Introduction
- these are 1P and 2P TC cotton tents with large front and rear dual mesh/fabric doors and are designed to be used inside a larger larger tents without integrated floors to act as fly tents or hot tents, although could be used by itself in fair weather when there is no wind or rain
- the frame is easier to set up and pack up than the similar Vidalido Land Yu 2Persons TC Cotton S-T139 Tent but is much less rigid
- the 1P version fits nicely with a Winnerwell wood stove in the OneTigris Rock Fortress teepee style Hot Tent or NatureHike Sand Dune 7.6 hot tent
- unfortunately does not come in a 3P version but similar TC cotton tents with dual layered doors in 3P version are:
- GOOUT Springhill Penglai 3P Kangaroo tent
- 4.6kg 220x195x130cm inner tent is $AU423
- 2.3kg 210D fly with TPU ceiling to see sky is $AU216
Specs
- 230G black TC polyester cotton fabric
- features
- breathable cotton (you can still see light sources through the black fabric so it is not blockout but still helps to keep it dark and is great for privacy)
- UPF50+ UV protective
- moisture absorption
- BUT is NOT waterproof
- 3000mm PU 210D floor
- high density 20D polyester mesh
- 7001 aluminium alloy poles
- 2 half sets each with two hubs - just join the hubs together and place legs into each corner of tent then clip tent on
- tip: to join the horizontal pole from one side with the hub on the other, push both poles downwards until the hub and horizontal pole are horizontal
- take care not to let the ends of the poles flick up with force whilst setting up or packing up as they could tear a hole in your outer tent
- supplied with 210D polyester ground sheet and 4 pegs
- NB. these are inner tents - they do NOT have a fly and are not waterproof in the rain and would not do well in the unprotected wind
- doesn't have the zipper for power cords
- 1P: 3.9kg 220x90x132cm packs to 50x19x16cm
- this is a generously sized extra-tall 1P tent which will fit either:
- a large king sized stretcher bed will just fit snugly such as the Wanderer Premium King stretcher (207 long x 78 wide x 30cm high) and still plenty of height to easily sit on the stretcher
- a Blackwolf Hexatherm XL Single 3D mattress (200L x 90W x 10H cm) fits width-wise very snugly and leaving plenty of room at one end for a standard 100Ah battery box or other accessories
- 2P: 5.1kg 220x160x139cm packs to 50x20x20cm;
- one of the few 2P tents where a Zempire Twin Monstabed will fit snuggly inside it
- will just fit sideways inside the NatureHike Sand Dune 7.6 hot tent with rear door aligning with the Dune rear door but fabric may contact outer tent causing water ingress during heavy rain and it is too close to have the wood stove
- will easily fit longways inside the NatureHike Sand Dune 7.6 hot tent but you essentially lose access to 3 of it doors with only one side door offering easy access
- the Vidalido Land Yu 2Persons TC Cotton S-T139 Tent is a much better fit for the NatureHike Sand Dune 7.6 hot tent
- a better tent for this 2P tent is the wider and longer NatureHike Sand Dune 10.9 hot tent
- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005978226887.html ~$AU232 for 1P and ~$AU282 for 2P
3F UL Gear Kangaroo 2P tent
Compared to Vidalido Land Yu tent
- the 3F UL tents:
- have poles which are MUCH EASIER to set up and pack up as they are essentially two half sets which join at each end
- have poles which are much less rigid and do flex a LOT so would not be useful for putting heavier clothes on top, or use in unprotected wind
- have better quality materials - more secure clip bases, thicker fabric (230G vs 130G), mesh and floor (210D 3000mm PU vs 200D 2500mm PU)
- are wider and taller and have a slightly asymmetric design with rear side slightly lower to allow fitting better in tents with sloping rear doors
- but do not have a power cord zipper
- are significantly heavier due to the fabric
- fasteners have reflective components to see them better at night (need to add these yourself to the Vidalido zips)
- supplied with a ground sheet (don't get one with the Vidalido)
- large storage areas at each end are elevated rather than just above the tub floor
- have a 1P version as well as a 2P version
