We folded it up today!

Well we decided to fold it up and put the cover on the Roof Top Tent this afternoon, it went well but it looks like we will have to use a ladder because it is soooooo tall, but hey that's what I wanted. we took it out for  a little spin and even a token Geocache to break it in. I'm very happy with it so far, I'm looking forward to all the places this should open up for us, now we just need to get out and get camping!!

More fun!!!!

We got out and made some more progress tonight, we got the ladder attached and set it up roughly to see how it went. The only amusing part is that it is so tall we had to actually have Dendra open the windows and lean out to help put the rods in the rain flys, great fun for the neighbors watching I'm sure.

A little more progress today

Well it stopped blowing and snowing and raining so we decided to try and put the tent up on the van, all the kids were gone back to work/ school/home so the only one left to volunteer was Dendra! we had brought the tent into the living room and unpacked it to check it out and assemble part of it in preparation for installation on the van. We were amazed with the quality and size of this thing, it looks like it should work great. Next thing we got it put it up on the roof with Dendra's help, then came the fun part, trying to put bolts in a place you can't even get your fingers let alone your hands. tomorrow more fun!

Look what showed up in my driveway!

So after a wait of about a week the big day arrived, a big truck backed up to our driveway and unloaded our new Roof Top Tent. the big challenge now of course is to get it up on the top of the Van and get it bolted down. I have a feeling it's gonna take quite a little effort but I'm excited to unpack it and get on with the fun!
