Model 81000 works for minivan

"This tent is nicely designed and does the job on my Toyota Previa minivan very well. I can set it up by myself in 20 minutes (two people would be faster), and it hooks up to the van with no problem. It is really convenient to be able to disconnect from the van in a minute and leave the tent on the site. Just a few relatively minor issues: 1) If you camp in rainy/windy sites you might want to invest in the full-coverage rain fly. 2) It would be nice if the pole sections locked together more securely. They tend to pull apart while you are trying to put up the tent. 3) I had one seam on a door zipper that was sewn wrong and prevented the zipper from working properly, so I had to rip that seam and resew it. Other than that the tent work really great."

Excellent Purchase

"Great tent and lives up to "as advertized". Although sold as an SUV & Minivan tent, we actually bought it for use on our Toyota Tacoma pickup which has a camper shell. Fits great and assembles in about 15 minutes. Makes thae camping experience and sleeping arrangement so much better. Highly recommend this product & company."

"Just got back from a trip to Northern Michigan with the tent. It performed like a champ. An hour before arriving at the campsite we drove into a massive thunderstorm. Set the tent up in about 10 minutes under sheets of falling water. With the longer rain-fly (you absolutely need this) draped over the top window screens, we managed to keep most of the water out during set-up and within 20 minutes were lounging in dry comfort in chairs as the storm raged on. Was quite an adventure and a lot of fun, especially for my Californian friend who had never been in a big Mid-Western storm. I hooked the tent to my Element and the total overall interior space was palatial relative to my usual backpacking tent. Loved watching the lighting through the rear skylight. Highly recommended. Don't forget that you need the full-length rain fly!"

"The tent is very good quality and easy to setup. The size is HUGE. We put a raised queen aero bed in it no problem. Its especially nice that the SUV sleave zips off for cleaning. My Land rover gets really muddy when we go camping. This is a perfect addition to our LR3. Enjoy"

As expected

"Product worked exactly as expected. Straps to fasten the sock to my truck were better than expected. Fabrics, seams, et al were also as expected. Working the zippers without getting the storm welt caught took a bit of practive but was also doable. Other reviewers noted the difficulty getting it folded and back in the bag. I can see where that could be an issue. I bought a larger duffle to hold the tent and the groundcloth and went away happy. As I'm using it in the desert, can't say about the short fly/water resistant wall plan. We'll see."

"I bought the tent on Auto Anything website and we are duly impressed in how snugly it hugs our Mercedes GL. We put our new 'Buddy' infra-red propane heater on the rear deck and snoozed fitfully every night during bike week. It goes up easy, detaches easily to use the SUV if needed, but does need the optional full rain fly instead of the mini."

"First time using the tent went great. Was easy to set up with two people. You could probably set it up by yourself just about as easy, but two are better. If you fold the tent carefully when you pack up it does fit back in the bag. It is roomy and fun to use."

"Excellent value. No problem to put up or take down. I'm 74 years old. If I can do it anyone can. Even got it back into the bag with no problem. We sleep in our 2008 dodge grand caravan on an air matress. Use the tent to stand up to change clothes. Works great!"

Great tent!

"This is a fantastic product. The tent goes up very easily--ten minutes or so--and the sleeve that fits over the hatch of the van works SO well--we just had a great first-time trip with it, and it took all of 30 second to detach and drive out for a nice dinner--then re-attach when we returned (takes some careful backing to get centered with the tent again). So what if the tent does not fit easily back into its carrying case? What tent ever does? We keep ours in one of those large blue Ikea shopping bags--it is the perfect size. Or just slip it into a large plastic bag. Finally--AutoAnything is GREAT! They had the tent to us almost instantly."

Storage Bag/Container

"The Tent with the poles and canopy is to hard to get back into the carrying case. It's all nice and neat the first time you take it out of the box/bag but who has the time to take the care required to put it back. It takes to much effort and time to fit it back into the bag. I would appreciate it if you provided a larger storage container or some easy to follow instructions on how to fold it quickly and still make it fit into the bag."

"I absolutely love it! It is bigger inside than I thought it would be. It would easily fit 4 people and 2 people in my SUV. I haven't had the chance to use it yet but it was very easy to put it together and to take it down. My family and I are extremely happy with this purchase. We will recommend this tent to others. Thanks!"

"Finally found a tent that I can easily set-up by myself! The quality of this product is exceptional with heavy-duty sleeve attachment to my SUV. It has great ventilation. With 3 large doorways it provides many entry/exit options, which is great when camping in tight areas. Only problem is deciding where to sleep, in the SUV or in the tent. I love this tent and would recommend it to all campers who prefer to have multiple set-up options available."

"it's neat that it extends your storage in the tent. The only downfall was that when you're outside of the tent and you try to unzip or zip it back up, it often gets stuck in the material. I suppose that happens to most tents, though."
