    12' XL Winter Haven on the way

    After at least a year of contemplation and lots of conversation with Jared, I finally pulled the trigger!

    I ordered it earlier this week. Jared emailed back 18 minutes later saying he ordered the material. It won't be a long wait as usual

    Silpoly XL - charcoal gray
    Cat cut
    Snap doors
    12' length
    Side pullouts
    3-pole kit internal
    $$$$$$$$$$

    My Superfly always did the trick, but I wanted more width and more space inside when in "hunker down" mode. 3 poles should do it!

    Seems to be the theme today. I deployed mine last night.

    Very nice! It's always nice to have a big tarp to cover everything. I got a 13' ft Winter Dream with 2 internal poles from UGQ. It's great for the Ridge Runner. Post up a pic once you get it.

    Looking forward to it! Probably just a test setup in my basement at first, but planning a good winter trip mid-December once the snow adds up a bit more.

    Glad you finally pulled the trigger on that bad boy. I have a feeling it will be a permanent addition to your gear room.

    Looking forward to seeing it in action!

    "Your order is on the way!"


    Always a good way to start your morning!! After a delay getting the material, Jared knocked this thing out in no time.

    I slept under my WH last night in the wind and cold rain. I really appreciated the coverage and the door snaps.

    Soon, I'm guessing it will arrive December 13-14 if USPS doesn't decide to play ring around the county again.

    Vanhalo, in that photo can you pull out the doors more to make more of a "beak"? Or was that pretty much the normal setup?

    I've been looking at this same setup and wondering the same thing. My thought is that of course you could pull the doors out further, but it may require the sides to be brought in a bit. It seems that as you maximize the width (distance between the two sides) you limit the position flexibility of the doors. I imagine if you increased the width further, you may not even be able to connect the snaps. Please let me know if I'm thinking about this incorrectly.
