    There's nothing really special about it it has the standard features that I'll outline once we receive them. This order is to establish the reliability of the basic tent. When that is confirmed we will add some unique features.

    No warranty since we're just looking for testers. There would be a bit of risk in it but having seen the production process and more photos of the tent I am confident in its quality and am buying one myself.

    Ok. If I had a rack I'd be down! My wife even liked the idea! But unfortunately we don't have anywhere for it to go.

    And it looks like you've got your 9 folks already

    seems there is a factory out there who makes a tent and multiple companies are utilizing the same manufacturer because I am seeing literarily the same tent now being branded under multiple companies.

    I would not be surprised if one company in China make all of them. Of course they would be manufactured to the retailer's specs as far as size, material, features.

    On the other hand, how many different ways can a wheel be shaped? Form tends to follow function.

    My last communication with the OP was that the deal fell through with one manufacturer and they were looking for another. So this deal is off.

    Nope... wasn't shooting at him. Just wanted some clarification as to how he saw the production process.

    My black belt Google Fu powers couldn't find pics or vids of factory production lines, but I did find this:
