    Great video. Good job setting it up by yourself. Your wife is a great narrator and has a great voice.

    Thank you so much for this vid. I tried to set up my 84000 for the first time in my backyard today, by myself, and partly because my yard is so tiny I couldn't really set up everything.. Also, my SUV was not present for the party... My biggest takeaway from this is that I need to start with the tent/hatch interface connected before trying to raise the tent. The other thing I learned here is that apparently the screen room can be unzipped from the main structure -- I didn't know that. Thanks again!
    My biggest challenge today was trying to get the taken-down tent to fit back in the bag. I finally gave up but will try again tomorrow...

    This is the easiest 1 person set up i have seen so far. I think you nailed it by attaching the tents to your SUV first. Thank you for demonstrating this.

    Awesome. Just picked up myself a 'used just once' Napier tent same as yours. I was tempted to get the screened room also but was concerned that perhaps it may sometimes be in an awkward position for some campsites. I thank you for setting it up solo because that is what I like to do. I wish you would have put the awning up solo too just for demonstration. I will be putting mine on right away and am hoping the windows are big in it like the tents are. Thanks for the video.

    The best video on this tent set up I’ve seen. I just bought the newer Napier for my Honda Fit. It’s a little big for that car but was advertised to fit it. I’m 5’1” tall and it was impossible for me to get the collapsible poles up to form the dome and I camp alone. It would be great if someone would do a video with the newer Napier connecting it to a Honda Fit and getting the collapsible poles in the sleeves and tips to get it to stand up.

    • @kayeashton2818

      Rose did you end up being able to put up the tent by yourself. I;ve got a Honda Jazz (same as Fit).

    • @rken563
      @rken563 3 роки тому +1

      Yes, I was, but not easy at all. I ended giving it away, too much work. I bought a Clam Screen shelter which I love.

    We have the same tent and also love it!! So easy to set up and even clip off the car to drive away for the day.

    • @kmcca204
      @kmcca204 3 роки тому

      Thank you for that comment. I’ve been curious about getting this tent but was concerned if your able to leave the tent up but disconnect it from SUV to drive around and explore during the day, then reattach tent to SUV when you get back to campsite. Is it easily doable? Or too much of a hassle (disconnecting/reconnecting)?

    @josemontalvo4532 6 років тому +2

    I received the same tent. For some reason, it seems that I’m missing parts to the tent. I’m going to put it together to see how long it takes to do a one person set. I also want to see if the tent is complete. I like your idea of the tarp on the floor before you set up, it is very prudent. Thank you for sharing this important tutorial. Great producer too! Awesome vid!

  • @donlyl3

    Hi! Great video, thinking of getting one! How does it handle with heavy rainy day? Any water leaks in certain areas? Also what’s the size of the tarp you used? Thank you!

    • @Houseofhaha
      @Houseofhaha  Рік тому +1

      We never had any leaks from heavy rain and storms, unless there was actual flooding and then we had seepage from below. We had this tent up over winter on the Oregon coast with plenty of wind and rain, and it survived to stand two years in the hot California sun. We definitely recommend it! Our tarp was 10' x 20'. Good luck in your future camping adventures!

  • @SuccessInSightPodcast
    @SuccessInSightPodcast 4 роки тому

    Hey there, I echo what others have shared, I now have real-world confirmation that the Napier tent can be set up solo. Thanks so much. BTW, I see that you're writing a book. I have a lot of fiction/nonfiction writers on my podcast. I would love to have you both come on as my guest. Let me know if this interests you.

  • @usaman7358
    @usaman7358 3 роки тому

    Question please: Can this tent be easily used without the part that attaches to the SUV? I understand the porch part can be completely eliminated but is that the same with the SUV part? I ask because I can buy this tent (used) for less than $100 but I'm in a car and not wanting the porch and SUV part. Easy to eliminate both of those pieces? Thank you very much!
