![]() ![]() Straps were 6" with 2" sewn in and 4" hanging off. Looking at the pictures of it laid out, the tiles are 12" tiles so, using those as a guide, it should be something around:Ĥ8ish" tall x 2" (at bottom) x 8ish" at the top We left some extra space on their so the panels would fold over and Velcro together. For the side panels, we just sat the tent up next to the trailer and just measured from the top of the trailer to the tent seam (probably about 4" or so) and then by the door stop on the trailer to the seam (about 2") and then measured from the door stop on the trailer up to the upper edge of the tent seam (where the roof starts) which was about 5ish feet. I will jot down the exact measurements we used when we take it out next weekend, the project was super easy to do. We were fortunate that Valerie knows how to sew and likes it. We bought our privacy tent on sale from their site for $69. Though we found that Lightspeed often has some significant sales (30-40%) from time to time. I am sure with practice it get's easy but we also had this privacy tent and it was just so much easier to set up and a bit more roomy that we thought it would make a better side entrance tent for us.Ĭost wise, they are about the same price though with the extra work we did to modify it, we probably added about $30 to the overall cost with fabric, suction cups, grommets and nylon strap. However, we felt it was a little cumbersome to set up/take down. 221 |Click to expand.We bought our trailer from Mike & Carol and it did have a side tent with it.

With the design of the Privacy Tent, I do not believe a pool would develop on the roof. Our Privacy Tent can handle light-moderate rain, but is not considered waterproof. It is water resistant, but not waterproof. I sent the company an email inquiring about this concern, to which they promptly responded: I was concerned though, about how it would hold up to rain. It is a little pricey, but the design looks good, and the ease of set up is tempting. I was interested in upgrading to the Lightspeed Privacy tent, to use at the lake as a place to change out of wet bathing suits. Just something to consider though (you might need a rainfly?). Good work, Jay & Valerie, on the modifications! I hope it works out for you, and I'm looking forward to hearing about the results of your field test. See here for all the images for this project. Here it is set up in the living room, panels on, floor in and suction cups attached So we removed the mesh part and put in a tarp floor to act as a moisture barrier from the ground. The floor of the tent had a tarp/mesh bottom so water could escape. We marked where the door is on the trailer so we know where to cut out the side wall and hem it up. Where the top and side panels meet, we sewed on some velcro to close that seam. We are planning on using suction cups to attach the panels to the trailer. We added grommets to the side panels and then some straps/grommets to the top panel. We are placing the door to the rear so if the tent door is open and the trailer door is open, you cannot see in the trailer.īecause it has a slant to it, we made some side panels and a top panel for it to cover the gap between the trailer and tent. ![]() We started with a Lightspeed Shower/Privacy tent.
