I got the opportunity to try out the new prototype for the CVT hardshell!! I took it up to the San Juan’s to do some camping with family. We had a blast and left no one on the cold ground.
So far I love the ease and quickness of setting up the hardshell. It’s definitely not as spacious as the fold out tents, but a pretty sweet setup none the less. Although the awning that comes off the tent is convenient, I may prefer a separate awning that has more coverage.
It may seem cumbersome toting around 2 tents, but it’s worth it if it gets people out there camping and enjoying a relaxing weekend.
All in all we had a great time.
Looking forward to many more trips and adventures this summer!!
Very cool, Cavanaugh! Just out of curiosity, where did you guys camp up on the S.J.'s? I have been to San Juan, Orcas and Lopez.
We camped at Lakedale. It was great, huge campsites that were very private. Not sure if there is any dispersed camping on the island? I haven't camped on any others yet.
