Here’s a guide and some advice for choosing the right tent for your needs.
While some campers prefer to buy or rent RVs, which can contain many of the creature-comforts of home, others don’t mind a much simpler setup constructed of poles and fabric.
What goal is the tent trying to achieve? Some are purpose-built for being as light-yet-tough as possible for remote adventures. However, some backpacking tents are small and might be non-freestanding, which means they have to be staked out to maintain their shape. The largest tents weigh more than 50 pounds, which is fine if you’re car camping and have help setting up.
Another increasingly popular category is rooftop tents, which mount to a car or truck’s roof rack and keep campers off the ground. These are accessed by an included ladder but can be heavy and expensive. Consider your car’s rooftop weight limit when buying. But these tents, while inexpensive, may be of lesser quality and only last two or three years. I’m a proponent of making an initial investment in a product that will last perhaps four times as long.
