My DH will be having a birthday around the time our T@B arrives, and I'm thinking a camping hammock might be a nice present for him (since our SUV will no longer be stuffed with tent camping gear!) Can anyone recommend a good one - standalone please, not the kind you have to hang from trees.

    There is quite a large selection of them at Walmart.com or at Camping World.

    I bought this one at the end of fall so I haven't had the chance to use it, yet. A friend recommended it to me and it has 5/5 start ratings total of 158 ratings) on Amazon.

    I know you're looking for a stand-alone but for those thinking of one strung between trees, I've been in two National Parks that didn't allow them. Tree damage was the explanation.

    We bought our folding hammock from Walmart. It is self contained with a sun shade folds up to about 6"x6"x48" it is a little heavy but comes in its own storage bag. They are in the camping department.

    I bought mine when I still had my Jeep and could tie one end to the Jeep and another end to something else. If we were inventive, we would find a way to tie the other to a mount on the T@b. You could also get something that goes into the TV hitch receiver.

    Never been a hammock guy - for some reason I just don't like them.

    I would love an outdoor couch, which if course is not feasible.

    We have a full size rope hammock that is very comfy but the steel stand is so heavy I can't schlep it in and out. Would love a lighter version if I could find one.
