Can anyone tell me where to buy one of these please ?  [The Blue thingy.]  It sort of looks like a quarter or half Dome Tent.
Cheers,

I dont know but it is a good idea! never seen one before!

I saw one recently.while camping........but wont see them before Easter

BCF about $123 has zip in rear and front or there is the cheaper version without the zip in sections for about 69. Great idea for day trippers to a water hole where you can drive up to the bank Could have done with one out a Keepit Dam last week

Don't know anything else about them David ? Cheers, xina.

Hi Wombat, The only ones I can find [ on the net ] at BCF seem to be open at the back. Do these same ones zip up at the back? I will go in and check them out on Friday anyway , providing the roads are open by then. Cheers, xina.

Been trying to upload a pic. of it after scanning it, but it won't let me.

Cheers,
xina.

Just a suggestion but could you email the seller of the van to ask where he bought it (the tent thingy, that is)?

It really looks like a great idea Xina, hope you can find one mate.

Hi Xina, look at  the BCF catalogue ...google ("Boating Camping Fishing") ...theres a store near Gosford. They do zip up the back and look fast and light to put up. About $130....good for a short stop but maybe a bit flimsy as an annex.
 Im looking at the  Oztent  which goes up in 30 sec,  is tough as and has an awning you can drive away from so van is independent and the outside gear can stay in the leanto tent....expensive, about $1000 but in some ways better than a rollout awning.
 

Hi Denise,
Going to check them out at BCF on Friday.  Still tossing up about the OZ-Tent.  Having Emphysema, I have to take weight into consideration for later on, when my breathing gets worse, and it is a bit heavy for me now.
In a few years time, it might be too much.   It was my first choice, until I lifted one.   If they made a lighter model, I'd grab it like a shot.

Cheers,
xina.

Sorry to hear about your illness xina ...its a horrible thing.   Hope you find something that works for you!   :)

Wasn't looking for sympathy guys. Just explaining why I'd like something lighter.
I'm fine.  
Cheers,
xina.

No offence intended Xina, My mother has emphysema I guess it looms large  for me.

well you got my sympathy and respect for what it's worth!

'nuff said guys, but thanks for the thoughts. I did it to myself, and I don't think of myself as being sick. Cheers, xina.
