Weight of an Eezi-Awn?

[devinsixtyseven]

I found size, but not weight specs...all I've read is "heavy" :p.

Anyone know specifics on the different sizes, and where the weight is most concentrated?

Thanks,
Sean

I have weighed my 1200:

Tent: 98 Lbs.
Ladder: 14 Lbs.

my 1600:

tent & ladder 130lbs

[devinsixtyseven]

...That's actually better than I thought. Any guesses as to where the bulk is located in the tent? Plywood, mattress...frame?

[pskhaat]

My 2200 I think is a few hairs over 150lbs.

That's almost like driving with a Backstreet Boy in your trunk!

Now how would you know that?

:lurk:

I can dream :littlefriend:

That's a pile of weight. I'd never thought they were that much. Think I'll stick with sleeping on the ground ;)

LOL
No way, I'm done sleeping on the ground unless absolutely necessary! :tent:

But they aren't even that big - do they use steel poles and canvas? Just trying to guage this against say a standard cabin tent. Think I'll do some experimentation with some of my old aluminum tent poles and some ripstop I have lying around :D

In case anyone cares... There may soon be tents available from another source... They will be good quality nylon and aluminum construction. Weight is around 65 lbs. Probably more of a 2 season maybe 3 season (if you're tuff! :REOutCampFire03:) tent. No pricing yet, however the construction cost is not bad.

I've got another question about the eezi-awns. Is there any problem opening the rear door of a 100 or like sized truck with the ladder down?

[LUISJG]

Well the 1200 will give you 48 inches of space between the vehicle and the ladder

It would really depend on how you mount it. You have 4 different ways of mounting it.

biggest advantages are a) easy of setup and take-down, and b) getting distance between yourself and any critters idigenous to the area. I can see this being a great value in a desert climate in keeping out the visitors ... snakes, scorpions, spiders, etc. etc.

What i know about this , it is the same tent NOT THE ONE PICTURED THOUGH..., and arb will not be able to sell in the usa, if they do they wont have a market , why, becasue they will have to sell it for double the price or more in the US, and there will be someone selling it for half of that o a third "same tent", all this is because of territory
contract protection from the manufacturer, chinese in this case.
