My wife and I are strongly considering purchasing a Davis 14x16 wall tent (Elk package) with either their medium or large stove. Wall tents are new to us, so we want to get it right on our first purchase. I have only heard great things about the company, so no hesitation going with them or their products. However, I would like some thoughts on this package as it relate to my needs? On sale, it is at the top end of our budget, so we're trying to spend it wisely without upgrading where it isn't necessary. We certainly don't want to look back either and wish we had done something different or added another feature.
So, here are the options we are considering now are:
Elk Package
So, here are the options we are considering now are:
Elk Package
- 14x16 wall tent
- 3/4 floor
- 12 Piece Angle kit for internal frame (I'll buy and cut my own 1" EMT.)
- Davis add-ons we think we want
- Fire treatment
- 2 extra windows (1 each side)
- Deluxe Tent Bag
- Sleep More Max Stove Baffle
- Large (Peak) Stove Upgrade
- 14x16 Poly Rain Fly
- Couplers so that the 1" EMT rafters pack small enough to fit in a short pickup bed.
- Western Hunting Base Camp 5-7 days each year
- 7-10k feet elevation, warm to freezing cold
- Family Summer Camping Tent 3-5 days each year (Potentially hot weather)
- Right now we don't have kids, but that could look different 2+ years down the road. We decided to size up to the 14x16, since we expect our family to grow in the future.
