Over a year ago, I purchased this pop-up clamshell tent delivered for less than $800 from Temu. Now I see they’re being sold for over $1600.

(I no longer purchase on Temu because I had to do a chargeback on a bait and switch that Temu tried not to refund!)

Robust nylon canvas and comfortable mattress. Comes with a ladder and mounting hardware and fiberglass stakes to keep the awning open , (which I have not shown) This thing is thin when closed! It can’t be thicker than 7 inches collapsed. The Aluminum alloy clamshell seems robust. Mattress seems ok. Ladder could be stronger but seems ok. Finish is peeling. I’m happy with the purchase, but sadly will avoid that vendor in the future.

Anyway, looking forward to lots of adventures.

Future plans:

A/C leaking. Gonna kill the rear double a/c fender mounted units. Evaporator will be my stockpiled brandy new Red Dot. Will mount UNDER the tent. Perfect area that takes NO space.

Rear window.

Windshield camera with backup.

Heat and soundproofing.

Stereo.

Already installed :

3000 Watt 24-110V inverter

24 volt boxed military power impact kit

Second military 24 V impact gun (gun only) just for wheels

110/220 V flux core welder.

M1152 rear seat fillers that act as a floor for a bed and as a compartment to hide the tools. Rear seats are gone but can be reinstalled in a hot minute.
