Tiny Tents!?

Question

Hello. I'm looking for a 1 or 2 man tent, that packs away as small as possible, for motorcycle travel. The weight is not a factor. I've seen in the past some form of tent that pitches using the bike as the poles and support, so any info on that would be great as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Wal-mart. or any army-navy surplus store will have small tents.

Answer 2

I was looking at these today in a sporting goods store. The single was about 150 dollars.

Answer 3

These are my 2 favorites. They are not cheap but they are built to last and are super compact when packed. I've seen lots of bikers use them.

Also I've always found this one pretty cool but I've never found the need to tent up my bike:

Edit* This is probably bigger then what you are looking for but I also recently saw this really nice one. I've never used it so I dont know about the quality. It's a little heavy but they say it packs up small (22 inches) and it totally looks awesome!

Whatever you go with dont forget your kickstand base plate. I wouldn't want your bike sinking in the soft soil near your tent!

Answer 4

Eastern mountain sports. Who knows if they have those in your area, but they specialize in camping equiptment.

Answer 5

Look for hikers' gear, it packs small and light.

Deal with a real sporting goods store, like REI.

Tents come in four "grades", if you are a serious camper who might run into cold or rainy weather occasionally the best bang for your buck is  "three season convertible".
