New Davis wall tent coming my way!

[Jason]

Last year my Cousin and I looked at all the tent manufactures at the Sportsman show in Portland, we both really liked the Davis tents so my Cousin ordered his 15x18 right away. I decided a month ago that I really liked my cousins Davis tent and it was time I stepped up to a nice white wall tent. To do this I needed to sell my 16x16 Army tent, so I put my Army tent on Craigslist and sold it a couple weeks ago for $400.
So this morning I ordered a new Tent from Roy at Davis Tent
I went with a 16x20, added a window to the back wall, two stove jacks (I couldn't decide where I wanted the stove so I just went with two stove jacks), added a screen door and also added the Colorado door to the front in case the zipper fails. He gave me a $100 discount and free shipping since i'll pick it up at the Sportsmans show next month.

Sounds like a great setup.  Did you order a frame too?  If not, buy the angles and build the frame from conduit.

Have fun with your new toy.

been thinking about a wall tent for a while now. 9.5' camper gets awful small after a week. nice purchase, you will be happy with it for sure.

I'm going to miss the old setup, mainly because I was never worried about someone stealing it while it was in the
the mountains for 3 weeks straight every year. But now I'll save money in propane.

Here's where I decided to put my two 6" stove jacks

Picked up my new tent tonight at the PNW Sportsman show can't wait for nicer weather to get hear so I can set it up. And while I was waiting for my tent I ran into Elksnout, we were both getting tents  from Davis.

how did you know which angles to get?  my angles are wrong for my tent, cause the fly is open by 2 feet.  confused in othello.  mike w

The company should tell you which angles you need.  Mine are 120 degree angles(wilderness tent from the wall tent shop), and I think most are.   Call them and ask.   Did you measure your tent before cutting the frame?  Tents vary in sizes and the angles need to be taken in to consideration when cutting the frame to length.

Miles already touched on it, but my first thought after reading your post was that your rafter pipes are cut to long.  What kind of tent do you have, and where did you get the frame joints?  How do you know the angle of the joints is correct?
