Re: First "Real" Camp, Looks To Rain and Rain, What should I have for leaks?
Don't worry about the weather forecast. They can't predict very well IMO. Like others said, take duct tape and a tarp just in case.
I would go with the one that I believe has the best product. Price won't matter when you find out the canvas has an issue or something. What are talking. ...A few hundred bucks?
Make a list. Save it to Google drive so it always with you. Put everything you take on that list. One column is stuff that goes in the pup. The other column is stuff that goes in the tow vehicle. Always check the list before you leave. And yes the crank handle is on the list!
