Canvas Wall Tent?
« on: April 26, 2011, 12:42:03 PM »
Anyone know where you can get a canvas wall tent that doesn't cost $800-$1,300. We brought the new 5th wheel last year and I hated having to be that clean. I'd rather have a elk camp with the canvas tent.

You can find Army tents for a decent price.

Keep your eyes open on this and other hunting websites.  Craigslist is also another good place.  Assuming yopu are not needing one right away, you should be able to find a great deal on a used tent this way. :twocents:

Craigslist has had a few really good deals on wall tents lately. I have two already and am looking for another 10x12. The thing about craigslist is the good deals go really fast so you have to check the site on a regular basis and be prepared to jump on the deal when you see it.Buddy of mine picked up a 12x 16 for 650$ with a rain fly,internal frame, and a stove.Keep an eye on craigslist.

Watch the want ads. I bought a 14x16 nine years ago for 300 bucks from an old timer who was hanging it up. Never know.
Can't we all just get along?

we use a 12x20 costco car port. only cost $200 and stays at our camp spot for the last 5 years. no canvas to rot, no haul out, and keeps you dry. It is kind of noisey when it rains.

I bought a 16'X20' canvas wall tent with a frame from the White Elephant in the Spokane Valley last summer for about $800.
Took it to Montana last November and camped for a week in weather that went as low as -20 with the windchill.  Lots of room (16x20 was bigger than I thought it would be), and the little barrel stove kept us plenty warm.  The only downside was that when the wind was howling it was a bit drafty, and you had to keep getting up during the night and stoking the fire because those small barrel stoves won't hold enough wood to last a full night. :twocents:

Can someone confirm that the April specials at Davis tents is just the canvas or does that include the frame work?
