    Yurt vs Travel Trailer - Cost & Comfort Considerations

    http://www.shelter-systems.com/solor-dome.html According to the Shelter Systems site (link above), one man can set up a 20' yurt in 30 minutes. I will beg to say 1 hour when including the learning curve. However, they concur that any size bigger will require two people to set it up.

    Pinnacle Tents (pop-up tent) - opinions?

    I am actually interested in the 20-foot dome as I would use it as a living and dining room in the daytime. Then, sleep in the van at night time.  With practice, it can take 30 minutes to set up the yurt, but it may be an hour initially. Although, I do not think it would be such an inconvenience...
