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 oversize 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 to stretch out and sleep in style. (The oversize version offers 12 inches of additional headroom compared to the original tent cot, with extra elbow room on the sides as well.) 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. As a bonus, you can also collapse the tent cot into a flat cot orientation, letting you take full advantage of the sun's rays on a warm afternoon, or you can convert the cot into a lounge chair by tilting one end upward.

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 oversize tent cot measures 90 by 40 by 32 inches (W x H x D) when set up and 34 by 7 by 34 inches when folded. The cot also comes in alternate original and double sizes and is backed by a one-year warranty against defects.

There's nothing I didn't like.

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!

Is it a cot or a tent....

I bought this tent cot because I usually have to set up the "field kitchen" as well as my personal tent. I'm often tired out after all that is done. The tent /cot is a short cut that saves me time. I also purchased the rainfly in case it rains. Setup is easy, as well as tear down. The only negatives is that it is a bit heavy, and takes up a lot of space in the back of the pickup truck. When the rain fly is on it becomes very airtight and does not breath very well. Quite a bit of moisture build up during the night. I opened the inner zipers to help with this. Overall though it works very well.

Product and price are excellent. Have already recommended to all my hunting and fishing buddies. I would also recommend to any one. This is not an item to pack in on your back. It is great for hauling to the beach in the boat or on a four wheeler to a campsite. I think this item is perfect for what I do.

It's a great product

I love this thing. It is easy to set up and take down, as well as comfortable; does need a mat or air mattress. My tent organizer just fits in the end of it with lots of room to spare, and it fits in the trunk of my Toyota Echo. It is heavy, so I bought a luggage cart with a wide platform at the bottom to haul it around on. Sure beats putting up a tent and all that goes with it.

Its all that is says it is

Easy to setup and breakdown. You need additional padding to make it more comfortable. But it's lots of fun. Mine came with the rain fly but that's not mentioned anywhere, so don't buy it separately.
