nomad, that is good, I'll have to admit, but we might have one better.

Last year, the Michiganders and I were camping somewhere in MI, and a nice young couple pulled up next to our campsite. As they unloaded the truck, the guys in our group couldn't help notice the 18 year old Brittny Spears look alike with her 3" heals, slowly unloading the truck with her boyfriend. After the tent was set up, something very unexpected happened. They boyfriend pulled from the bed of his pick-up, a Sealy Queen sized mattress, and plopped it into the tent (after much coaxing). While he was "making the bed", the little lady was..... get this, sweeping the dirt in front of the tent with a broom. I haven't been car camping since.

I'll admit that the first free-standing tent I bought was had a hexagonal footprint. So, I went to the local foam store and had them make me a piece of foam to fit my hexagonal tent. Good car campin days, them was.
