New Davis wall tent coming my way!

[Jason]

mind me asking the final price 

Mine was $1200 after discounts.

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

Not sure if this question is directed at me?, Davis Tent sells the angles for there tents.

dont get a ranier cause they leak like a sieve even after 2 cans of scotchgard.  we had to cover it with a tarp.  nice looking tent but they leak big time.

  used mine for several years before i got my camper in all kinds of weather and never had a single leak

Rainer is tooooooo spendy for what you can get from Davis Tent at way less and higher quality....

 :tup:on your tent. I bought a 10'x12' Davis tent 10 years ago and it never leaks. Love the tent. I made two 10'- 2x3 knot free fir for A frames ,10- 5' -1x2 knot free fir for the side walls, and a 15' 3 peice 2" galv. pole for the ridge. It holds up the the rain ,snow ,and wind just fine. Your going to have many many years with it. I was thinking of adding anther tent for cooking and one for sleeping.

There is a diagram on www.walltentshop.com that might help you when measuring and cutting your frame.

I heard a few months ago that the price of cotton went way up..that reflects in the tent prices recently in some of the companies i have checked out

This is true, when I started getting serious about buying a tent I procrastinated a bit and Roy said nows a great time to get one before their prices go up due to the increase in cotton prices.

Paid $901 for my Davis Tent, stove w/ all ecessories, and angle kit.... All came from Davis.... The poles cost me another $40 I couldn't touch the same size set up from Rainer for under $1300....

i think i got my angles from the moscow place.  it is not their fault they dont fit cause i measured the tent and cut all the poles.   the tent works good .  i cover it with a big tarp to help with warmth and rain.  i take a big chunk of cardboard for the door.  cozy.  mike w

If you can, take a picture of the tent set up so we can see the problem and maybe help you out.   A couple seconds of measuring and cutting would work A LOT better than having to use a piece of cardboard.

last weekend on the ronde a guy gave me a tent fly and we hooked it up to the front of the tent and it covered the 2 foot hole well.  keep trukin.  luv you guys ,  this is a good spot for info.  mike w

Not sure why you insist on continuing to "patch" the problem.    I'd think that if you corrected the problem, you'd be much happier, and then you could use the fly you were given as a fly.

Sounds like an episode of the Red Green show!

Today the weather was good enough for me to set up my new tent.
