I have The North Face 3 person tent and I really like it.
Got as a present from my kids Mountain Trail (or something like that) backpacking 2 person tent. It hardly fits one person of my shape and has extra space for my wallet only. My The North Face has two vestibules for riding gear, like jacket, pants, boots, helmet...
So, even the "present tent" is really "limited" (did I mention it doesn't have the rain fly?) I was thinking to give it a try because it's REALLY small when packed and... it's the present from my kids.
So, my question is: if you have small(er) tent and your riding gear can't fit in, where do you keep it over night? Once I put my jacket and pants on my bike and then covered the whole bike with the waterproof (?!?) cover, but in the morning, because of the dew (no rain, just dew) and because the gear was touching the cover, the gear was slightly wet.
I already read about some "tricks", like keeping the gear and other "water sensitive" stuff into a dry bag, or make the area between the bike and the tent covered by tarp or something and keep the stuff there...
I would like to hear your experience.
Thanks.
