Thing is, my friend is coming back home and invited me and a couple of others to go tent camping like the good ol' days two weekends from now. Aside from loads of Claritin, what else do you do to stay allergy-free while camping?02013-04-02T02:51:26Zmikeporterhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/3403/scope/postsOur trailer is currently in the shop right now going through some repairs. We've been itching to get out and have been thinking about tent camping again. It's been quite a while, after all. We've been scouring for some lightweight tents, and we came across some lightweight popup tents. They look quite easy to set up, which is a good thing for us since we haven't done this in a long time. But of course, looks can be deceiving. Has anyone tried using one of these? Are they really as easy to set up and pack again as they all claim? Thanks in advance.22011-06-13T15:13:58Zjosh54http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/968/scope/postsThis pic from google earth is in an area I frequently hike in. I've never seen someone put something like this around their tents before.

I've been doing some looking around and now I'm torn between getting the usual tent or one of those hammocks with a cover. Any suggestions? 92012-07-19T09:53:35Zmelissahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/2643/scope/postsI recently came across an article showing how to waterproof your tent so that it won't leak. I've been using a tent well before we got our trailer and this is definitely the first time I've heard it. I've never really saw the need to waterproof my tent before. Has anyone been doing this? How often do you do this? What do you use?82012-06-26T16:39:50Zmadidihttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/2520/scope/postsAny suggestions on how to cool down the inside of the tent and make it bearable to sleep in with this heat? 82012-05-19T01:29:01ZTShislerhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/2272/scope/postsWe're planning to do a bit of tent camping starting this year. It will be me, my wife, and three small kids. From the looks of things, we're going to do this now during the spring and during the fall. I don't think that the kids will be able to handle the heat during the summer. From the looks of things, we might need a cabin style tent to meet our needs. Most of those that I've found are either nylon or canvas. Which would be the best material and can you suggest any tents? 32012-05-11T05:21:26Zangelahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/2228/scope/postsWith gas prices going up, we decided to alternate bringing our popup camper and do a bit of tent camping again. We tried to do it last weekend and one of our kids (aged 10) didn't enjoy it. She was up all night with all the sounds that she heard in the night. Is there any way to calm her fears? 52012-01-23T03:46:38Zharoldhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/1626/scope/postsOver the holidays, I was helping out my dad with some work in the garage when we came across the old canvass tent that we used to take with us camping when my brothers and I were younger. Of course, it was really rotten now and we had to throw it out. But finding that tent really brought a lot of fun memories camping as a kid. Does anyone of you still use a canvass tent when camping? When was the last time you ever slept in one?72009-07-16T15:04:13Zmelissahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/45/scope/postsi have another concern. i am in the process of booking a camping trip for me and my boyfriend for our 2 year anniversary. we decided to go camping on the beach because we thought that it would be an intimate setting for us.but the tents are so close to each other that i am afraid that we will not have privacy. should i keep the reservation (the beach is beautiful) or go to another site? 42011-11-18T05:59:24Zmaximohttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/1404/scope/postsI decided to do some tent camping on my own a few weeks ago. I got my old tent which has always been a favorite since it's nice and big. Haven't gotten around to use it for about a year since we got our trailer. It was raining while I was camping, and I noticed that the tent is leaking on the sides. With all the household expenses rising, I'd want to deal with this the most affordable and practical way possible. That being said, is it possible to salvage this tent and fix this, or is buying a new tent the only option for this? 62012-01-26T01:36:29Zhenryinreallifehttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/1661/scope/postsI just recently came across this article talking about solar tents being the next best thing when it comes to camping.

Since many of the places we're going to stay are pretty much new to us, one of my friends was thinking that it might be a lot safer if we sleep in a tent truck rather than on the ground. Of course, if we rent one for the trip, it's going to cost us more money than just taking our tents and pitching them. Has anyone tried using truck tents? Feedback is highly appreciated.42011-08-11T15:19:15Zabreu88http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/1109/scope/postsHey guys, just wanted to get some feedback from my fellow campers. So why do you do it? - I do it to keep my families traditions alive, to remember my father, and show the universe that I am grateful for my place in it. How bout you?

Here are a few tips to keep warm and comfortable when tent camping in the fall: - Bring more clothes than you think you'll need - Make sure you have enough firewood - Make sure you have a properly rated sleeping bag - Be sure to have a storage device that will keep your gear protected from the elements42011-08-31T19:16:56ZCalvinhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/1151/scope/postsMe and my friends are planning to have a tent camping for the upcoming labor day weekend and we wanted to buy tents. There are 4 of us 2 couples, so we prefer to have 2 tents. Our price range is around $250-$300 per a tent. Rainproof is a must because we tend to use it again maybe during next summer =) Double Doors is also a must, if I wanted to sneak out to scare my girlfriend in the middle of the night I can =p Tents with Interior storage is a plus. Height of the tents don't really matter but I need to be able to sit down inside it! Please recommend me some brands! Thank you! 12011-06-22T14:52:45Zharoldhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/1018/scope/postsHello everyone, I am looking to buy my first (3-man) tent, which I intend to use in a variety of situations: festivals/mountain/beach. I am undecided between the said two category of tents: dome and pop-up. I am tempted by the easy set-up of pop-up tents, but I hear that most of them are single-skinned and so they don't prevent condensation from forming on the inside of the tent, when it gets cold outside. Aside from this, I assume they are just as stable in the face of winds as dome tents are. Could anyone who has experienced both types of tent share which would be the pros and cons of each? Many thanks in advance for any replies! 52011-06-13T15:13:59Zjosh54http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/24/threadid/969/scope/postsThis pic from google earth is in an area I frequently hike in.
