Slaan die tent nooit af nie? Hoe gemaak wanneer jy die pad vat?
Good morning Andre
Nee dis juis die trick van die ding.
Gebaseer op daai ou vasbyt bedfords so hier in die vroeee 70's daai seil agter het mos nixs oorgekom. Die RTT self is n proto-tiepe Easy-Awn met net so dik seil.
Ek't die RTT gekoop vir R1500, ievers in Midrand toe ek so ietsie ander's probeer, so RTT bo op n groot box trailer... Dit het glad nie vir my gewerk want eerte ek moet dit eers opslaan en tweede die bliksemse leer ek haat daai ding... Veral met die 02:00 stappie...
Met die contrapsie, as ek nou laat by plekkie opdaag, maak oop / klimb in / slaap... As 02:00 oppie blaas klop, uit-klim een stappie av en.. wel.... nou jaa.... (en as ek so in n karavaan park is, so half groote HTH bottle werk puik)!
Ek't hom so ontwerp dat die RTT se seil fly-sheet is "sacrificial" in geval eenige iets gebeur, maar oor so 3 1/2 jaar, nog nix. Die tent self sit in die slipstream, daars net so bietjie turbulance wat van die Landy afkom wat langs die kant gaan, maar nixs erg nie.
Onder is so photo van hoe dit binne-in lyk.... Kyk, binne is net slaapkamer. En ja, ek slaap gemaklik, nie oppi grond and under 3 layers of canvas, each one fully waterproof in it's own right.
As I mentioned, the awning is actually a 5x5m Army tent roof that I bought at a farmers market auction for R800 poles included (there is a story there). Just as i was walking past the auction concrete-strips, the bidding had stopped at R700, the tent was folded, not wishing to open it which may have then pushed the price way higher, I bid R800, and it fell on me, totally on spec. When I opened it, it was in 100 % condition... But the sides where shot. So I ditched them, stripped off all the hooks and strips and made sides from 80% shadenet, because it's waaaaay cooler that solid canvas sides...
Taking care of storm water? Other than perhaps digging a trench upside, I don't.
My pitch is set so that any extrieme water run off can just gallop straight through and on out the door.... goodby! Nothing get's wet and it just dries out anyway, that's why I dont normally put a groundsheet down.
because of my attitude to water / rain ETC, 80 % shadenet keeps most of the wet out.... That's all I need
Camping solo, and over and above that, camping remote where there are no facilities / recovery / help at hand & completely off grid poses a number of challanges. It's quite different from what 90% of what other camper's do, but over many years, I've worked out quite a rock-solid method.....
FREDA: Mooi foto's Warren en ek weet jy het nog baie. Onthou net, die kaalgat foto's mag jy nie hier wys nie, daar is ouderdomsbeperkings. Die een waar net jou two-tone voete bo die water uitsteek, is OK.
