I was just curious if anyone had some insight into how worthwhile the window prop kits were or not. It seems like in light rain or in some hot sun they could be nice to still be opened up and protected, but before investing in some, I figured I would ask and get some real world perspective. Any thoughts?
In my opinion, I prefer the windows propped open rather than the flaps rolled up all the time.
I’ve had mine for 2 years. Haven’t used them. I have friends that set them up as soon as we are in camp. I just don’t spend much time upstairs that isn’t sleeping.
I’m in the desert southwest, so don’t do much rain camping. I have a Moon shade to setup if it’s extra sunny or some rain, and my REI Flexlight chair allows me to sit in the back of the truck if there is a bit of rain.
If it was warm overnight, I can see the advantage to not rolling up the flaps as jabironman mentioned above, but so far haven’t needed it since I can always go to a higher elevation if it’s hot at lower - or I just don’t camp when it’s hot.
