It takes me 5- 8 minutes to set up. Super easy. If its really windy 2 people are better.
I personally like this over the jumping Jack due to the hard lower sides and hard top. Its really sturdy in the wind. Also, I keep most of my gear inside the mig trailer when I store it.
I also have a roof rack on mine so I can haul a bunch of gear on top. Probably not an atv though like with the jumping jacks.
The guy I bought mine from bought it new and it sat in his garage for 4 years. I was the first to use it after I bought it last year.
I added LED lighting on a dimmer that I plug into
A goal zero battery/inverter box and a wave 3 heater that's hard mounted to the side of the box inside.
They only made around 30 of them and stopped for awhile. They are back to it and hoping to have processes in place this month to begin production again. I'm not affiliated with them at all, I just was able to get ahold of them to ask them some questions and they told me about their status. I have communicated with them a few times including right before this overnighter with a question and she told me that they are excited to be making them again.
When I was looking for something like this, I wanted to be able to fit my family of 5 inside with our gear. I also wanted something that was somewhat off road capable, small enough to pull behind my Jeep, and not crazy expensive. A roof-top tent was out due to the size, a normal tent trailer was out because of the off-road capability and weight of many of them and crappy build quality that I saw in a lot of them. There are some nice overland trailers that are crazy expensive but even those ones rarely fit five people, and often those ones are fairly heavy, or at least too heavy for my 3.8 L Jeep to pull comfortably. Basically, nothing on the market fit my needs. (At the time they were not making these anymore.) I stumbled on this on KSL and looked into it and it is the best of all of these worlds. I found a bunk bed cot that spans between the two beds in the trailer and fits my two older kids perfectly, my wife and I on sleep on one bed, and a pack and play fits on the other bad with enough space on that bed still to hold a bunch of our bags of clothes and stuff. It's light enough to pull down to Moab without much problem and built pretty sturdy to handle dirt roads. It was exactly what I was looking for.
I can take some specific pictures of it if any of you have questions.....
