Walker Tent

Just received my Walker tent for 2021 320 S Boondock. Love it but it’s big & bulky. 

Anyone have any suggestions for packing & traveling with it?

Congrats! which one did you get?
I'm thinking of getting the one with the inflatable posts.

Hi,  We have a walker tent for our '21 320 BD.  Our approach is to leave the side and front walls home unless the weather is going to be conducive to needing a fully enclosed tent.  There are times when we love having the totally enlcosed tent, but it's not needed all the time.  Then, we only take the poles, top and floor.  We also have a car top carrier where we put the tent while traveling.  This comes in handy when it rains the night before you leave and the top and floor are still wet..good luck

Thank you! Great suggestions, especially roof top carrier for wet tent!

Hi! We just received our walker tent and are planning to spend NYE putting it up for practice! Fingers crossed! Do you have a Thule or similar rooftop carrier for the tent? That sounds like a really good tip!

Hi, 

We have a Thule on top of our Jeep GC.  The first time setting up can take a while.  But now we can put up the visor portion in 30 min or less.  The rest takes about 15 min or so.  Watch the video and mark the poles with a sharpie.  Have fun….

Thanks! We got it up and adjusted it and used tape to mark the parts to make it easier for next time. The tent is really nice! I see what you mean about putting it away wet or even just damp from condensation. I think we will look into a Thule.
