I puchased my first wall tent this year from Davis tent. I was going to go with the internal frame but they talked me into the trad frame that was included in the price of the package i bought. I could have spent more for the internal but didnt. After reading the directions on their site on setting the tent up ihave no problem putting it up by myself. Also with this investement i figured i woud do it right and put inthe options i wanted. After all if im going to spend this kind of money i wanted to get everything i wanted.

I got their 14X16, with a removable floor, put windows in both sides, and added another door on the other end. The main door i added the storm flap that way if the zipper froze i could stick shut the door. I did get their cylinder stove package with the hot water heater. Also purchased the rain flap to help protect the roof from the stove and sun. Had them add 6 ft to have a awning over the front door. I figure with this set up i could us it in warm weather (with the windows and extra doors) and i even added screens to the doors so the bugs wont kick me out (when im using it here in the midwest). I LOVE this tent.

It took my 2 years to save up and decide on where to buy mine. After calling Davis tent and talking with them i was very informed and happy with their products. They do not recommend using the blue tarps on the roofs as this doesnt allow air to get o the roof and condensation buildup may happen. Also they claim you never have to treat their tent with Canvak or any other water treatment. Its supposed to be treated for life with no further work needing to be done.

One thing im happy with is a 14X16 tent that i can put up myself.

If your serious i would call them and talk.
