Kamp Rite Collapsible Tent Cot

[NuggetHoarder]

I tie it down to the roof rack because my car & truck are too small to fit it inside with much room to spare for other gear.

Have you traveled through a rainstorm with the tent packed up on the roof? Does the tent get soaking wet through and through if it's sitting on the roof? I'd like to put it on the roof rack, but I'm afraid it would get completely soaked if I drive though the rain.

I live in California, where it doesn't rain during camping season.

But to answer your question, no it does not have a waterproof storage bag. If you were to do what I do, you'd be better off putting the Tentcot into a roof storage box or inside your vehicle.

But once you have the Tentcot set up at camp, if it starts raining you will stay dry. It has a very well designed rain fly which keeps it both dry and toasty inside (all things considered).

So has anyone used the collapsable yet? How was it so far? Does this model come with the rain fly or is it an option like on the other tentcots?

I've been using the collapseable model for about a year, and I have been very pleased with it. Easy set up and take down, and it takes up much less room than my old oversized model. The TC701 does come with a rain fly.

Your website indicates that a "fitted waterproof cover" is for outside the US only. Is that different than the rainfly?

I apologize for the confusion. It does infact come with a rainfly.

I don't know why that verbage is in there.

Here is a list of the contents:
The COLLAPSIBLE COMBO TENTCOT is as comfortable being used as a TentCot as it is a Cot only or a Tent.
Within seconds, the shelter component of the COLLAPSIBLE COMBO TENTCOT can be unzipped from the Cot and separated. The package comes complete with the required accessories for all functions. Ground Pegs, Rain Fly and Carry Bag.

Also from the site.

Yep, I saw both the "with" and "without" verbiage on the same page, hence my confusion

Do the collapsible models come only one size?

When seperated does the tent part still have a floor? I've thought that if it does I might make a small plywood platform for my M416 trailer to attach the tent part to. This way I've got a micro Trailer top tent. I'd make the platform so it was just big enough for the tent footprint. Also make it so I could easily mount it long wise on one side or crosswise on the trailer. Add a self inflating pad. Good to go in a moments notice. I could probably also mount it to the roof rack on my truck if I wanted on occasion.

Yes the tent can be used as a stand alone unit. It does have a floor.

Thanks for the info.
