    I absolutely love these things and after doing the video on them I realized how great these would be for my lifestyle with the new camper. When the camper is off, I can mob the jeep and live out of this thing!

      I am a part time "live out of my pickup" kind of person. I have been considering a covered utility trailer for camping. This looks like it mught be a better alternative, and cheaper as well. I have been using tarps for life outside the pickup, but with multiple physical issues, and age, the constant bending over to set them up and tear down has become more and more of an issue. I have contacted the company, and will probably be getting one, with a vesitibule, when they become available again. Thinking this would be ideal for winter camping with a little buddy heater.

      Ice fishing tents are identical and 1/3-1/4 the price. Plus not having the reflective material it will absorbed warmth from sun. Look into Eskimo,Strikemaster, frabill, clam brands same thing minus shiny outside

    • @Funkteon
      @Funkteon 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exactly - These ShiftPods are just an overpriced Ice Fishing Tent.. The company that makes these things are just hoping nobody has a friend from a cold climate who will point them toward much better options from Eskimo (among other brands) who offer the same tent design for a fraction of the cost..

    I just started looking at these and the Gazelle tents this week. Sold my RTT yesterday in favor of the Shiftpod 2. Going to call them tomorrow to verify a couple questions I have, but 99% sure they are getting my business. Price be damned, the space and convenience makes up for the price!
    I'd consider a pop up ice fishing tent for price, but they don't have floors, and being in the Pacific Northwet.. a floor is necessary.

    How well does the surface of the Shiftpod resist UV light damage? I guess if you are in really hot bright sun you can always somehow pitch up a shade cloth additionally. Rain fly for rain?

    • @WNTRCMPR
      @WNTRCMPR ปีที่แล้ว

      It comes with what SHIFTPOD calls a ‘blast shield’ to help with UV and really bad weather. It would be similar to a rain fly for mere mortal tents.
