How much for the small picture's configuration (the bottom one), and what is required to mount the tent in the first place? Could you post pictures of the various mechanics of how it works?

Also, what does it look like when it is closed?

Falco.

perhaps a better question would be "what fabric are the walls of the tent made from?"

What type of fabric/stitching.

Waterproof or water resistant.

Breathable or non-breathable fly.

Alu or stainless or steel poles/hardware.

ARB makes good quality canvas RTT's that are made tough.

Lots of cheap nylon/canvas RTT's on eBay that are junk.

And everything in between.

here is how they attach
there is a track they slide into so that they can move forward or backward depending on what position you want the tent to sit. fits on any standard racking system.

the tents are made of rip stop poly cotton. there is a fly and a high density matt inside as well.
there are two layers of aluminum covering insulation. not like other companies that use wood.

for viewing call gord

They are made in the same factory as ARB. ARB is made in china like everything else. The same quality as ARB but half the price.
