Kamp Rite Compact Collapsible Tent Cot (3-in-1)

Kamp Rite Compact collapsible tent cot is a true interchange 3-in-1 type, suitable for campers, hikers, mountaineers and for various other activities.

Description

Kamp Rite Compact collapsible tent cot is one of my favorites, and the main reason is its 3-in-1 features. So what you have here is a true interchange tool:

• You have a nice size cot and a tent.
• Both can be used separately.
• Both can be used together.

It should not be mixed with the XL version which they have, with the same features but larger.

This is a structure with one door and two windows on its narrow sides. The windows are with mesh and the door has both mesh and a panel.

Note that on Amazon the official name for this product is with the word ‘backpacking’. This may look strange in view of the overall weight which is 25 lb (11.3 kg).

However, as mentioned above, the tent can be used on its own. So you can have all the system in the camp close to the car, and for some shorter tours around you can take the tent alone.

This is a great off the ground sleeping system, so you feel warmer and more comfortable. The bed is around 20 inches above the ground so you can pitch the system anywhere.

This sleeping system comes with two carry bags, one is to carry the tent in the pack and the other is for the entire unit. You also have a  mesh storage hammock on the cot’s base, see the pictures.

My rating, price, pros & cons

The poles are fiberglass so this is not a particularly durable material. But the frame is strong, this is all steel.

Note that the words ‘compact’ and ‘collapsible’ imply that it packs small, so the carry bag shown above is a tube that measures around 43 x 10 x 9 inches (109 x 25 x 23 cm). But the cot requites some small assembly, you have to add those roof poles.

The link below shows the price for two of them, it is updated daily so please follow it to see more.
