Buying a wall tent! Some help please.
« on: October 02, 2011, 08:11:31 PM »
Ok, got the wife a brand new car, so she is all happy.
Now to buisness. I want a Davis 12x14 wall tent with all the cool stuff ( angles & stove, etc ). The problem is im not seeing how they will ship it to me, said it wasnt available to ship to my home address. So option B is to go to warehouse sports and buy a Montana tent (with the same crap) for a little more but no shipping.
Am i missing somthing, hunting season is getting close and i would love to have a Davis tent but i wont wait to find out i cant have it last min..
I know what I want 12x14 witha window in the back, zipper door with screen and the flap, 5" chimny whole (i think), frame angles and the wood stove that matches.

Ok what am i missing or need to know or whatever, please give you thoughts.

Did you call or try the internet?  I would call if you haven't.  Also I think there is a good tent manufacture in your area?

Check Craiglist. I got mine for $1K, for a  12 x 17 and  although it was used 4 times, it comes with everything including stove. I'm happy.

got the same tent from davis tent, they shipped it all to me. Get the kings package deal, ten, stove, cots, angle pieces,  cut your own poles, the will send u a cut list with exact measurements. 1 inch conduit  gey it at home depot.
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Check out Rainier Industries in Kent.  They typically have kits in stock.  I have their entire 12'x14 set up and love it.

Definately get a treated canvus, Such as sunforger or the latest version. Your tent will last a life time. Good Luck.

You will love a wall tent when you get it. When I bought mine I made sure it had 5' side walls. Seen some with 4' and I sure like the higher side walls.

Had mine for two years now.  Great tent and setup.  As Right PLace stated, you can drive over and pick it up yourself.  Just south of Walla Walla.  Great people and great service!  And get the bigger stove if it fits your budget.  I upsized from the one they suggested.  This way, if you ever add a cook porch, you'll have a big enough stove to heat that as well.
