    Damn, that's a hell of a deal! I found my Napier Sportz III for $229 shipped and am really happy with it. But for that price, sheesh, you can't go wrong!

    Yeah seems to be pretty cheap compared to the other ones I've been seeing. I'm gonna order it tomorrow I think.

    Be sure to use that code in the link I attached above. Save a few bucks.
    Good luck.

    I'm torn between a model that doesn't have a floor, and the models with floors (as shown in this thread).

    My concern is the floor models will have excess material that bunches up around you, and generally makes the tent hotter and less convenient. From the pictures, the interior looks "baggy".

    I also kind of like the idea of no floor because you can leave some stuff still in the bed, and put the tent over top of it.

    Anyone care to weigh in?

    I like the tents with floors. It would protect you if rain/moisture would find its way onto the bed floor, and as a sealed unit would keep bugs out.

    Finally had time to get the tent up for a test fit! Pretty nice and for the price, I can't complain.
