Propane on a hot brake rotor could go boom. Umm I see your blackstone has a LONG extension why not just install the fittings, you have already, to the propane regulator that you mentioned you already have as well. Same-same and no boob. Easy job for you but most of the people reading. This are new to the RV game as well and we should be giving out quality advice.

Thanks for reviewing this tent! I have been really impressed with the DoD gear I've bought. I've had my eye on this tent, but there aren't many videos other than Japanese set up videos, but none have the in-depth specs and shots that you've provided! I would love for you to do a test with this tent in weather! My only hesitation is that I live in the Pacific Northwest and I usually get a day or two of rain with each trip and I haven't seen many videos of Poly Cotton tents in heavy rain. Also, I hope they bring their Solo Soul Wow Wow tent to the US site. It's a similar idea to this but a bit bigger and taller. Thanks again, your channel rocks!

Like your vids! But you always sound like you're gasping for air. Hope all is good!

Hello are you using the universal size or the adventure size? It seems your saying universal and adventure there different.

If you have trekking poles they work great to double as tarp or awning poles. Mine will extend up to 158cm.

What’s the brand/model of cot? BTW, have you tried setting this up in your truck bed? Great demo!

Great looking setup kernel !! I like the idea of having it on top of a cot !! Looks pretty comfy in there too !! Still looks pretty hot down there! Nice video 👍🏼😊🏕️
