Ozark Trail "Connect Tent" Review - OUTSTANDING TENT!

Connect Tent by Ozark Trail Review. Ozark Trail Instant Canopy. Canopy Sidewalls. This is an outstanding tent! It sets up fast and easy and it is very roomy. It is very inexpensive compared to tents of the same size. It is versatile and customize-able. I've tried a lot of tents over the years and this is my all time favorite. I highly recommend this tent.

EXCELLENT VIDEO... Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am getting ready to take my Vintage 1972 Travel Trailer out... (live in it) while searching for a house when I move up to Albuquerque, New Mexico (US)... It is amazing how an extra "ROOM" can make such a difference (for your soul, and sanity) LOL. Y'all Have a Blessed Day... Stay Safe.

We had a tent like this as a kid...the tent was from the 70s...it's funny to see these types of tents coming back

I bought an Ozark trail Screen attachment & hung it around the outside so I had half tent & half screen room. It was great!

[@jamieblankenship2345]

I actually have the ones that connects on the outside. They have worked great. I also used that spray. I've been camping for a month now. Starting in Texas, Kentucky, then Michigan. They have held up through several bad storms. Love the set up.

[@peternehf2164]

Your one heck of a gal, I like your thinking ! I stumbled across this canopy/ tent set up and as I looked for more info I came across your video. You have a creative approach for an economical yet fully functional tent set up. I have a slightly different scenario but very similar in the end when it comes to the need for some kind of tent This is great what you have done for you guys, creative, comfortable and economical. Way to go !

[@bretbecky711]

Thanks Peter!

[@peternehf2164]

in addition I might add thank you for the tip on the spray waterproofing. I had also seen a video on using silicone caulking on any and all seams and zipper stitching preferably before you spray

[@monkeyb1820]

there are some good vids that say to mix mineral spirits with clear silicone caulk, stir it all up very well, then use paint brush to paint the seams of tent/canopy (on the interior). That's what seem-sealer is. The mineral spirits will evaporate, and it seals the seams very well.

[@kerryquinn7188]

Brilliant set up. Looks like you have everything you need to hand with plenty of pockets and storage etc. Love camping since l was a child going fishing with my grandfather and then making happy memories with our own children. Still love it in my fifties makes you feel so free l don't know why some people are so snobbish about it. Great video l watched it a couple of times. Hope you have many more camping trips making plenty more memories.

[@missmix48]

This was such an informative video thanks. Are the legs strong on this canopy? Thanks for the heads up about putting the sealer on the top of the canopy. Just wondering could one lady in her 70's put that canopy up alone?

[@bretbecky711]

I am in my 50's and I am pretty small. I can do it by myself. It is pretty heavy, but it comes in a bag with wheels. It takes a little longer to set it up by yourself because you have to walk around it and walk the legs out one at a time. I think the legs are very strong. The entire canopy seems very sturdy. We have used it several times and I still love it.

[@cantstartafire]

Might try using a grommet kit and using short bungie cord instead of ties. Great video, thanks!

[@bretbecky711]

Thanks! I think that's what Becky has in mind, but I can't be sure. I will tell her your idea though. We appreciate ideas like this that make life easier.

My wife loves those side walls . We have three we use . Our connect tent is the ten by ten . She calls it our living room .

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

You just gave me an idea. I have a section of patio that would be nice if I used one of those panels.

[@fleegull]

Great vid people. Prior to any U-tube showings, I bit the bullet last spring and bought the same canopy as yourselves with the connect tent that fastens to the outside and was very pleased with the set-up. I spent 9 nights in the southern Asheville area where it lashed down every day and most nights. I wrapped one wall of the canopy with a monster camo tarp and also utilized the 10 ft table that's designed for this system, leaving one open wall. I set this system up solo and after the initial fiddling about I've got it down pat. Although I didn't waterproof it and the rains and winds were heavy, at times streams of running water came into the canopy and under the tent I did not get wet whatsoever. I've since used this system in at least 4 camping spots in 3 weeks in the Nantahala area and again stayed dry. I felt like King Tut. It is a great set-up and a bargain as far as I'm concerned. In fact, today I swallowed the bullet again and bought another canopy, the same tent as yours, the mesh bug netting, 2 sun walls and 2 pocket walls and a whole bunch of other goodies that will make car camping life as comfy as possible. I can't wait to get out there and assemble my second home (truly, may become my first - and only . Viva The Constitution - without the 1st, we lose the 2nd n visa versa. Happy travels folks, be safe out there. Just subbed, Cheers.

