Obligatory introduction post from newbie. I'm so glad that the forum is still here and will upgrade my membership when I can.

You may also know me as Feather from the Zoom meetings.

I busk.
 
Welcome, and you have an SUV tent, it looks like?

How do you like it?

I almost bought one of these, was discouraged from taking my dog into bear country in anything soft sided like this so I did not.

I am rig-less as of last year, in part because of the 15 year old dog, but depending on how she does and I do I may get one of these in a few years.
 
And welcome!

I had a friend many years ago who had one of those pickup bed tents....it's like adding a room on when camping.

Please keep us posted about your adventures!
