for those looking for camping tents
Was looking at tents today at crappy tire and there are a whole bunch of last years models going for really cheap. and some are coleman and windriver too. I was looking to get a tent and use the frame for a winterized tent. one coleman tent was 17 x 12 feet with 6'4" height, old price $350 going for $120. another tent they had would make a great ice tent for overnighters. if you go to your crappy tire store as a clerk to pull up their screen to tents and see what prices they're offering.

Crappie tire tents might be worth what you pay for them. If it rains, snows, or blows you'll wish you'd spent more....

I got a Coleman Phoenix tent from Crappie tire. 19ft by 12ft. I have had it for 2 years now and it has stood up quite well to wind and rain.

Gave up hope trying to find a tent that didn't have mesh in it for a decent price. Started using my eskimo ice tent. Works like a charm.

Why would I want to spend much money on something that is going to bounce around the back of my quad once or twice a year????