[@bretbecky711]

We recently adapted it to our van and it makes a good "front porch". Thank you very much for watching!

[@ashleyquinn2587]

@@bretbecky711 what do you mean adapted to your van? Also how big is the inside tent? Like could you fit a Coleman inflatable hot tub in the tent part?

[@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594]

YES ... it has a floor, but the ceiling is bug mesh cooler in summer but hard to heat in colder weather The tops of the windows don't seal either This product relies upon the 10 x 10 free standing canopy (sold separarely) to shield inclement weather. Be sure ro get a weather proof canopy (more expensive) than a "shade" canopy, typically $ 79.99 @ W*M. .

[@garywhelansr5602]

Nice set up im 62 but out of sleeping smaller tents. I like this but them poles are sturdy are they n the material is it like conduit or lighter my concern is the heavy winds.

[@bretbecky711]

They are lighter than conduit.

[@OGLYASDI]

I was wondering, on that one panel that you cut and added a tie to...how about attaching that tie to a rope and staking the rope to the ground along the side of the tent? Just a thought....🤔

[@frankthompson7526]

That's a nice set up! I looked at one of those but didn't really understand how it worked since it was a "connect" tent. I was afraid I would get it and it would not have the poles to set it up.

[@pjaypender1009]

It doesn't have the poles to set it up. It "connects" to the canopy and uses it's poles.

[@marlamorris3721]

It literally hooks to the 10x10 straight leg canopy. They are sold separately.

Anyone know where to purchase this under canopy version? I can only seem to find the ones that go outside the 10x10 canopy. On line or a store? I’m in northern CA. Thx.

[@DHandyFamily]

The only thing I didn’t like was on cold nights the tent stayed really cold as the heat went right out the top. We had two heaters going at the beach. Wish they didn’t have such big mesh screen on the top.

[@mrhalfstep]

Hello, girl ! I didn't know you had this channel, but I recognized your voice right away from watchin' a bunch of your Hillbilly Kitchen videos lately. I would like to know if you have tried this in a hard rain by this time. I have bought 2 different brands of these pop up type canopies only to have them fill up with rain and collapse and totally destroy themselves by collecting all the rain in the roof until the weight actually bent and broke some of the legs in two. I think some are made to provide "shade" and "protection from the elements" and just aren't meant to be used in the rain unless you can be there to push up on the roof every so often to get the water to run off. They don't leak, they just don't let the water run off because they aren't steep enough or they aren't braced just right and sag to form 4 giant bowls to collect tens of gallons water and 5 gallons of water weighs 45 pounds! I love the idea, and would buy this setup in a minute if you could tell me that it for sure holds up in the rain. Glad I ran into you here!

[@MyMason100]

Same here in 2021 !

[@wyattsdad8561]

Hi great vid thank you for sharing. Do you know if the tent company makes one that takes up the whole 10x10? I want to make a thing called a hot tent, which just means it will have a tent stove in it. Is there a floor that is in the tent portion? Thank you again

[@bretbecky711]

Sorry, I don't know, It would be nice though. Yes, the tent portion has a floor in it.

[@ingeniousviralproducts]

This was the tent I wanted to buy, good thing I checked it. It doesn't come with the canopy. You'll have to buy it for a separate product. I don't get this concept. It's like buying a house but you'll have to purchase a roof from another supplier.

[@annwithaplan9766]

Nice video. But you never said how the inside tent got set up. Since you said it was a "connect tent", am I to assume that it only connects to the legs and roof of the canopy? I thought I saw a roof section on the inside of the tent. I have several of those exact canopies. I actually got 4 of them and another different one. I gave one to my daughter and used 3 in my chicken run. Several months ago when we got snow (not much because it melted the next morning), that night it accumulated on top of the canopies the weight caused the tops of the legs to bend completely in half, break and bend the top roofing sections. 2 lost, one left untouched. If you're going to be in the rain, make sure all sides of the canopy fabric is pulled as tight as possible at the corners AND in the middles so that you have no sagging. Otherwise you'll have a lot of water to push out of the top sides. : )

[@constancepullen810]
