      @@My_thought_bubbles a stretcher bed will literally fit but for me at 5'11 my head and feet would touch the tent causing condensation to accumulate on my bedding and give access to biting critters!

(the alloy frame is the same size in the RV 3 4 and 5) I don't bother using pegs unless I want to have the rear window cover out.

      Hi, juanita, Glad you are enjoying the channel! Yeah, packing up in the rain is no fun and you can't leave it packed up ready for the next trip...although, I do leave the gazebo packed up if its wet. its quite durable and cheap, so I'm not concerned. but, my new (expensive) tent is always unpacked and set up when I get home, wether it rained or not (thats one of the reasons I got a quick pitch tent) even if it didn't rain, there is probably some condensation or morning dew on it and being canvas, it is very susceptible to mould.
      Happy camping!
