Any one use a awning tent???
As I'm selling my camper I'm thinking of either one of those awning tents or the cheaper version of the 30 second tent

just need something that's simple to use and light weight as well,
was going to buy a small caravan but I'm over towing,
the other alternative is to get a tarp made to wrap around the awning frame

I have looked at them at ARB, pretty good value for money, I think they were $269.00. They were still a couple of weeks away when I was looking. I'm keen on them too, saves setting up the camper trailer for one night stays!

I would not like that at all. PITA if you want to move the car for something.
I've got this tent and I love it. It is so easy to set up.

Mate has the 4 peg one pole pyramid tent but they are a bulky item when packed about 900 x 900 x200 Ok if you have a roof rack,plus they weigh a bit as well
Not knocking them as easy as to erect, That's why I thought the 30 second tent may be better, still move the Patrol if required.
, downside is they are 2mtrs long packed,

Yeah Darren's is massive when packed. Again no good if you don't have a roof rack. I throw my tent on the back seat

But yes, I also like my new tent.......

Mate the way I see it is I don't need it I only need it to take Phil and Cons gear.
And that's a lot, they take heaps, I love the camper and with only my gear in it it would be great.
Phil and con take about 200kg plus of gear I keep telling them to cull but falls on deaf ears.
All Phils gear alone fills his ute plus the front seat, that much gear
