That's not a tent, that's a damn house.

Agreed.

The tent system is modular so it does not have to be fully set up and the walls are optional as well. When there is rain or a lot of heat it makes for a great shelter.

what's a solar blanket?

They are very lightweight and the tents are modular so you can set them up however you like, we had rain and cold so more square footage is better.
Tec2 is 990lbs
Tec5 is 1279lbs
Chobe Tec is 1679lbs
They all have full kitchens with 75L Dometic dual zone fridge/freezer, 120L water capacity with pumps for the taps, and 2 of them have hot water on demand and showers, electrical panels with 4 USB 3.1A charging ports, 110V charging ports, can be powered by solar, generator or shore power. All have LED lighting throughout and with the independent suspension I barely felt them behind my 4Runner off-road.

Loaded or dry?
Oh right...I remember these. You were trying to sell them to US folks on another forum.

A solar blanket is like a solar panel just designed to be lightweight and foldable, with the ability to drape over a vehicle or pretty much any terrain while absorbing the most sunlight.
Pic of the 120W only 7.9lbs and the size of a very thin laptop when folded up.
Pic of the 200W only 13.6lbs and the size of a laptop when folded up.
Pic of them folded up next to a Goal Zero Nomad 100W portable solar panel that is 10.2lbs and lower efficiency rating.
200W on the right, 120W in the middle

Soooo...did you ever receive USA NHTSA approval to sell in the states? Do they have the certs?

They are being sold at several RV dealerships now in the US. So they do comply with all approvals required. I am the Canadian distributor and there is also a US distributor. Currently I am the only one bringing in the Chobe Tec Caravan the tan colored one and the Tec2 which is the lightest of the 3 at 990lbs.

Nice. I'm sure the prices are exceptional and well within everyone's budget here. :tape:

Just like anything in life they will apply to some and not others, it is just another option to enjoy getting out there is all.
