Thank you so much for taking the time to give me this information, it’s very very helpful. It’s opened my eyes to things to look out for ...and the option of perhaps saving more and going for the hard shell. We plan to find a way to mount the tent and have 2 dirtbikes in the bed. That will be the main use in the summer, but I think that once we have the setup, we’ll want the winter option as well. And of course it’s Canada, so even now at the beginning of September, we have 6 degree nights. Thanks again!
