Kamp-Rite Camoflauge Rainfly Review

Kamp-Rite Camoflauge Rainfly
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This item is perfect for my needs. I don't use it with the cot it's supposed to go with, I use it as a waterproof cover for numerous items or as an additional or substitute rainfly when camping/outdoors, etc. The camouflage is especially useful for covering items for which I don't have room to store inside i.e. a bike, etc., and this helps prevent would be thieves from discovering those items when they are poking around in your backyard on a winter's night! The quality and thickness of the material is good and the shape of it makes it somewhat easier to use as a weatherproof cover than a tarp. A hunter could easily use this as a "blind" by setting up a few sticks to hold it up and getting behind/underneath, or as an emergency shelter. It's very light and can be compressed into a small backpack with ease, and I bought the largest version (the double). The price is not bad for the quality and the shipping was prompt. I would definitely recommend it if you feel that it suits your needs. The Mossy oak breakup camo is beautiful, beats a regular blue tarp by a long shot!

Kamp-Rite Tent Cot Double Tent Cot (Green) Review

For those whom are considering buying this product-you don't need another review that praises the ingenuity of the Tent Cot so I'll just give you the gripes.

1. Should have included a rainfly
For heaven's sake I could see sunlight through the sewn seams of the roof of the tent which were not taped.A rain fly should not be considered an accessory!!!!!!!!!Yes, I ordered one today.

2.The grommets that secure the poles (you insert the poles in these gromments at either end of the tent roof) for the roof were offset from the center of the strap making it difficult to insert the end of the poles.Quality control problem?

3. The roof would have been better (in my opinion) as a noseeem roof WITH A RAINFLY INCLUDED!!!!!!!!!

4. The instructions are terrible. The setup is simple if you have done it once or twice or have seen it done. Try to figure out the simple setup from the enclosed crude instructions and you will wonder how they can engineer such a great product and stop the process when they got to the instructions-typical old school engineers.

5. No UV protection for the fabric expecially for the rainfly (poor show). $13.00 for a bottle of 333 UV did the trick.

6. At 40+ pounds I would still be tempted to backpack this in for short trails (no ground sheet, mat, stakes, fly weight) but it is so wide. If they had a couple/decouple in the main tubes so you could fold it in half-that would be the ticket!!!!!!!

again a great product but it could be so much more with these little extras.

hope this helps

This would have been a 4 star product if it were not for the above issues.

for what is worth....

I will give you a bit of info on me so that others who were in my boat will be able to better understand.Im a large guy @ 6'5" and 330lbs.So for those of you wondering how it will hold up to us big guys, it did well.I never felt like it was under too much strain and was also long enough.I bought this tentcot with intentions of using it on monthly Boy Scout campouts.We generally dont hike in to our sleeping quarters otherwise you might be leaving this at home unless you have a pack mule to carry it for you.That was one of the biggest issues, but I knew this before getting it, so it was an expected problem.I have a truck, so it fits in the bed of it easily, if you have a small car that the rear seat doesnt fold down to slide it through you will be strapping this thing to the roof, it is large(see product for dimensions).I did buy an air mattress to fit inside, and fits almost perfectly to the inside dimensions, only problem with that for us longer people, with the approx. 8" of height added from the mattress and with the gradual taper from the ends of the tent, you lose about 6" of length(roughly).In otherwords your head and feet will be touching the ends at full extension if you are 6'5" or taller.I dont see it as a problem for me because I dont sleep at full extension, although I did not use this during my campout yet to see how it worked.I took the tentcot on its first excursion to Woodbadge(Scout Leadership Training), and it just happened to be in the low 20's so it got a good test, as well as a little bit of rain, but it held up well, and was very comfortable.Something else I need to mention is there is a bar that runs through the middle of the bed, its as if there were 2 cots stacked side by side, so if you were thinking of getting the double so that you could spraul out, you will definitely need the air mattress.I like this bar, because im a side sleeper and dont roll around much when sleeping so it was very comfy.I used the other side to set up all of my camping gear(backpack, clothes, lantern etc...).I also bought the underneath gear storage bag, i thought i would use this for my shoes and things that might be dirty or smell, to keep the tent clean, but also keeping the stuff from getting soaked in the rain if left outside.Its also very easy to setup.I do recommend practice at home, but after one try at home, I saw how easy it was, and you will always be the 1st one finished setting up your tent!As I use it more, I may notice more good or bad things, but for now I am very pleased with my product.And everyone that sees it will want one!

