The Tent Cot created by Kamp-Rite is an exceptional alternative to the typical tent, by including the cot in the design you get it all in one unit. Elevating yourself is the best way to get away from anything crawling on the ground that might concern you.
Like a tent it is a convenient place to store your gear and keep everything including yourself dry. You can even use it as a flat cot on clear nights as well as a lounge chair for just relaxing. This is reliable and versatile piece of camping equipment and it would be a smart way to go for anyone in the market for a new tent or cot.
Specifications of the Kamp-Rite Tent Cot
Designed to set up and take down in seconds, Kamp-Rite went with nylon top & sides and an aluminum frame. These materials make this a very durable structure. It will hold up in just about any wet weather condition you can think of. Because you are up off of the ground it is easy to keep your tent cot rather clean making clean-up as quick and easy as wiping it down with a cleaning wipe or two.
You have plenty of room to comfortably fit two people. Width x Height x Depth it is 90 x 40 x 32 inches when it is set up and 34 x 7 x 34 inches when it’s folded. This model gives you 12 inches of additional headroom space compared to the original tent cot. And, thanks to the aluminum frame, you will be up 11 inches off the ground, nice and safe.
Although it may be a little on the heavier side for backpacking, 24 pounds is not too bad for what the tent cot offers.
Accessories
In addition, there are a couple accessories for the Kamp-Rite Tent Cot that add more luxury. The best way to stay dry is with the rainfly, 420-denier nylon fabric and tape sealed. The storage bag also comes in handy for various items that you wish to keep near you. To get completely set-up you are looking at right around 200 dollars.
There are more lightweight options that you might try out if you want this product for backpacking. While it may not be as heavy duty, FUNS off ground 1-person ultralight backpacking tent cot weighs just 5 pounds.
