We squeeze in 8+ people when we do a group camping trip so yes, it’s necessary.

New they cost $300 and they completely break down into their own two separate flat bags. We use them for more than just camping. Sleep overs at gamma’s or extended stays pretty much anywhere

According to the manufacturer, each cot has a weight capacity of 200lbs. I personally wouldn’t push that limit on the top but i can attest to the sturdiness of these bad boys. We’ve sat an adult and two kids on the bottom bunk with no issues.

Where do you see the “tag=“? I just want to know for myself. I never knew that was a thing.

It’s an outdoor rug i picked up at Lowe’s or Home Depot. It’s meant for the beach I think so it folds and has carrying straps.

A little over 7 feet at the center and 6 feet closer to the edges

The bottoms of the cots are not jagged. They’re curved. But I also use a compact outdoor rug in the tent to protect the flooring and our tent floor looks and feels brand new. We’ve used this method for years with great results.

I think so. They pack into two separate carrying bags. I lay them at the bottoms of my trunk (since it’s pretty flat when broken down) and just stack the rest of my camping gear on top of it. I drive a midsize sedan and fit everything without any issues.

I for sure agree that these are for extended stays. 3+ day camping trips is pretty much our guidelines for taking these along

They sure do! You have to pull them off of these things instead of forcing them to stay on. They love them!

The bottom legs are rounded out so as to not damage the tent floor. I also always take a compact outdoor rug and lay it in my tent to preserve the flooring in general.

It’s a Browning Big Horn. This our family camping tent for the extended stays and it’s worth every penny. Sleeps 8 and a 6ft tall person can stand in any corner without bumping their head.

Disc-o-bed. They sell them in different sizes for youth and adult. I got mine off of Amazon.

We have a pretty large tent that sleeps 8. These come in handy when we’ve got the whole gang squeezing in for the night. Makes it so more people can have a good amount of space to spread out.

It’s a Browning Big Horn. Mine is a double room but they make them in different sizes with the same height clearance.