Product Description:
If you've done a fair amount of camping, you know that sleeping on a cot inside a roomy tent is far more comfortable than sleeping on the ground. Now you can combine both luxuries with the double-size Kamp-Rite tent cot, a fully framed and enclosed cot with nylon sides and tie-up no-see-um mesh doors and windows--just like a personal tent. The legs of the cot are suspended a full 11 inches off the ground, keeping you away from moisture, snakes, and rodents, so you needn't worry about waking up with a mouse inside your sleeping bag. More significantly, the cot is roomy and comfortable, with plenty of space for two people to stretch out and sleep in style. (The double version is longer than a queen bed and almost as wide, with plenty of headroom thanks to the tent's dome styling.) Simply situate the tent cot on any piece of level ground, toss in your favorite sleeping bag or blanket, and you're ready for a great night of sleep.
The tent cot's frame is made of lightweight yet durable aluminum, with anti-vibration aluminum nuts and bolts that won't loosen over time or rust. The "tent" portion of the product features durable 420-denier nylon fabric with no-see-um doors and windows that open on all four sides. When the outer nylon doors are zipped open and the interior no-see-um mesh doors are zipped closed, the tent cot is 100-percent insect-proof yet still encourages 360-degree airflow--a must for warmer climates. The durable one-piece Cordura nylon-fabric sleeping surface, meanwhile, is firm and level, helping you sleep soundly throughout the night. And should you encounter severe stormy weather, simply set up the "total encapsulation" rain fly.
Easy to set up and transport thanks to the heavy-duty carrying bag, the double-size tent cot measures 84 by 40 by 53 inches (W x H x D) when set up and 53 by 7 by 31 inches when folded. The cot also comes in alternate original and oversized one-person sizes and is backed by a one-year warranty against defects.

Kamp-Rite Tent Cot Original Size Tent Cot (Green) Review

This is a great tent.It works as described, however it has a few problems: the headroom is very low, I stand 5'5", and although I could sit up in it hunched over, my head would brush the top (not fun in the morning with cold dew).The 2 legs really aren't enough for good balance, I tipped it lengthwise while moving around in my apartment, so on the campsite I was extra careful not to get too close to one end.

The foam mat on mine was heavily bent at the joints, forming a low spot which was a bit uncomfortable.Also, you will need some sort of extra lining under your bag as it gets very cold down there.

Besides that, one of the best nights Ive ever had camping.I found myself somewhat creeping to one end and hitting the small side with my head. Fortunately its long enough to slide back towards the middle.I was able to lay in it and change my pants, but it wasn't easy.

I suggest going with the oversize which has the dome top, its only a little bit bigger when folded up but I'm going to bet that dome will be better at directing rain/dew away, and will allow you to sit up and not hit the roof.Everybody asked me what the hell it was, and lots of people said they thought they would like to try one out.

Kamp-Rite Compact Collapsable Tent Cot Review

Kamp-Rite Compact Collapsable Tent Cot
Average Reviews:

I chose this model over the more popular flat roof one because of the extra headroom and pleasing half dome shape and I liked the option of just using the cot without the tent. It takes a little more time to set up the tent part, but the clips make it super easy and the poles stay in place while you do it, so no problem for one person to set up and I'm only 5'3". The spreader bars hold the poles in place and also offer a place to hang my pac towel to dry! I also like how the tent part zips onto the cot--there is only one way it can zip--and I like how the ends velcro to the bottom edge of the cot at each end. The screened windows gave me a nice view and plenty of ventilation which is needed in such a narrow tent. It is also very durable. I had three boys playing in it quite vigorously and nothing gave way. The pockets inside were very handy too. There's even a water bottle holder. The fly also goes on the tent easily although the ties that hold it to the legs are a little flimsy. I was camping in a backyard so being off the ground did not impact the lawn. This tent cot could go anywhere if you can carry it in. It's on the heavy side for walking very far, but the bag it comes in has very long handles that help and the load is nicely balanced being long and narrow. I couldn't be more pleased and it's so cute it offers a lot of entertainment value to those I visit and for pictures.

Kamp-Rite Oversize Tent Cot Review

I'm 6'-1, 205 pounds and 63 years.Took it to my deer lease for a tryout.
My inflated air mattress went in easily from either end flap.The tent is well ventilated, and it's easy to control the ventilation with the four flaps over the mesh openings.The double zippers on the mesh and the covering flaps are convenient.There is plenty of room for storage of personal items [clothing, shoes, toiletry kit, etc.] at the head and the foot, plus the convenient overhead pockets for watches, lights, billfold, keys.Easy to set up by laying it on its side while unfolding the leg supports and securing the straps.Hardest part [requiring some strength]is getting the shock-cord poles arched in place to create the domed top.But having the dome is very worthwhile, as you can sit up with full headroom while changing clothing or whatever.It's a well designed product with more room than expected.Slept like a baby!
