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.
 
Thank you for the warm welcome back.

I absolutely do NOT recommend sleeping in tents with furbabies, leaving them outside at night, or spending your limited funds on a tent if you are low income.

I still have both the screen room SUV tent that goes on the back (Thanks, April!) and the awning (Thanks, Janet!), which is a Kelty Backwoods Shelter.

They do turn the minivan into an "epic land yacht", but if the sewing and other repairs take more time than they're worth, they're going into the dumpsters at La Posa South, lol. Two years is a very good run for the kind of wear I put on them.

I am extremely grateful for the functional rss feed. I'm finding that helps a lot in these difficult times.

No offense is intended to those who travel with and/or live in high quality tents such Springbar or Clam--I'm all ears if you have any recommendations or suggestions.

I'm also on the Chrysler Minivan Fanclub, if you want to talk 4th gen DGC issues there. 👍🏻
 
So that’s not an SUV tent at the back of your van, correct, you’ve just set up a tent at the rear?

My concern, for myself, would be how easy it would be to do this kind of set up alone, doing the widow-traveler thing.
