    US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups

    I sold some of these back in 2011-12 before the whole Overlanding became a thing. At the time I think I bought 4 soft tents and 4 of the clamshell ones. I never had any issues with any of them at the time with no angry customers. a good broker is key too
