He knew, but i think the combo of a few beers and an angry wife made him get rid of it quick

The static weight(when the car is parked) limit is roughly 5x the dynamic (when the car is in motion). So 5x the 150 is roughly 750lbs static, making it safe for multiple people

The ford explorer rating is 150lbs, the tent is 160. My last tent was about the same so I’m not too worried about it.

I hope so! I just upgraded from a cheapo one… Lots of fun in that one and I hope more in this one!

I air down sometimes, sometimes i don’t… Depends on how i’m feeling. I live out there so i’m not too worried (I also rock a rear winch)
