A must have addition. So glad to have it. Besides the protection from the weather it keeps the tent darker at night which is a plus for me. I think it helps with the temperature in tent. Helps keep the warmth in and also keeps it cooler on the hot days.
Finally camped in my Kodiak 10x10 up in the Le Poudre canyon in Colorado.The Kodiak tent got rained on for two weeks and handled the rain like a champ,very satisfied and recommend this tent ,
I purchased the truck tent to use on an elk hunt. Setup was very easy, I installed it on the truck by myself in about 20 minutes. Weather moved in and it rained for 3 days straight, my gear and I stayed dry.
