M.I.A Tents - From the makers of Waterport.

Hi I'm the OP for this MIA Tent thread. I switched to the Odyssey and it has its own set of issues. The floor are slats and not solid so there is tremendous amount of flex while off-roading. Lots lost creaks and squeaks. Finally the ladder hooks onto the side which pushes up against the opening and hinders the zippers from closing or opening smoothly. Finally, you need an rack that sits above the cab a little to clear the sharkfin antenna. The mounts are useless and bought some flush mounts from ALU Cab which is what all RTTs should include. So I basically bought an RLD Cap with Top tracks and Prinsu bars just so my Odyssey sits right. With all the weight I had to buy Deavers so it didn't sag. So my Oddyssey purchase ending up costing more. But who cares lol!

 

I really want a hardtop(aluminum) with the rails.

 

is that the 55 inch version. It looks huge! Sucks that there’s so much issues with the mounting…..

 

We are doing $2499 local pickup on our aluminum 54”x86” for Black Friday!

 

How am I able to get one of those tents?

 

It looks like their site is gone. I'm glad I ended up returning mine because that's not a good sign.

 

That's not a good sign at all. What was the issue with the tent you got from them if you don't mind me asking?

 

It was several minor issues that were making me question the long-term reliability of the tent.
- Latches broke; got replacements, those started fraying as well
- Mounting hardware wasn't sufficient to hold the tent from sliding; when trying to resolve this by just tightening it, I stripped out two of the bolts with hand tools trying to fix it
- The tent couldn't close evenly, even after I removed the mattress
- The shell was slightly warped which looked dumb
- Fabric was loose in some places, too tight in other places
- Pole holes didn't line up with slits in the fabric
- Tent is heavier than comparable tents
- The manufacturer didn't seem very active; they claim it's the same company as WaterPort, but it felt more like a skunkworks operation that was selling whitelabel tents (I'm sure it was now)
