 Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2013 2:32 pm Post subject: Big Top Tent Styles? |
 |
|
Hello, So a buddy and I recently put together two big top tents that had been sitting in his shop for two years. Both very similar to each other in style and color but the doors that hook up to the bus are different? One opens up and allows you to access the whole slider/barndoors and one is half the size and has a round window cut out almost like a half moon and both don't have screens? does anyone know what difference is? why the half moon window and what its for?

Careful how you secure the tent to the poles. Those little hooks aren't supposed to snap on to the pole. They loop around it and hook back on to the tent. You'll start breaking them soon if you keep doing it how you have it pictured.

Thanks for that tip. I just got one myself. Came in the new bus project. You can see I hooked mine up incorrectly.
