    I've had a number of tents over the years, from some of the better brands like North Face and others. I've found a really good rain fly is critical, and of course, a ground cloth that does NOT extend past the walls of the tent. That and seam sealer. I took a garage sale North Face tent on my motorcycle trip to AK a couple of years ago. It rained every day. Never had leak problems. The problem with my NF tent was size, too small to sit up in. I wouldn't use it again, and in fact I sold it when I got home for a nice profit! At some point, a pull behind trailer is the way to go. If budget doesn't allow for it, start saving, sell stuff, look for a fixer upper, etc. The challenge with a fixer upper is you really need a covered work space (carport or garage) where you can take the time to do the job right without worrying about weather (rain or snow).

    Bill, I’ve tent camped for years. Haven’t found a tent that doesn’t leak through the roof or walls. Even had the floor fill with water. My wife and I used to tent. She has Parkinson’s somtrips now are not possible. Suggestions for a dryntent and onenthat is large enough for a cot. Thanks...just in case I can get away for a day or two.
