Not transparent. There is a black screen on the windows and doors, then you can zip the windows up and yes it gets very dark by doing that.

@@HoneymoonersOffroadAdventures thanks

@@HoneymoonersOffroadAdventures I guess what I'm wondering is - if one seals up the shelter, either on a cold day or to use air conditioning, is there enough light coming through to see and get around or are you in total darkness? Just about all of my camping is in the desert, and I'd like to run a/c and take a break during the hottest part of the day, but would prefer it not to be in pitch darkness.

@@FrancisBecka no it’s not complete darkness when completely sealed up. We would recommend getting a strand of lights to put up in there to help, but it won’t be completely dark in the daylight. Some light will still come through the walls.

@@loopstermt5091 Thanks again

No, just ports for a heater or AC

When it rains there aren't "leaks" but kind of like a regular tent, if you're inside and touch the sides your hands will be wet.

This would be to big for the patio. It's about 14' across each way.

They hold up really well. We've had them in 50+ mph winds, staked down and no issues. Also, it comes with a rain fly to use in the rain. Again, no issues as long as you let it dry completely before tearing it down. Our favorite is the medium as it's a great size.

I haven’t heard that on these. Usually in reference to the actual tents use for toilet and shower

It's got insulation and very well made, I have the shift pod mini 3

Yet people will easily spend $15-30,000, or more on a trailer/RV when most of the time they are using it, it is spent crammed into tiny campsites with dozens of other 'campers'. Only to enjoy the gridlock of camping in a campground for a couple of weeks, then they park it for the rest of the year. Yes, it is on the spendy side for "Just a tent popup", but much stouter and quieter than most tents as well. I have spent time in those other tents, and it is an entirely different experience in a Shiftpod. At least try and experience one prior to judging. They do have issues, mostly with condensation, but also, completely setting one up, with stakes, zipping in floors, and putting on the blast shield (highly recommend), takes about 30 minutes for this crippled up old man. I wish they would quit saying it takes 2 minutes to set up, that is BS. I have the Shiftpod 3, and it is a real plus to be able to hang out and fully stand up in when needed, and quite comfy.

@@choosesomethingfun5608 Thank you.

Very nice meeting you as well. We will be back 😊

I would recommend going with the Shiftpod 3. Full kit weighs about 68lbs. This link will show you the difference th-cam.com/video/W6fBtJ5hV3Q/w-d-xo.html

I am 70 and own the Shiftpod 3. Indeed the struggle to lift and store in a vehicle is real. Packed up, it is almost 6.5 feet long., and just barely fits in my 6.5 foot long pickup bed. Personally, I would not use it where I will be packing up and moving every day or two. For that kind of travel, I would just sleep in the back of the pickup OTOH, it would be worth it, for me anyway, if I was staying in the same spot for three or more days.. It is roomy and comfortable, and I can stand fully upright in spite of the fact I am 6'2", and could easily accomodate two people and their gear. That is a far cry better than being in the back of a pickup w/canopy, when Mom nature calls at 0200 hours. It's a fine shelter, but takes a bit of work to get it loaded. I load one end in, then lift the other end up and slide it the rest of the way in. Not easy for me, but doable.

The ATM was Wells Fargo and the exchange place was about a block and a half away.

Thank you. We agree as we were newbies and thought we could help others out from our experience. It was an awesome trip and we will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time. We are definitely going back 😊

@@HoneymoonersOffroadAdventures this is Robin. Hope you are on your next great adventure!!💜💜

@Kevin Sanford we are! Heading over to Missouri to be storytellers at the MOORE Expo in Springfield, then back to Flagstaff in May for Expo West. Should be back in Montana early June. We will have to stop in and see you 😊

Awesome!!! Will be excited to see you!! I will keep following 💜💜

Thank you. We will get that fixed!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We agree with you that Utah is an amazing place with tons to offer. We hope you can get back to enjoying it in person one of these days soon 😊

Thank you so much! And thank you to your children for their service. If you are interested, check out our nonprofit organization www.homewardforheroes.org that supports military, veterans and first responders 😊

Yes we’ve done that one too a few years back. Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

The transmission was worn out. The output shaft was razor sharp and had over 1/4 inch of movement. With 271K miles on it I figured better just get a rebuilt one since it was out. Clutch had about 20% left so we replaced it with a Centerforce stage 2. We tow about 85% of the time.

Very much looking forward to it and some new adventures with you guys 😊

Yes, definitely looking forward to this adventure.

Thank you for this! Hopefully that will help others as well 🙂

Tires didn’t chirp much. Engine was only running on 5 cylinders so even that didn’t sound good. Lol

@@HoneymoonersOffroadAdventures lol fair enough

Was definitely a fun challenge for sure. We had a lot of fun doing it.

I think it’s just a matter of personal preference to be honest. We’ve been on the road for over a year and have met numerous women that cook this way and enjoy it, as does my wife. But not for everyone out there.

@@HoneymoonersOffroadAdventures thank you for the reply. Great video and an amazing camper.

@@n8prkr thank you! We really appreciate that 😊

We wipe it clean with paper towels and that goes into the trash. We are from Montana so we have bears to. No issues so far.

A deep cycle battery is cheaper then a solar generator and does the same thing.

I’ve have full time traveler friends that use a solar generator and use these panels to recharge the generator. So if you are just a weekend camper both solar generator and solar panels are a waste of money. A lot of us keep our vehicles electrical system stock as it can lead to potential electrical issues. On my trailer I run 2 100 amp deep cycle batteries an up to 600w/30amp Solar as we are full timers and work remotely. So with having to keep charges on laptops, cameras, video equipment and a fridge this works awesome and worth every cent.
