Its working out fine. I have some minor leaks in the ground sheet, during heavy rain. Other than that its is quiet homly.
Pro this model packs down small.
Con you have to use most of the roof when the tent is open. So you have to move anything you have up there. If I was doing it again with more people I would get a tent that folds over the side. That way to can pack half the roof space with stuff you don't have to move.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
