By myself I can do it around 30-45 minutes weather dependent. A brand new 14x16 tent rolled up at our shop is approximately 15" x 33". A 14x16 would be tough to do with a side by side. Doable, but tough. The hardest part with that side by side will be transporting the poles.Hey Guys I've been following this thread and thinking about getting my own wall tent. It would be to support elk and mule deer hunting and occasionally family camping.
The only thing I'm unsure of is the size. It will mainly be used to fit 2-4 people. I don't want it too big so that I can't strap it to the roof or back of my side by side. I need to be able to set it up with two people in under an hour. I'm worried if I get the 14x16 it will be so big I won't want to set it up if there are just two of us. I think I would use it most commonly with myself and two boys, who are 9 and 14 but growing fast.
So my main questions are, how fast to set up a 14x16? How big is it bundled/bagged up? Too big to fit in the back of a side by side with other camping gear? Or must it go in the back of a pickup truck or trailer?
I did! Hope to have it in 5-6 weeks, which seems to be the lead time right now at Davis. I’m hoping it arrives before the weather warms up here, so that we can test our cold weather gearAggie2010- did you order your tent yet??
I went from a 12 x 16 (almost 20 yrs old ) to a 12 x 14 From Reliable tent.@Beendare what size is your tent? How many people do you sleep in it typically? Where do you get aluminum poles? With the 3/4 floor do you have issues with bugs and critters in the warmer seasons? Do you typically cook inside the tent or outside?
I ordered mine on 2/19 and was told around 6 weeks. I still have about 2.5 weeks until mine is "due". Can't wait to get it and maybe even try it out on a turkey hunt this spring.Thinking about grabbing one of these. I've got a canvas spike tent that I use for quick trips but would like to add a larger one for extended trips with more people. About how long is it taking to receive the tent after ordering?
The Go Tent can be set up in 15 - 20 minutes solo. An extra 10 - 15 minutes on the 10x12.How long does it take to set up the Davis Go tent? How about the 10x12?
Right now we are right at 7 weeks.Thinking about grabbing one of these. I've got a canvas spike tent that I use for quick trips but would like to add a larger one for extended trips with more people. About how long is it taking to receive the tent after ordering?

We skipped the fire treatment, upgraded to the large stove, added the extra windows, a poly rain fly and the max stove baffle.
I think we might add on a porch down the road.
Yeah. It's nuts right now.My hunting buddy and I just ordered ours last weekend from Davis Tent and they told us the lead time is 10 weeks right now.
I’m just glad we ordered it on the early side. LOL.Yeah. It's nuts right now.
Taylor,Pay no mind to the stove pipe. I was trying something and it didn't work.
This is the new Go Tent. It has the traditional pole system. The advantage of that system is that it has less poles than the internal frame, so it is lighter. The internal frame has more of an open concept. It has more poles and is heavier.Taylor,
What size tent is this? Is that the traditional pole system or standard angles w/ EMT? Can you run through the advantages/disadvantages of each?
What's the packed size of each of the components for the 12x14?
Does your valley stove have a gasket on the door? I've read that it really helps with creating an air tight seal to control burn times. Is there any merit to that claim?
